2012 was a difficult year for the global economy

We responded quickly to the worsening economic

environment by implementing a new cost reduction

plan and tighter cash management while making

carefully selected investments in line with our

strategic priorities We also confirmed our decision

to refocus on the habitat and construction markets

during the year with the announced sale of Verallia

North America under good terms

In this uncertain climate Saint-Gobain has shown

once again that it is a solid dynamic group I would

like to take this opportunity to thank all of our teams

for mobilizing their forces to keep our development

on track Our sustainable habitat strategy was

enhanced during the year with tangible results such

as the Multi-Comfort program which was deployed

in several countries and serves as a showcase

of our expertise

Each year we are able to offer our customers a larger

number of new products and solutions thanks

to our culture of operating excellence and innovation

capabilities In 2012 we successfully brought

to market new products including Climacoat glass

from Sekurit Novelio paintable wall coverings

from Adfors and Duorsquotech plasterboard for hospitals

Saint-Gobainrsquos ambition is driven by the unique

diversity of its businesses which are largely

complementary The resulting synergy

and broad range of products and solutions sets us

apart from the competition Differentiation

is a long-term competitive challenge for our Group

and to meet this challenge we are creating high

value-added cross-business solutions offering

increasingly innovative services and strengthening

our local positions by developing Saint-Gobainrsquos

brands and image

Each year Saint-Gobain further increases its

commitment to sustainable development in terms

of protecting the environment developing

our businesses and people and strengthening

our ties with local communities Being a responsible

player is not just a slogan at Saint-Gobain

it is something we work hard at every day

For this reason in a persistently uncertain global

economic environment we will maintain our strategic

direction more than ever in 2013 while continuing

to adapt to the economic situation

THE REFERENCE

AND CONSTRUCTION MARKETSIN SUSTAINABLE HABITAT

Saint-Gobain the world leader in the habitat and construction

markets designs manufactures and distributes building materials

providing innovative solutions to the challenges of growth energy

efficiency and environmental protection

In the face of global warming and

dwindling natural resources new

efforts are required notably in the

building industry which is among the

most significant contributors to

negative environmental impacts

Designing products and solutions that

facilitate sustainable building and

help to reduce the construction

industryrsquos environmental footprint

is at the heart of Saint-Gobainrsquos

sustainable habitat strategy This is a

responsibility for the teams as well

as a major source of motivation The

construction industry alone accounts

for nearly 40 of energy

consumption and 38 of greenhouse

gas emissions in industrialized

nations Its impact is considerable on

both water use and waste

representing 12 of drinking water

consumed and 40 of solid waste in

volume A massive commitment from

Saint-Gobain and all other industry

players is urgently needed

Saint-Gobainrsquos ambition is to be the

reference in the sustainable habitat

and construction markets This means

developing high value-added

construction and renovation solutions

for professional customers to ensure

that buildings are energy-efficient

comfortable healthy and esthetically

superior while at the same time

protecting natural resources

This strategy is being deployed

across all markets taking into

account their specific characteristics

bull in mature economies the

approaching shortage of fossil fuels

and the pressing need to cut CO2

emissions have prompted countries

to tighten thermal performance and

energy efficiency requirements in the

building sector Regulations are calling

for greater energy efficiency not

only in new buildings but also in

renovation projects

bull in fast-growing economies markets

are driven by rapidly accelerating

urban development and exponential

growth in demand for housing and

offices

All of these developments represent

attractive opportunities for

Saint-Gobain which offers easy-to-

use solutions aligned with local needs

and practices in every segment of

the construction market from homes

to offices and from newbuilding

to renovation projects

Per capita potential market

WORLDWIDE PRESENCE

By proposing solutions for markets at all stages of development

Saint-Gobain captures opportunities in expanding segments

of both mature and fast-growing markets

Saint-Gobainrsquos markets in mature

countries are driven by energy

performance requirements and

growing demand for comfort in

homes and buildings These markets

are expanding more rapidly than

underlying construction and

renovation volumes because of more

stringent building energy

performance standards which are

supporting demand for sustainable

innovative building solutions The

most recent regulations adopted

in Western Europe in particular

are leading to a significant increase

in the use of large window surfaces

in new buildings and encouraging

the installation of ever more efficient

insulation

Saint-Gobainrsquos capital expenditure

choices and acquisitions reflect these

trends In 2012 the Group opened a

new plant in North Carolina

manufacturing environmentally

friendly plasterboard to accompany

the recovery of the US building

ACCELERATED EXPANSION IN ASIA AND FAST-GROWING MARKETS

In fast-growing markets Saint-Gobain

responds to the increasing demand

for equipment and new residential

office and other buildings The habitat

and construction markets in these

countries offer substantial growth

potential due to urban development

and exponentially rising

infrastructure needs Like in

mature markets demand for high

value-added construction solutions

is tending to increase faster than

per capita wealth and construction

volumes

Saint-Gobain is strengthening its

presence in all fast-growing regions

For example the Group started up a

new glass production line (float) in

Brazil and finished building two

additional float lines in Colombia and

India Sekurit is pursuing its

development in countries with

fast-growing automotive markets

notably in China Mexico Morocco

and Poland In Construction Products

the Group invested in Industrial

Mortars in Brazil and Serbia (with the

acquisition of Karbon) and in Gypsum

in Russia and China In China

Saint-Gobain also opened an

abrasives production line and a new

performance plastics plant Lastly

Verallia started up a new furnace

in Argentina

The Group is continuing to expand

its presence in these markets with

a priority focus on enhancing

profitability and developing strategic

positions

Numerous investments for Industrial Mortars Industrial Mortars has opened several new facilities in Ibiporatilde

