Saint-Gobain UK & Ireland

Every year, Saint-Gobain release the Sustainable Construction Barometer-an international survey that helps us to understand issues relating to sustainable construction. It takes the pulse of sustainable construction in the world: perceptions, barriers and progress levers, anticipated solutions, the most active stakeholders, and so on. The results can be used to help key stakeholders make decisions around the topic and help to transform the construction industry for the better, through educating and raising awareness of the most important issues, as well as helping us to measure progress and see what has changed in the sustainable construction landscape over time.

As part of our purpose to “Make the World a Better Home”, we believe everyone should have access to a safe, high-performing home that provides comfort, without compromising on quality, resident health, or efficiency. To help make this purpose a reality, Saint-Gobain’s Interior Solutions division recently collaborated with the Quality of Life Foundation to sponsor a roundtable bringing together 15 industry experts together. The aim of this was to discuss the critical question: How can new affordable homes actively improve residents’ health and wellbeing? One of the main outcomes was being able to design homes in such a way that put the resident at the heart, allowing for a holistic and healthy environment that balance affordability with the long term needs of residents, which is something that we at Saint-Gobain are very passionate about. We aim to provide solutions across our portfolio that do just this, enabling housing associations to build houses that last, without reducing the quality or performance levels that can lead to a poor quality of life for residents. Discussions like this are so important when it comes to changing behaviour in the industry, so we’d like to extend our thanks to the Quality of Life Foundation and those who took part in the roundtable.   You can read the full report from the roundtable below ⤵️ British Gypsum Isover UK
