ACTA is a non-profit that aims to provide centres for children with autism, some of whom come from vulnerable families. ACTA renovated a 15-room building and turn it into an autism therapy centre, providing care for around 50 children who benefit from daily 2-hour therapy sessions over a 4-year period.

The Maisons des Enfants de la Côte d’Opale support young people aged 6 to 21 followed by Childhood Social Assistance with physical and moral assistance as well as training offered.

Construction of a new apprentice training centre (CFA) that helps 100 students access the job market each year by training them as electricians. Students also have the possibility of earning a state diploma.

The Children of Vietnam Association has built a new nursery school with additional space to accommodate more children (124 to 200 pupils) to meet increased demand from parents. The school is for children from poor families who could not otherwise afford to send them to school.

The Habitat for Humanity non-profit is planning a second renovation project for sanitary facilities, this time at the Government Girl Higher Secondary School - just 1 month after the launch of their first project in the city of Anakkal. The goal? To ensure female students have access to decent sanitary conditions and to raise awareness on issues of hygiene.

This project aims to install infrastructure to bring lighting to houses and streets in disadvantaged neighbourhoods of Rio de Janeiro. The non-profit has succeeded in installing 100 "solar bottles" in homes and another 400 in streets, while getting local communities involved in the project.

WEB REVIEW

The webzine around our business

Benoit Bazin : «L'équité est un facteur crucial d'engagement», Actualité des sociétés - Investir-Les Echos Bourse

"Tout dirigeant le sait : les femmes et les hommes d'une entreprise sont le bien le plus important et le plus exigeant. Leurs talents, leurs savoir-faire et leur capacité à travailler ensemble en font la réussite. Signe des temps, l'engagement des salariés est l'un des principaux indicateurs avancés de la performance de l'entreprise." Benoit Bazin, directeur général du Groupe Saint-Gobain.

ENTRETIEN. Pour Saint-Gobain, la rénovation énergétique des bâtiments ne va pas assez vite

« Il faut tripler le nombre de rénovations énergétiques annuelles pour rester sur la trajectoire de la neutralité carbone », estime Benoit Bazin, le directeur général de Saint-Gobain. Il sera l’un des intervenants du plus grand forum économique d’Europe, organisé par le Cercle des économistes, à Aix-en-Provence, qui démarre ce vendredi 8 juillet.

Saint-Gobain poursuit son shopping au Canada

Le groupe de Benoit Bazin vient d’acquérir Kaycan, numéro 1 au Canada de la production et distribution de matériaux de construction d'extérieur

Entretien avec Benoît Bazin – «Il faut faire dix fois plus pour alléger la facture des ménages»

Le patron de Saint-Gobain estime qu’il faut accélérer le rythme des rénovations. Les aides promises par les États ne sont pas à la hauteur des ambitions climatiques alors qu’elles sont dans l’intérêt de la souveraineté énergétique.

Claire PEDINI on LinkedIn: Work and health

"As a leader in light and sustainable construction, Saint-Gobain recognizes that the health of our employees, our customers and our partners is an integral part of our responsibility."

Claire Pedini, Senior Vice-President, Human Resources and Corporate Social Responsibility.

Towards modular and scalable housing

"Just as in the past, we have seen the transformation of buildings used for World Fairs, the facilities of the future Olympic Village of Paris 2024 have been designed to meet new uses once the sporting event is over.
When constructing or renovating a building, we should not always assume its final purpose; we should consider housing and construction more and more with this state of mind."

Benoit Bazin, CEO of Saint-Gobain Group.

Large corporations & start-ups: the Age of Reason

"Pitting large corporations against start-ups is already an outdated cliché. I strongly believe that the traditional opposition between these two worlds makes no sense! In recent years, start-ups and large corporations have been building more and more bridges. And we are witnessing a winning hybridization, which is becoming a reality at Saint-Gobain." 

Claire Pedini, Senior Vice-President, Human Resources and Digital Transformation - Saint-Gobain.

Features of the Future Sustainable City

When one imagines a future city, we often tend to imagine a scene from some sci-fi movie wherein technology has the reins to the world, robots steer the economy and we completely rely on gadgets. While all this is a probability that might come true, the predominant concept that needs to be adopted in the future is of a smart yet sustainable city.

Dans « Le défi urbain », le président de Saint-Gobain réfléchit sur le futur des grandes villes

Dans Le défi urbain paru en mai 2021 aux éditions Odile Jacob, Pierre-André de Chalendar, président de Saint-Gobain, s’interroge sur un modèle qui n’a jamais été aussi fragile et demande à être repensé.