and Pacatuba Brazil Selangor Malaysia Nakhonsrithamarat

Thailand Port Elizabeth South Africa Polevskoy Russia

Prostejov Czech Republic and Adana Turkey

The Activity also opened three new sites in Europe in Riksten

Sweden Oitti Finland and Chacircteau-Theacutebaud France

BUILDING THE HABITAT SOLUTIONS

OF THE FUTURE

Saint-Gobain develops solutions that

make buildings more energy-efficient

and help to protect the planet

Therefore the Group continues to

invest heavily in research and

development Most of its solutions

including glass products mineral

wool insulation plasterboard

exterior wall and floor coating

mortars already help to make

buildings more energy-efficient and

will further contribute to their

performance in the future

The buildings of the future will offer

all types of comfort People would

like to be able to make themselves at

home in a safe comfortable healthy

place that protects them from the

aggressions of the outside world

Saint-Gobain offers esthetic solutions

such as glazing colored mortar and

paintable wall coverings as well as

solutions to improve air quality

lighting management and acoustic

comfort (ceilings and plasterboard)

Lastly the buildings of the future will

be constructed in partnership with all

construction industry players A new

generation of contractors capable of

using energy-efficient construction

techniques will have to be trained

Saint-Gobain is committed to helping

customers and partners embrace

these green principles by leveraging

the power of its distribution

networks In line with this

commitment the Group pursued its

broad-based program to train

builders in the latest energy-saving

techniques and solutions in 2012

Saint-Gobain plays a leading role in the revolution currently

under way in the habitat and construction sector

This is the amount of energy the Saint-Gobain

To demonstrate the effectiveness of these solutions and further develop

research and innovation numerous Group businesses joined forces to

promote the Multi-Comfort concept in 15 countries With this concept

Saint-Gobain is proposing a new way of making buildings It establishes

a common frame of reference taking into account each countryrsquos specific

Making buildings more energy-

efficient and promoting the use

of renewable energies is at the heart

of the Grouprsquos strategy which

focuses on inventing and producing

materials for the buildings

of the future Innovation is a core

building block of this strategy

The challenge at Saint-Gobain is

to develop products and solutions

that significantly reduce

the environmental impact of the

buildings and infrastructure

that use them At different levels

this is the objective of all of

the Grouprsquos major strategic RampD

programs from thermal and solar

photovoltaics and fuel cells to active

DEVELOPING A NEW CULTURE OF ECO-INNOVATION As part of a rigorous improvement

approach Saint-Gobain has set

the goal of conducting life cycle

assessments for all its building

industry product ranges by 2013

Once the environmental footprint

has been measured the Group

intends to reduce the environmental

impact of these products while

creating value This is the dual

objective of Saint-Gobainrsquos

eco-innovation strategy

MORE EFFICIENT AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PROCESSESImproving the environmental impact

