2. STRONG VALUES 2.1 Principles of Conduct and Action Saint-Gobain’s development is founded on nine Principles of Conduct and Action which form the basis of its code of ethical conduct.

These Principles were formalized in 2003 and have been translated into 33 languages and rolled out to all employees. Application of the Principles is a condition for being a part of the Group.

1. PROFESSIONAL COMMITMENT 2. RESPECT FOR OTHERS 3. INTEGRITY 4. LOYALTY 5. SOLIDARITY

are the fundamental values uniting management and employees The Principles of Conduct and Action refer explicitly to the applicable conventions of the International Labour Organization, the International Charter on Human Rights and the OECD Guidelines on Multinational Enterprises with regard to the fight against corruption.

Saint-Gobain has been signed up to the United Nations Global Compact since 2003. This demonstrates the Group’s drive for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), which includes regular communication of its progress in areas covered by the Global Compact.

Implementation of the Group’s strategy involves policies and commitments that are applied by the Sectors, Activities or General Delegations.

14| SAINT-GOBAIN VIETNAM COMPANY PROFILE

1

1. RESPECT FOR THE LAW 2. CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT 3. WORKER HEALTH AND SAFETY 4. EMPLOYEE RIGHTS

guide the actions of all management and employees in the performance of their duties The most important of these are the “reference policies” which derive directly from the Principles of Conduct and Action and define the management principles applicable to all Saint-Gobain units and employees, as well as to subcontractors, in their work for the Group, and suppliers, under the Responsible Purchasing policy.

This desire to establish the Principles of Conduct and Action as a sign of belonging is illustrated by the objective set by the Group’s Board of Directors, of training all managers in the Principles in their first year with the Group.

Furthermore, the Principles of Conduct and Action are included in the welcome booklets or all Saint-Gobain employees and in the majority of employment contracts.

2.2 Commitments linked to the challenges of sustainable development Climate commitment The Paris Agreement ratified in 2016 creates a multidimensional framework for economies to implement carbon reduction policies. Recent Conferences of Parties (COPs) on climate change have marked a turning point, with improved participation in climate negotiations from non-government actors, including businesses. This momentum was confirmed at COP23 in Bonn (Germany) and strengthened by the “One Planet Summit” held in Paris in December 2017. Saint-Gobain took part in several side events at these summits.

Businesses have a key role to play in the search for solutions to climate change. Saint-Gobain is thus among the 1,200 non-state actors that signed the Paris Pledge for Action on Climate Change. More recently, Saint-Gobain was a joint signatory to the French Business Climate Pledge announced at a side event organized by MEDEF at the One Planet Summit.

Saint-Gobain also upholds the recommendations of the G20 Financial Stability Board’s Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). The action taken by Saint-Gobain is geared to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from its processes and its real estate portfolio and, for its clients and its Activities, to enhancing its products and services so as to improve energy efficiency.

Lastly, Saint-Gobain is committed to creating a low-carbon trajectory for the global construction industry and this is the reason it is a founder member of the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GABC) and sits on its steering committee. This alliance, launched by France and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) during the COP21, aims to bring states, local authorities, construction businesses and relevant associations together by means of a roadmap to smooth the transition to energy efficient buildings with low greenhouse gas emissions. At global level, less than half of the contributions to which governments have committed in order to achieve the objectives set by the Paris Agreement include measurements for either new or existing buildings.

Through its involvement in the GABC, Saint-Gobain

16| SAINT-GOBAIN VIETNAM COMPANY PROFILE

seeks to demonstrate to all countries that the technical solutions exist, particularly for improving energy efficiency, regardless of geography – hot countries, cold countries, dry or tropical climates – and that these solutions are affordable. The GABC held a symposium on construction at the COP23.

In the context of the GABC, Saint-Gobain is jointly managing efforts to define targets to reduce carbon intensity following a science-based approach for the construction industry.

Lastly, as part of the Global Climate Action Agenda, Saint-Gobain is a member of the alliance of companies for water and climate change. This initiative supports the actions of cities and watersheds involved in the sustainable management of water resources and adaptation to the consequences of climate change.

Developing the circular economy Saint-Gobain has two priorities for managing raw materials and waste: minimizing production waste and optimizing the recycled content in its products without affecting their performance As a producer, we are responsible for sustainable construction, coordinating management of resource use in a sustainable way with partners, regional stakeholders, and compliance. Local regulations are a major challenge for the Group.

Saint-Gobain is a contributor to the debate on the circular economy and has repeated its support for strong goals for the building sector. In France, the Group has been heavily involved in the AFEP circular economy work group, which prepared a report and recommendations presented at the COP22.

The construction sector generates several million metric tons of waste per year. Saint-Gobain is introducing projects to recover building or demolition waste, such as waste reduction at source with ecoinnovation, on-site sorting of waste, and recycling of the waste collected. The Group has contributed to a number of local initiatives to promote sustainable building.

RAW MATERIALS Gypsum, a sustainably extracted natural resource from quarries but also a by-product from power stations and a recycled waste from jobsites.

MANUFACTURING A manufacturing process at low temperatures, with low emissions and measured water consumptions.

LOGISTICS Local production in most countries we serve.

1 RECYCLING Gypsum is 100% recyclable, indefinitely.

END-OF-LIFE Easy to dismantle and recycle solutions.

