SAINT-GOBAIN commences very low carbon

SIDING PRODUCTION IN THE UNITED STATES

 

Saint-Gobain annouces that it has commenced very low carbon production (scope

1 and 2 emissions down 96%) of siding at its US manufacturing sites in
McPherson (Kansas), Social Circle (Georgia), and Williamsport (Maryland). This
has been made possible thanks to the electrification of its manufacturing
processes at these three sites, backed by 100% renewably-sourced electricity.

 

Saint-Gobain plans to convert all its US siding manufacturing sites to net
zero emission production facilities (scope 1 and 2) within the next few years.

 

This complements the company's three existing Power Purchase Agreements that
will provide enough renewable electricity to cover over 70% of electricity
demand at all of Saint-Gobain's industrial sites in North America by 2025.

 

It is yet another tangible demonstration of Saint-Gobain's commitment to
reduce its CO(2) emissions, with the aim to achieve net zero emissions (scopes
1, 2 and 3) by 2050. This is in line with the world-firsts achieved by the
Group in recent years, notably net zero production (scope 1 and 2) of glass in
France and plasterboard in Norway, and very low carbon production (scope 1 and
2) of glass wool in Finland. It further strengthens the Group's position as
the worldwide leader in light and sustainable construction and its leading
role in helping to build a carbon-neutral economy.