of industrial processes notably

by reducing energy water and

raw materials use has been a key

concern at Saint-Gobain for many

years

A sustained effort to enhance the Grouprsquos competitiveness

Innovation is the Grouprsquos most effective

asset for differentiation in an increasingly

competitive industry Reducing time

to market is a very important pathway

to greater competitiveness Several

measures were taken in 2012 to achieve

these goals with already visible results

2012 was a difficult year for the global economy

We responded quickly to the worsening economic

environment by implementing a new cost reduction

plan and tighter cash management while making

carefully selected investments in line with our

strategic priorities We also confirmed our decision

to refocus on the habitat and construction markets

during the year with the announced sale of Verallia

North America under good terms

In this uncertain climate Saint-Gobain has shown

once again that it is a solid dynamic group I would

like to take this opportunity to thank all of our teams

for mobilizing their forces to keep our development

on track Our sustainable habitat strategy was

enhanced during the year with tangible results such

as the Multi-Comfort program which was deployed

in several countries and serves as a showcase

of our expertise

Each year we are able to offer our customers a larger

number of new products and solutions thanks

to our culture of operating excellence and innovation

capabilities In 2012 we successfully brought

to market new products including Climacoat glass

from Sekurit Novelio paintable wall coverings

from Adfors and Duorsquotech plasterboard for hospitals

Saint-Gobainrsquos ambition is driven by the unique

diversity of its businesses which are largely

complementary The resulting synergy

and broad range of products and solutions sets us

apart from the competition Differentiation

is a long-term competitive challenge for our Group

and to meet this challenge we are creating high

value-added cross-business solutions offering

increasingly innovative services and strengthening

our local positions by developing Saint-Gobainrsquos

brands and image

Each year Saint-Gobain further increases its

commitment to sustainable development in terms

of protecting the environment developing

our businesses and people and strengthening

our ties with local communities Being a responsible

player is not just a slogan at Saint-Gobain

it is something we work hard at every day

For this reason in a persistently uncertain global

economic environment we will maintain our strategic

direction more than ever in 2013 while continuing

to adapt to the economic situation

THE REFERENCE

AND CONSTRUCTION MARKETSIN SUSTAINABLE HABITAT

Saint-Gobain the world leader in the habitat and construction

markets designs manufactures and distributes building materials

providing innovative solutions to the challenges of growth energy

efficiency and environmental protection

In the face of global warming and

dwindling natural resources new

efforts are required notably in the

building industry which is among the

most significant contributors to

negative environmental impacts

Designing products and solutions that

facilitate sustainable building and

help to reduce the construction

industryrsquos environmental footprint

is at the heart of Saint-Gobainrsquos

sustainable habitat strategy This is a

responsibility for the teams as well

as a major source of motivation The

construction industry alone accounts

for nearly 40 of energy

consumption and 38 of greenhouse

gas emissions in industrialized

nations Its impact is considerable on

both water use and waste

representing 12 of drinking water

consumed and 40 of solid waste in

volume A massive commitment from

Saint-Gobain and all other industry

players is urgently needed

Saint-Gobainrsquos ambition is to be the

reference in the sustainable habitat

and construction markets This means

developing high value-added

construction and renovation solutions

for professional customers to ensure

that buildings are energy-efficient

comfortable healthy and esthetically

superior while at the same time

protecting natural resources

This strategy is being deployed

across all markets taking into

account their specific characteristics

bull in mature economies the

approaching shortage of fossil fuels

and the pressing need to cut CO2

emissions have prompted countries

to tighten thermal performance and

energy efficiency requirements in the

building sector Regulations are calling

for greater energy efficiency not

only in new buildings but also in

renovation projects

bull in fast-growing economies markets

are driven by rapidly accelerating

urban development and exponential

growth in demand for housing and

offices

All of these developments represent

attractive opportunities for

Saint-Gobain which offers easy-to-

use solutions aligned with local needs

and practices in every segment of

the construction market from homes

to offices and from newbuilding

to renovation projects

Per capita potential market

WORLDWIDE PRESENCE

By proposing solutions for markets at all stages of development

Saint-Gobain captures opportunities in expanding segments

of both mature and fast-growing markets

Saint-Gobainrsquos markets in mature

countries are driven by energy

performance requirements and

growing demand for comfort in

homes and buildings These markets

are expanding more rapidly than

underlying construction and

renovation volumes because of more

stringent building energy

performance standards which are

supporting demand for sustainable

innovative building solutions The

most recent regulations adopted

in Western Europe in particular

are leading to a significant increase

in the use of large window surfaces

in new buildings and encouraging

the installation of ever more efficient

insulation

Saint-Gobainrsquos capital expenditure

choices and acquisitions reflect these

trends In 2012 the Group opened a

new plant in North Carolina

manufacturing environmentally

friendly plasterboard to accompany

the recovery of the US building

ACCELERATED EXPANSION IN ASIA AND FAST-GROWING MARKETS

In fast-growing markets Saint-Gobain

responds to the increasing demand

for equipment and new residential

office and other buildings The habitat

and construction markets in these

countries offer substantial growth

potential due to urban development

and exponentially rising

infrastructure needs Like in

mature markets demand for high

value-added construction solutions

is tending to increase faster than

per capita wealth and construction

volumes

Saint-Gobain is strengthening its

presence in all fast-growing regions

For example the Group started up a

new glass production line (float) in

Brazil and finished building two

additional float lines in Colombia and

India Sekurit is pursuing its

development in countries with

fast-growing automotive markets

notably in China Mexico Morocco

and Poland In Construction Products

the Group invested in Industrial

Mortars in Brazil and Serbia (with the

acquisition of Karbon) and in Gypsum

in Russia and China In China

Saint-Gobain also opened an

abrasives production line and a new

performance plastics plant Lastly

Verallia started up a new furnace

in Argentina

The Group is continuing to expand

its presence in these markets with

a priority focus on enhancing

profitability and developing strategic

positions

Numerous investments for Industrial Mortars Industrial Mortars has opened several new facilities in Ibiporatilde

and Pacatuba Brazil Selangor Malaysia Nakhonsrithamarat

Thailand Port Elizabeth South Africa Polevskoy Russia

Prostejov Czech Republic and Adana Turkey

The Activity also opened three new sites in Europe in Riksten

Sweden Oitti Finland and Chacircteau-Theacutebaud France

BUILDING THE HABITAT SOLUTIONS

OF THE FUTURE

Saint-Gobain develops solutions that

make buildings more energy-efficient

and help to protect the planet

Therefore the Group continues to

invest heavily in research and

development Most of its solutions

including glass products mineral

wool insulation plasterboard

exterior wall and floor coating

mortars already help to make

buildings more energy-efficient and

will further contribute to their

performance in the future

The buildings of the future will offer

all types of comfort People would

like to be able to make themselves at

home in a safe comfortable healthy

place that protects them from the

aggressions of the outside world

Saint-Gobain offers esthetic solutions

such as glazing colored mortar and

paintable wall coverings as well as

solutions to improve air quality

lighting management and acoustic

comfort (ceilings and plasterboard)

