2021 results and outlook for 2022 Non-financial results

Integration of the United Nations sustainable 2.3 development goals

To embed the sustainable development goals (SDGs) within its CSR approach, Saint-Gobain draws upon the materiality analysis (see chapter 2, section 1.3.2), the Group’s stakeholder dialogue, and its understanding of its value chain. Generally, Saint-Gobain is actively following the debates on SDGs and reporting, especially the working group initiated by the Global Compact. The 17 SDGs were subdivided into different levels: SDGs aligned with the strategy, moderately aligned SDGs (limited scope of influence or associated with a specific activity) and non-priority SDGs where the Group has little or no impact.
