Strong values

To join Saint-Gobain is to become part of an international company with strong values shared by all its employees: our Principles of Conduct and Action.

Positive and respectful management

Because dialog and understanding are essential in the day-to-day workplace, four “managerial attitudes” guide the conduct of our employees in manager and supervisor positions: always be consistent with the Group’s values, no leadership without close focus on people, walk the talk, and no complacency allowed.

Our management teams convey our values and our culture, and ensure the sustainable development of our activities in all countries where we operate.

Diversity

The respect for diversity and the rejection of all forms of discrimination are incorporated into the Principles of Conduct and Action that guide human resources management at every step in our employees’ careers.