Lastly the buildings of the future will

be constructed in partnership with all

construction industry players A new

generation of contractors capable of

using energy-efficient construction

techniques will have to be trained

Saint-Gobain is committed to helping

customers and partners embrace

these green principles by leveraging

the power of its distribution

networks In line with this

commitment the Group pursued its

broad-based program to train

builders in the latest energy-saving

techniques and solutions in 2012

Saint-Gobain plays a leading role in the revolution currently

under way in the habitat and construction sector

This is the amount of energy the Saint-Gobain

has produced one year after it was built

STRATEGY

Saint-Gobain does not construct buildings but equips them with

differentiating high value-added solutions notably to enhance comfort

To demonstrate the effectiveness of these solutions and further develop

research and innovation numerous Group businesses joined forces to

promote the Multi-Comfort concept in 15 countries With this concept

Saint-Gobain is proposing a new way of making buildings It establishes

a common frame of reference taking into account each countryrsquos specific

features while anticipating new regulations Designed to minimize

a buildings environmental impacts the Multi-Comfort scorecard focuses

STRATEGY

INNOVATIVE COMPANIESIN THE WORLD

Making buildings more energy-

efficient and promoting the use

of renewable energies is at the heart

of the Grouprsquos strategy which

focuses on inventing and producing

materials for the buildings

of the future Innovation is a core

building block of this strategy

The challenge at Saint-Gobain is

to develop products and solutions

that significantly reduce

the environmental impact of the

buildings and infrastructure

that use them At different levels

this is the objective of all of

the Grouprsquos major strategic RampD

programs from thermal and solar

photovoltaics and fuel cells to active

glass high-performance insulation

external wall insulation systems

flexible functional substrates

lighting and process energy

efficiency

DEVELOPING A NEW CULTURE OF ECO-INNOVATION As part of a rigorous improvement

approach Saint-Gobain has set

the goal of conducting life cycle

assessments for all its building

industry product ranges by 2013

Once the environmental footprint

has been measured the Group

intends to reduce the environmental

impact of these products while

creating value This is the dual

objective of Saint-Gobainrsquos

eco-innovation strategy

MORE EFFICIENT AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PROCESSESImproving the environmental impact

of industrial processes notably

by reducing energy water and

raw materials use has been a key

concern at Saint-Gobain for many

years

A sustained effort to enhance the Grouprsquos competitiveness

Innovation is the Grouprsquos most effective

asset for differentiation in an increasingly

competitive industry Reducing time

to market is a very important pathway

to greater competitiveness Several

measures were taken in 2012 to achieve

these goals with already visible results

5SAINT-GOBAIN 2012 Financial Year bull 4

2012 was a difficult year for the global economy

We responded quickly to the worsening economic

environment by implementing a new cost reduction

plan and tighter cash management while making

carefully selected investments in line with our

strategic priorities We also confirmed our decision

to refocus on the habitat and construction markets

during the year with the announced sale of Verallia

North America under good terms

In this uncertain climate Saint-Gobain has shown

once again that it is a solid dynamic group I would

like to take this opportunity to thank all of our teams

for mobilizing their forces to keep our development

on track Our sustainable habitat strategy was

enhanced during the year with tangible results such

as the Multi-Comfort program which was deployed

in several countries and serves as a showcase

of our expertise

Each year we are able to offer our customers a larger

number of new products and solutions thanks

to our culture of operating excellence and innovation

capabilities In 2012 we successfully brought

to market new products including Climacoat glass

from Sekurit Novelio paintable wall coverings

from Adfors and Duorsquotech plasterboard for hospitals

Saint-Gobainrsquos ambition is driven by the unique

diversity of its businesses which are largely

complementary The resulting synergy

and broad range of products and solutions sets us

apart from the competition Differentiation

is a long-term competitive challenge for our Group

and to meet this challenge we are creating high

value-added cross-business solutions offering

increasingly innovative services and strengthening

our local positions by developing Saint-Gobainrsquos

brands and image

Each year Saint-Gobain further increases its

commitment to sustainable development in terms

of protecting the environment developing

our businesses and people and strengthening

our ties with local communities Being a responsible

player is not just a slogan at Saint-Gobain

it is something we work hard at every day

For this reason in a persistently uncertain global

economic environment we will maintain our strategic

direction more than ever in 2013 while continuing

to adapt to the economic situation

Pierre-Andreacute de Chalendar Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER PIERRE-ANDREacute DE CHALENDAR

