Our LCA & EPD Roadmap

Sustainability sits at the heart of all our actions. At Saint-Gobain Surface Solutions, we are committed to providing our customers with complete transparency regarding the environmental footprint of our products and solutions throughout their lifecycle. This commitment drives us to set a bold objective: to ensure that 100% of our product portfolio is accompanied by comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data by 2030.

Our path forward is clear, and we are accelerating our efforts. In 2022, we had LCA data for 12% of our portfolio; by 2023, that figure rose to 17%. By the end of 2024, we anticipate reaching 35%, positioning us well to achieve our 2025 milestone of 50% coverage. This proactive approach underscores our unwavering dedication to sustainability and accountability.
