Saint-Gobain Marine’s sustainable commitment

At Saint-Gobain Marine, our ambition is clear: to become the leader in lightweight and sustainable solutions for the marine industry. This vision is in line with the ambition of the Saint-Gobain Group, which has committed to carbon neutrality by 2050, and the initiatives of maritime organisations such as the International Maritime Organisation (IMO). Our proactive approach, encapsulated in our value proposition "Raising the Standard at Sea", reflects our commitment to driving positive environmental change and setting a new benchmark for shipbuilding.

To make sustainability a reality, we focus on providing alternatives to traditional heavy marine construction methods, delivering innovative solutions that improve environmental performance and operational efficiency. Our sustainable solutions are designed to reduce carbon emissions, lower resource consumption, improve health and comfort on board. In particular, we focus on lightweight materials, which are critical to reducing vessel weight, fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions.

As a comprehensive supplier of sustainable marine solutions, Saint-Gobain Marine has a unique position in the industry. We offer an integrated approach that spans multiple solutions, from high-performance glass to insulation and flooring. This diverse expertise enables us to make a meaningful contribution to sustainable marine construction, addressing a wide range of environmental and performance needs.

Saint-Gobain's approach to a sustainable future

Our approach to sustainability is based on two pillars: Better for the Planet and Better for People. These pillars guide our commitment to environmental protection and human well-being, ensuring that our solutions make a positive contribution to both.

Better for the Planet

• Energy & Carbon: We prioritise increased energy efficiency, greater reliance on renewable energy and a reduction in embodied carbon emissions in our products and operations.

• Resources & Circularity: We focus on reducing the use of non-renewable resources, reducing freshwater consumption, extending product life and minimising non-recycled construction and demolition waste.

Better for People

• Health and safety on jobsites: Our solutions reduce installers' exposure to hazardous substances, ensuring safer and healthier working conditions.

• Health & Wellbeing Indoor: We aim to improve indoor air quality, enhance acoustic and thermal comfort, and optimise visual comfort for a healthier on-board environment.

Through this inclusive approach, Saint-Gobain Marine is committed to pioneering sustainable change in the marine industry, setting a standard that benefits both the planet and people. Our innovative solutions are designed to meet the challenges of marine applications while advancing our shared mission for a better, greener, healthier world at sea.