Our sustainable habitat strategy was enhanced

during the year with tangible results rdquo rdquo

THE REFERENCE

AND CONSTRUCTION MARKETSIN SUSTAINABLE HABITAT

Saint-Gobain the world leader in the habitat and construction

markets designs manufactures and distributes building materials

providing innovative solutions to the challenges of growth energy

efficiency and environmental protection

In the face of global warming and

dwindling natural resources new

efforts are required notably in the

building industry which is among the

most significant contributors to

negative environmental impacts

Designing products and solutions that

facilitate sustainable building and

help to reduce the construction

industryrsquos environmental footprint

is at the heart of Saint-Gobainrsquos

sustainable habitat strategy This is a

responsibility for the teams as well

as a major source of motivation The

construction industry alone accounts

for nearly 40 of energy

consumption and 38 of greenhouse

gas emissions in industrialized

nations Its impact is considerable on

both water use and waste

representing 12 of drinking water

consumed and 40 of solid waste in

volume A massive commitment from

Saint-Gobain and all other industry

players is urgently needed

Saint-Gobainrsquos ambition is to be the

reference in the sustainable habitat

and construction markets This means

developing high value-added

construction and renovation solutions

for professional customers to ensure

that buildings are energy-efficient

comfortable healthy and esthetically

superior while at the same time

protecting natural resources

This strategy is being deployed

across all markets taking into

account their specific characteristics

bull in mature economies the

approaching shortage of fossil fuels

and the pressing need to cut CO2

emissions have prompted countries

to tighten thermal performance and

energy efficiency requirements in the

building sector Regulations are calling

for greater energy efficiency not

only in new buildings but also in

renovation projects

bull in fast-growing economies markets

are driven by rapidly accelerating

urban development and exponential

growth in demand for housing and

offices

All of these developments represent

attractive opportunities for

Saint-Gobain which offers easy-to-

use solutions aligned with local needs

and practices in every segment of

the construction market from homes

to offices and from newbuilding

to renovation projects

WORLDWIDE PRESENCE

By proposing solutions for markets at all stages of development

Saint-Gobain captures opportunities in expanding segments

of both mature and fast-growing markets

Saint-Gobainrsquos markets in mature

countries are driven by energy

performance requirements and

growing demand for comfort in

homes and buildings These markets

are expanding more rapidly than

underlying construction and

renovation volumes because of more

stringent building energy

performance standards which are

supporting demand for sustainable

innovative building solutions The

most recent regulations adopted

in Western Europe in particular

are leading to a significant increase

in the use of large window surfaces

in new buildings and encouraging

the installation of ever more efficient

insulation

Saint-Gobainrsquos capital expenditure

choices and acquisitions reflect these

trends In 2012 the Group opened a

new plant in North Carolina

friendly plasterboard to accompany

the recovery of the US building

ACCELERATED EXPANSION IN ASIA AND FAST-GROWING MARKETS

In fast-growing markets Saint-Gobain

responds to the increasing demand

for equipment and new residential

office and other buildings The habitat

and construction markets in these

countries offer substantial growth

potential due to urban development

and exponentially rising

infrastructure needs Like in

mature markets demand for high

value-added construction solutions

is tending to increase faster than

per capita wealth and construction

volumes

Saint-Gobain is strengthening its

presence in all fast-growing regions

For example the Group started up a

new glass production line (float) in

Brazil and finished building two

additional float lines in Colombia and

India Sekurit is pursuing its

development in countries with

fast-growing automotive markets

notably in China Mexico Morocco

and Poland In Construction Products

the Group invested in Industrial

Mortars in Brazil and Serbia (with the

acquisition of Karbon) and in Gypsum

in Russia and China In China

Saint-Gobain also opened an

abrasives production line and a new

performance plastics plant Lastly

Verallia started up a new furnace

in Argentina

The Group is continuing to expand

its presence in these markets with

a priority focus on enhancing

profitability and developing strategic

positions

Numerous investments for Industrial Mortars Industrial Mortars has opened several new facilities in Ibiporatilde

and Pacatuba Brazil Selangor Malaysia Nakhonsrithamarat

BUILDING THE HABITAT SOLUTIONS

OF THE FUTURE

Saint-Gobain develops solutions that

make buildings more energy-efficient

and help to protect the planet

Therefore the Group continues to

invest heavily in research and

development Most of its solutions

including glass products mineral

wool insulation plasterboard

exterior wall and floor coating

mortars already help to make

buildings more energy-efficient and

will further contribute to their

performance in the future

The buildings of the future will offer

all types of comfort People would

like to be able to make themselves at

home in a safe comfortable healthy

place that protects them from the

aggressions of the outside world

Saint-Gobain offers esthetic solutions

such as glazing colored mortar and

paintable wall coverings as well as

solutions to improve air quality

lighting management and acoustic

comfort (ceilings and plasterboard)

