Saint-Gobain recognizes the importance of the SDG17, partnerships for the goals, and develops multi-stakeholders partnerships to mobilize for the SGD. Generally, Saint-Gobain is actively following the debates on SDGs and reporting, especially the working group initiated by the Global Compact. In the future, the Group could make changes in the SDG reporting considering the progress of these works.
