Sustainable Development
Saint-Gobain PAM UK is serious about its role in preserving the environment and making the world a better home. The company has an active environmental policy, which has recently been updated, and encourages its employees to play a participative role in environmental control. We will demonstrate our commitment to these values by the implementation of an environmental management system in accordance with the principles of BS EN ISO 14001. Saint-Gobain PAM UK works closely with legislative bodies, such as the Environment Agency, in monitoring and measuring its industrial activity.
We have continued to decrease carbon emissions, achieving 31% CO2 equivalent reduction (5 year rolling average) compared to our base year 2010, and we are working towards our target of continuous reduction year on year and to be Net Carbon Zero across all aspects of the business by 2050
Our Ilkeston site has reduced carbon emissions by 85% since 2010, and 99.5% of waste is currently recycled
At our Holwell site, almost 1,000 tonnes less was sent to (our own) landfill in 2020 compared to 2019
Our achievements are independently audited under the Achilles Certified Emissions Measurement and Reduction Scheme (CEMARS). In September 2021 we were delighted to mark another landmark in our carbon reducer journey when we were awarded CEMARS Platinum standard (based on a 5-year trend)
