People matter to us, and we try to show that every day. As part of this, our aim is to create an enterprising and innovative working environment, where you have the opportunity to learn new skills, and develop your career. We want to be a business that you’ll be proud to work for; one that is committed to improving people’s daily life, being responsible, doing the right thing, and to preserving the environment by embedding sustainability in all our businesses.
We’re delighted that you may be considering a career at Saint-Gobain, but as well as knowing what we commit to as an employer, it is very important that you understand how we like to work, and therefore what is expected of you as an employee. You’ve probably heard it before, but we really do place a strong emphasis on hiring people that align well with these core principles and attitudes.
Our Principles of Conduct and Action underpin everything we do; they’re the foundation of how we do business responsibly. Building upon these principles, the Saint-Gobain Attitudes set a standard in the way we want to work in order to make a reality of our ambition; ‘to help create great living places and improve daily life’.
At Saint-Gobain, we are committed to ensuring that our activities, our employees and our partners are jointly involved in building a more sustainable and equitable world. As we do this, where ever we are in the world, we operate with a set of strong shared values for the common good.
Pierre-Andre de Chalendar – Chairman, Saint-Gobain
We are committed to ensuring our business has a positive impact on communities and the environment to create a more sustainable world. We closely manage environmental impact of our operations and are committed to running our business on net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Our business also has a considerable role to play in supporting the Irish economy to decarbonise as our products and solutions contribute significantly to how we build commercial and residential properties.

Diversity in all its forms is embraced at Saint-Gobain and we are committed to giving equal opportunities, support and encouragement to all groups in society. We recognise the need to create more diverse teams, as we still have a way to go to be as diverse a business as we want to be.
Saint Gobain’s Diversity and Inclusion Committee is to create and promote a welcoming and safe environment, embedding a fair and inclusive culture.
Learn MoreOur Attitudes reflect how we like to work.
We ask all of our employees to put five attitudes into practice in everything that they do, to help make our shared ambition a reality.
Our five Principles of Conduct and four Principles of Action are a basic code of conduct for our employees, management and businesses.
Adherence to the Principles is a basic and mandatory part of being an employee or a business within Saint-Gobain.
Discover MoreOur business operates in communities across Ireland. We want to be known as a responsible and good neighbour, committed to building long term positive relationships with communities.
Our priorities for our community activity are based around: creating great places for people to live, creating and improving skills, especially for young people and helping support disadvantaged groups.
We support a wide range of community groups directly, and encourage colleagues to get actively involved in local groups.
Our business is an active supporter of charities across Ireland.
We do this in three main ways: by direct financial support for a charity partner, by donating materials or financial support to local community groups close to our operations and through encouraging our colleagues to use their skills, experience and expertise to support local charities.