Lastly the buildings of the future will

be constructed in partnership with all

construction industry players A new

generation of contractors capable of

using energy-efficient construction

techniques will have to be trained

Saint-Gobain is committed to helping

customers and partners embrace

these green principles by leveraging

the power of its distribution

networks In line with this

commitment the Group pursued its

broad-based program to train

builders in the latest energy-saving

techniques and solutions in 2012

Saint-Gobain plays a leading role in the revolution currently

under way in the habitat and construction sector

This is the amount of energy the Saint-Gobain

5SAINT-GOBAIN 2012 Financial Year bull 4

2012 was a difficult year for the global economy

We responded quickly to the worsening economic

environment by implementing a new cost reduction

plan and tighter cash management while making

carefully selected investments in line with our

strategic priorities We also confirmed our decision

to refocus on the habitat and construction markets

during the year with the announced sale of Verallia

North America under good terms

In this uncertain climate Saint-Gobain has shown

once again that it is a solid dynamic group I would

like to take this opportunity to thank all of our teams

for mobilizing their forces to keep our development

on track Our sustainable habitat strategy was

enhanced during the year with tangible results such

as the Multi-Comfort program which was deployed

in several countries and serves as a showcase

of our expertise

Each year we are able to offer our customers a larger

number of new products and solutions thanks

to our culture of operating excellence and innovation

capabilities In 2012 we successfully brought

to market new products including Climacoat glass

from Sekurit Novelio paintable wall coverings

from Adfors and Duorsquotech plasterboard for hospitals

Saint-Gobainrsquos ambition is driven by the unique

diversity of its businesses which are largely

complementary The resulting synergy

and broad range of products and solutions sets us

apart from the competition Differentiation

is a long-term competitive challenge for our Group

and to meet this challenge we are creating high

value-added cross-business solutions offering

increasingly innovative services and strengthening

our local positions by developing Saint-Gobainrsquos

brands and image

Each year Saint-Gobain further increases its

commitment to sustainable development in terms

of protecting the environment developing

our businesses and people and strengthening

our ties with local communities Being a responsible

player is not just a slogan at Saint-Gobain

it is something we work hard at every day

For this reason in a persistently uncertain global

economic environment we will maintain our strategic

direction more than ever in 2013 while continuing

to adapt to the economic situation

THE REFERENCE

AND CONSTRUCTION MARKETSIN SUSTAINABLE HABITAT

Saint-Gobain the world leader in the habitat and construction

markets designs manufactures and distributes building materials

providing innovative solutions to the challenges of growth energy

efficiency and environmental protection

In the face of global warming and

dwindling natural resources new

efforts are required notably in the

building industry which is among the

most significant contributors to

negative environmental impacts

Designing products and solutions that

facilitate sustainable building and

help to reduce the construction

industryrsquos environmental footprint

is at the heart of Saint-Gobainrsquos

sustainable habitat strategy This is a

responsibility for the teams as well

as a major source of motivation The

construction industry alone accounts

for nearly 40 of energy

consumption and 38 of greenhouse

gas emissions in industrialized

nations Its impact is considerable on

both water use and waste

representing 12 of drinking water

consumed and 40 of solid waste in

volume A massive commitment from

Saint-Gobain and all other industry

players is urgently needed

Saint-Gobainrsquos ambition is to be the

reference in the sustainable habitat

and construction markets This means

developing high value-added

construction and renovation solutions

for professional customers to ensure

that buildings are energy-efficient

comfortable healthy and esthetically

superior while at the same time

protecting natural resources

This strategy is being deployed

across all markets taking into

account their specific characteristics

bull in mature economies the

approaching shortage of fossil fuels

and the pressing need to cut CO2

emissions have prompted countries

to tighten thermal performance and

energy efficiency requirements in the

building sector Regulations are calling

for greater energy efficiency not

only in new buildings but also in

renovation projects

bull in fast-growing economies markets

are driven by rapidly accelerating

urban development and exponential

growth in demand for housing and

offices

All of these developments represent

attractive opportunities for

Saint-Gobain which offers easy-to-

use solutions aligned with local needs

and practices in every segment of

the construction market from homes

to offices and from newbuilding

WORLDWIDE PRESENCE

By proposing solutions for markets at all stages of development

Saint-Gobain captures opportunities in expanding segments

of both mature and fast-growing markets

Saint-Gobainrsquos markets in mature

countries are driven by energy

performance requirements and

growing demand for comfort in

homes and buildings These markets

are expanding more rapidly than

underlying construction and

renovation volumes because of more

stringent building energy

performance standards which are

supporting demand for sustainable

innovative building solutions The

most recent regulations adopted

in Western Europe in particular

are leading to a significant increase

in the use of large window surfaces

in new buildings and encouraging

the installation of ever more efficient

insulation

Saint-Gobainrsquos capital expenditure

choices and acquisitions reflect these

trends In 2012 the Group opened a

new plant in North Carolina

friendly plasterboard to accompany

the recovery of the US building

ACCELERATED EXPANSION IN ASIA AND FAST-GROWING MARKETS

In fast-growing markets Saint-Gobain

responds to the increasing demand

for equipment and new residential

office and other buildings The habitat

and construction markets in these

countries offer substantial growth

potential due to urban development

and exponentially rising

infrastructure needs Like in

mature markets demand for high

value-added construction solutions

is tending to increase faster than

per capita wealth and construction

volumes

Saint-Gobain is strengthening its

presence in all fast-growing regions

For example the Group started up a

new glass production line (float) in

Brazil and finished building two

additional float lines in Colombia and

India Sekurit is pursuing its

development in countries with

fast-growing automotive markets

notably in China Mexico Morocco

and Poland In Construction Products

the Group invested in Industrial

Mortars in Brazil and Serbia (with the

acquisition of Karbon) and in Gypsum

in Russia and China In China

Saint-Gobain also opened an

abrasives production line and a new

performance plastics plant Lastly

Verallia started up a new furnace

in Argentina

The Group is continuing to expand

its presence in these markets with

a priority focus on enhancing

profitability and developing strategic

positions

Numerous investments for Industrial Mortars Industrial Mortars has opened several new facilities in Ibiporatilde

