AGC has obtained its first Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for float glass manufactured at its two Asian plants, PT Asahimas Flat Glass Tbk and AGC Flat Glass (Thailand). This is the first EPD attained by the AGC Group for architectural glass manufactured in the Asia Pacific region.

The EPD discloses the environmental impact of the production stage for architectural glass and it benefits owners, architects, specifiers, and building professionals, by evaluating the environmental impacts associated with building materials.

AGC Group will use the EPD to contribute to green purchasing and procurement in the construction industry in Asia. The company will also widen its EPD coverage to high-performance glass products, such as coated glass, double glazing units and decorative glass manufactured at Asian plants.

The company has set the "promotion of sustainability management" as one of the priority issues in its medium-term management plan AGC plus-2023, and has set a target of achieving net zero GHG emissions from its business activities by 2050.
