Founded in 1665 with a patent from Louis XIV, Saint-Gobain’s long, proud history gives it confidence to reinvent the future.

This global HQ acts as a showcase for the group’s products and solutions while creating a comfortable and versatile workspace for thousands of international employees.

With the global population having surpassed eight million and continuing to rise rapidly, demand for new construction has never been greater. Matching that ambition with sustainable solutions that cater to a range of tastes, standards and budgets requires a dynamic, proactive outlook.

While new construction requires quick, modular designs, more established urban areas must contend with built heritage. However, by taking a holistic approach to all aspects of retro-fitting and renovation, Saint-Gobain remains steadfast in its belief that ‘everything can be transformed’.

Saint-Gobain might trade in sustainable construction solutions but people are at the heart of every decision that the company makes – whether that’s encouraging the 160,000 employees tasked with driving innovation or fulfilling the needs of the countless customers around the globe.

Planning for the future and hitting sustainability targets are essential to improve quality of life. However, the hard work begins not in 2050 but now. Saint-Gobain is taking a proactive approach to the circular economy, implementing real-world solutions today.
