Notes

Their level of commitment in this domain is one of the deciding factors in selecting
suppliers and Saint-Gobain will make sure that suppliers fully understand the
Charters contents.
This Charter is an integral part of the documentation handed out by the SaintGobain in support of its consultations and is intended to be included in the contractual documents.
The Purchasing Departments of Saint-Gobain Group entities may be led, under
certain circumstances, to take the measures they deem necessary to ensure full
compliance with the Charter, notably by sending out questionnaires or conducting or
having conducted specific audits at the suppliers and sub-contractors premises.
The Saint-Gobain Group expects its suppliers and sub-contractors to be mindful
that their own suppliers and sub-contractors enable them to fully support the principles detailed in this Charter.

Suppliers and subcontractors implement policies

on managing and improving their manufacturing
processes, which are designed to limit their
environmental footprint throughout the life cycle
of the products they supply.
In particular, they strive in their respective
domains to:
> reduce their impact on ecosystems and biodiversity,
> optimise consumption of natural resources and
energy,
> reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, pollutants
and volatile organic compounds,
> reduce quantities of waste released and develop
recycling and recovery solutions.
They identify and quantify the significant
environmental aspects of their activities, products
and services. They ensure a traceability of raw
materials, components and materials necessary
for the provision of services or property.
Suppliers shall be duty-bound to Saint-Gobain
to disclose any product information required
for the Groups Environmental policy to be applied,
especially in terms of Carbon Footprint and Life Cycle
Assessment.
Suppliers and subcontractors encourage the
development and distribution
of environmentally-friendly technologies and work
towards achieving the targets listed above.