INSTALLATION Flexible and lightweight solutions. Limited waste generation on jobsite.

BUILDING LIFETIME Comfortable, efficient and healthy buildings.

On the international level, Saint-Gobain joined at the end of 2017 the Factor 10 program of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development relative to the circular economy.

Contribution to the public debate on sustainable development

Saint-Gobain also belongs to the ETC (Energy Transition Commission), a group of 30 figures from the energy and climate community. PierreAndré de Chalendar is one of the Commissioners.

The aim of the ETC is to accelerate the move to a low-carbon energy system that enables strong economic growth while limiting global warming to levels well below 2°C. In May 2017, the ETC published

Digital technology is also revolutionizing the way that factories are organized and is producing a major, gradual change in production methods, by providing real-time access to a wealth of information on industrial facilities that are now interconnected and enabling extensive analysis of these data.

THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

Progress can thus be seen on two fronts: on the one hand, in the increase in productivity that results from reductions in stock, breakdowns, lost time and scrap material and on the other, in improved flexibility of production processes. Industry 4.0 opens the doors to mass customization, which relies in particular on locating assets as close as possible to end customers.

2. CREATING GREAT LIVING PLACES 2.1 Trends in the construction market 2.1.1. Global prospects for the construction market Saint-Gobain’s

largest

market,

construction,

offers considerable growth prospects worldwide on the 2030 horizon (1). Construction volume is thus expected to increase by 85% by 2030, to achieving a total of $15,500 billion worldwide. China, the United States and India alone will represent over half the market value. With an annual growth rate of +3.9% projected over 2015-2030, the construction market will exceed annual global GDP growth by more than one percentage point. Chinese construction, affected by the slowing of economy and aging population, is expected to see its growth slow down over the 2030 horizon, while keeping its place as global market leader, which it has held since 2010.

The Indian market is projected to grow twice as fast as China’s and is expected to overtake Japan in 2021 to become the world’s third-largest construction market. The need for infrastructure in emerging countries is also expected to continue growing, particularly in the African market.

In

industry is expected to recover after many years of crisis. The construction industry is also oriented to sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions and recirculating economies.

2.1.2. Urban development and sustainable construction The building sector is engaged in an in-depth process of transformation, fostered particularly by increasingly demanding thermal regulations that enable the Group to promote and deploy its line of energy efficiency solutions (insulation glazing and thermal insulation solutions), in a context where buildings must reduce CO2 emissions by 84 gigatons by 2050 to limit global warming to under +2°C. In recent years, a more global approach has emerged, incorporating not only energy aspects but also the other major challenges of sustainable development: sustainable construction. At each stage of its life cycle, a building designed, built or renovated and managed sustainably improves comfort and quality of life, limits the consumption of natural resources, reduces negative effects on the environment and increases value added for all stakeholders.

This trend towards more sustainable construction is already clearly visible and is in particular reflected by rapid growth in the number of certified buildings throughout the world. As such, between April 2014 and August 2016, the number of square meters certified under LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rose from 280 million to 1,500 million. This development is also beginning to be reflected in state regulations and policies.

This underlying trend offers the Group a major opportunity for differentiation based on its unique portfolio of innovative, sustainable solutions for the construction and renovation markets that promote

This novel approach to the design process, underpinned by intensive needs analysis, makes the user the central focus of the entire innovation process: several parameters, rather than just one, determine well-being, and therefore the health, efficiency and productivity of end customers. While comfort is an intuitive concept, it is often still difficult to quantify or grasp. Most of the time, a person is capable of giving a qualitative

The group started training on innovation culture in 2013. Today, innovation culture is mentioned in the training for managers and for the R&D team leaders.

Such an approach continues to be developed regularly to integrate and update new tools that help ensure the purpose of the operation.

To develop its solutions, Saint-Gobain draws on its innovation processes and its R&D teams organized around the concept of Building Science.

A program has been developed to go beyond this handful of observations.

2.2.2. Producing and distributing sustainable, comfortable solutions a. Product transparency The Group’s Industrial Activities linked to the construction markets have completed the life cycle analysis for their products and published environmental product declarations (EPDs) verified by third parties, throughout the world. The first EPDs for Insulation in Argentina and Flat Glass in India were published this year. The Group is the world’s first verified EPD supplier. A new market demand is emerging, coming from across the Atlantic in particular (via the development of version 4 of the LEED certification), but also under the impact of the development of the circular economy: transparency around the ingredients contained in Construction Products and the hazards associated with these

c.

STONE TEXTURE The surface is concaved as a combination of thousands of stones lying on the surface. The papule texture helps the reflective surface to create iridescent beauty, and luxury.

PINE TEXTURE It is one of the most favored textures because of the natural arrangement of twisted wood textures. The texture effect is harmonious between dark and light, creating youthful, warm, modern atmosphere.

OAK TEXTURE Coarse textures, gliding lightly as flowing water, despite not having round textures , still bring a very real sense of “Wood” to atmosphere.

ASH TEXTURE Obvious and large texture, big wood fiber, not following any the rules, wavy end-texture. Round rings create the floral patterns not too complicated to bring atmosphere a rustic, rudimentary beauty.

FLAT SCRATCHED TEXTURE Straight and small textures, interrupted as raindrops drop creating light and comfortable effect, suitable for those who like simplicity and subtlety.
