In 2022, Saint-Gobain once again
demonstrated the soundness of the choices
made in recent years in adapting its model
and making it more agile, by giving full place
to a corporate culture based on autonomy,
initiative and collaboration. Its inclusive
approach and the attention paid by the
Group to all its stakeholders - customers,
partners, employees, local communities and
shareholders - are essential for its success
and future development. The very successful
implementation of Saint-Gobain's strategy
is all the more remarkable given that it
has taken place in a context of persistent
geopolitical, economic, financial and energy
volatility, and against the backdrop of
environmental emergency. The Group is
fully committed to contributing, over the
long term, to a low-carbon economy, a
less resource-intensive performance and a
healthier, fairer and more inclusive world.
Its unique assets, the relevance of its offer,
and the continuous adaptation of its scope
of activity, are levers that enable us to
achieve these objectives and contribute
to a better future. This new edition of our
integrated annual report highlights this goal
of creating shared, sustainable and profitable
value with our stakeholders.

The excellent performance achieved by Saint-
Gobain in 2022 reflects the strength of our
strategic positioning as a worldwide leader
in sustainable construction. It demonstrates
our resilience, thanks to our unique offering
of solutions - notably in promising renovation
markets and thanks to the efficiency of our
country organizations, which adapt quickly to
changes in their local markets. I would like to
congratulate all our teams for their outstanding
commitment and work, which enabled us to
achieve these results. In a difficult environment,
they continue to serve and support our
customers in the best possible way, while
deploying the initiatives of our "Grow & Impact"
plan.
Saint-Gobain's model is based on a continuous
search for growth that is both profitable
and sustainable. The Group continues to
make significant progress on its long-term
ESG (environmental, social and governance)
objectives. Its goal is to achieve carbon
neutrality by 2050 and thus effectively combat
climate change. Thanks to its unique position
in the value chain, its determined efforts
to minimize the impact of its operations,
and the positive effects of the solutions it
provides to its customers, Saint-Gobain is thus
ideally placed to actively contribute to the
decarbonization of construction and industry.
This fully integrated model is the Group's
strength and will form the basis of its growth
for the coming years.
