Climate change efforts recognised
Saint-Gobain has again been named as a member of the ‘Climate Change A List’, drawn up by CDP, a global non-profit organisation that identifies companies involved in the fight against climate change. The group was recognised for its actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions over the past year, mitigate climate risks and develop a low carbon economy. For example, Saint-Gobain has installed turbines in India and Italy to produce electricity from previously non-recovered energy. By the end of 2018, the organisation had reduced its CO2 emissions by 12% compared to 2010.
The environmental data collected by CDP from more than 8400 companies and 900 cities and states around the world makes CDP’s platform one of the richest sources of information globally on how companies and governments are taking action against climate change. The companies evaluated are assigned a score from A to D, based on the comprehensiveness of disclosure, awareness and management of environmental risks and by judging their level of environmental leadership through the best practices implemented, such as setting ambitious and meaningful targets.