and Pacatuba Brazil Selangor Malaysia Nakhonsrithamarat

Thailand Port Elizabeth South Africa Polevskoy Russia

Prostejov Czech Republic and Adana Turkey

The Activity also opened three new sites in Europe in Riksten

Sweden Oitti Finland and Chacircteau-Theacutebaud France

BUILDING THE HABITAT SOLUTIONS

OF THE FUTURE

Saint-Gobain develops solutions that

make buildings more energy-efficient

and help to protect the planet

Therefore the Group continues to

invest heavily in research and

development Most of its solutions

including glass products mineral

wool insulation plasterboard

exterior wall and floor coating

mortars already help to make

buildings more energy-efficient and

will further contribute to their

performance in the future

The buildings of the future will offer

all types of comfort People would

like to be able to make themselves at

home in a safe comfortable healthy

place that protects them from the

aggressions of the outside world

Saint-Gobain offers esthetic solutions

such as glazing colored mortar and

paintable wall coverings as well as

solutions to improve air quality

lighting management and acoustic

comfort (ceilings and plasterboard)

Lastly the buildings of the future will

be constructed in partnership with all

construction industry players A new

generation of contractors capable of

using energy-efficient construction

techniques will have to be trained

Saint-Gobain is committed to helping

customers and partners embrace

these green principles by leveraging

the power of its distribution

networks In line with this

commitment the Group pursued its

broad-based program to train

builders in the latest energy-saving

techniques and solutions in 2012

Saint-Gobain plays a leading role in the revolution currently

under way in the habitat and construction sector

This is the amount of energy the Saint-Gobain

Making buildings more energy-

efficient and promoting the use

of renewable energies is at the heart

of the Grouprsquos strategy which

focuses on inventing and producing

materials for the buildings

of the future Innovation is a core

building block of this strategy

The challenge at Saint-Gobain is

to develop products and solutions

that significantly reduce

the environmental impact of the

buildings and infrastructure

that use them At different levels

this is the objective of all of

the Grouprsquos major strategic RampD

programs from thermal and solar

photovoltaics and fuel cells to active

DEVELOPING A NEW CULTURE OF ECO-INNOVATION As part of a rigorous improvement

approach Saint-Gobain has set

the goal of conducting life cycle

assessments for all its building

industry product ranges by 2013

Once the environmental footprint

has been measured the Group

intends to reduce the environmental

impact of these products while

creating value This is the dual

objective of Saint-Gobainrsquos

eco-innovation strategy

MORE EFFICIENT AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PROCESSESImproving the environmental impact

of industrial processes notably

by reducing energy water and

raw materials use has been a key

concern at Saint-Gobain for many

years

A sustained effort to enhance the Grouprsquos competitiveness

Innovation is the Grouprsquos most effective

asset for differentiation in an increasingly

competitive industry Reducing time

to market is a very important pathway

to greater competitiveness Several

measures were taken in 2012 to achieve

these goals with already visible results

THE REFERENCE

AND CONSTRUCTION MARKETSIN SUSTAINABLE HABITAT

Saint-Gobain the world leader in the habitat and construction

markets designs manufactures and distributes building materials

providing innovative solutions to the challenges of growth energy

efficiency and environmental protection

In the face of global warming and

dwindling natural resources new

efforts are required notably in the

building industry which is among the

most significant contributors to

negative environmental impacts

Designing products and solutions that

facilitate sustainable building and

help to reduce the construction

industryrsquos environmental footprint

is at the heart of Saint-Gobainrsquos

sustainable habitat strategy This is a

responsibility for the teams as well

as a major source of motivation The

construction industry alone accounts

for nearly 40 of energy

consumption and 38 of greenhouse

gas emissions in industrialized

nations Its impact is considerable on

both water use and waste

representing 12 of drinking water

consumed and 40 of solid waste in

volume A massive commitment from

Saint-Gobain and all other industry

players is urgently needed

Saint-Gobainrsquos ambition is to be the

reference in the sustainable habitat

and construction markets This means

developing high value-added

construction and renovation solutions

for professional customers to ensure

that buildings are energy-efficient

comfortable healthy and esthetically

superior while at the same time

protecting natural resources

This strategy is being deployed

across all markets taking into

account their specific characteristics

bull in mature economies the

approaching shortage of fossil fuels

and the pressing need to cut CO2

emissions have prompted countries

to tighten thermal performance and

energy efficiency requirements in the

building sector Regulations are calling

for greater energy efficiency not

only in new buildings but also in

renovation projects

bull in fast-growing economies markets

are driven by rapidly accelerating

urban development and exponential

growth in demand for housing and

offices

All of these developments represent

attractive opportunities for

Saint-Gobain which offers easy-to-

use solutions aligned with local needs

and practices in every segment of

the construction market from homes

to offices and from newbuilding

to renovation projects

Per capita potential market

WORLDWIDE PRESENCE

By proposing solutions for markets at all stages of development

Saint-Gobain captures opportunities in expanding segments

of both mature and fast-growing markets

Saint-Gobainrsquos markets in mature

countries are driven by energy

performance requirements and

growing demand for comfort in

homes and buildings These markets

are expanding more rapidly than

underlying construction and

renovation volumes because of more

stringent building energy

performance standards which are

supporting demand for sustainable

innovative building solutions The

most recent regulations adopted

in Western Europe in particular

are leading to a significant increase

in the use of large window surfaces

in new buildings and encouraging

the installation of ever more efficient

insulation

Saint-Gobainrsquos capital expenditure

choices and acquisitions reflect these

trends In 2012 the Group opened a

new plant in North Carolina

manufacturing environmentally

friendly plasterboard to accompany

the recovery of the US building

ACCELERATED EXPANSION IN ASIA AND FAST-GROWING MARKETS

In fast-growing markets Saint-Gobain

responds to the increasing demand

for equipment and new residential

office and other buildings The habitat

and construction markets in these

countries offer substantial growth

potential due to urban development

and exponentially rising

infrastructure needs Like in

mature markets demand for high

value-added construction solutions

is tending to increase faster than

per capita wealth and construction

volumes

Saint-Gobain is strengthening its

presence in all fast-growing regions

For example the Group started up a

new glass production line (float) in

Brazil and finished building two

additional float lines in Colombia and

India Sekurit is pursuing its

development in countries with

fast-growing automotive markets

notably in China Mexico Morocco

and Poland In Construction Products

the Group invested in Industrial

Mortars in Brazil and Serbia (with the

acquisition of Karbon) and in Gypsum

in Russia and China In China

Saint-Gobain also opened an

abrasives production line and a new

performance plastics plant Lastly

Verallia started up a new furnace

in Argentina

The Group is continuing to expand

its presence in these markets with

a priority focus on enhancing

profitability and developing strategic

positions

Numerous investments for Industrial Mortars Industrial Mortars has opened several new facilities in Ibiporatilde

and Pacatuba Brazil Selangor Malaysia Nakhonsrithamarat

Thailand Port Elizabeth South Africa Polevskoy Russia

Prostejov Czech Republic and Adana Turkey

The Activity also opened three new sites in Europe in Riksten

Sweden Oitti Finland and Chacircteau-Theacutebaud France

BUILDING THE HABITAT SOLUTIONS

OF THE FUTURE

Saint-Gobain develops solutions that

make buildings more energy-efficient

and help to protect the planet

Therefore the Group continues to

invest heavily in research and

development Most of its solutions

including glass products mineral

wool insulation plasterboard

exterior wall and floor coating

mortars already help to make

buildings more energy-efficient and

will further contribute to their

performance in the future

The buildings of the future will offer

all types of comfort People would

like to be able to make themselves at

home in a safe comfortable healthy

place that protects them from the

aggressions of the outside world

Saint-Gobain offers esthetic solutions

such as glazing colored mortar and

paintable wall coverings as well as

solutions to improve air quality

lighting management and acoustic

comfort (ceilings and plasterboard)

Lastly the buildings of the future will

be constructed in partnership with all

construction industry players A new

generation of contractors capable of

using energy-efficient construction

techniques will have to be trained

Saint-Gobain is committed to helping

customers and partners embrace

these green principles by leveraging

the power of its distribution

networks In line with this

commitment the Group pursued its

broad-based program to train

builders in the latest energy-saving

techniques and solutions in 2012

Saint-Gobain plays a leading role in the revolution currently

under way in the habitat and construction sector

This is the amount of energy the Saint-Gobain

STRATEGY

INNOVATIVE COMPANIESIN THE WORLD

Making buildings more energy-

efficient and promoting the use

of renewable energies is at the heart

of the Grouprsquos strategy which

focuses on inventing and producing

materials for the buildings

of the future Innovation is a core

building block of this strategy

The challenge at Saint-Gobain is

to develop products and solutions

that significantly reduce

the environmental impact of the

buildings and infrastructure

that use them At different levels

this is the objective of all of

the Grouprsquos major strategic RampD

programs from thermal and solar

photovoltaics and fuel cells to active

glass high-performance insulation

external wall insulation systems

flexible functional substrates

lighting and process energy

efficiency

DEVELOPING A NEW CULTURE OF ECO-INNOVATION As part of a rigorous improvement

approach Saint-Gobain has set

the goal of conducting life cycle

assessments for all its building

industry product ranges by 2013

Once the environmental footprint

has been measured the Group

intends to reduce the environmental

impact of these products while

creating value This is the dual

objective of Saint-Gobainrsquos

eco-innovation strategy

MORE EFFICIENT AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PROCESSESImproving the environmental impact

of industrial processes notably

by reducing energy water and

raw materials use has been a key

concern at Saint-Gobain for many

years

A sustained effort to enhance the Grouprsquos competitiveness

Innovation is the Grouprsquos most effective

asset for differentiation in an increasingly

competitive industry Reducing time

to market is a very important pathway

to greater competitiveness Several

measures were taken in 2012 to achieve

these goals with already visible results

THE REFERENCE

AND CONSTRUCTION MARKETSIN SUSTAINABLE HABITAT

Saint-Gobain the world leader in the habitat and construction

markets designs manufactures and distributes building materials

providing innovative solutions to the challenges of growth energy

efficiency and environmental protection

In the face of global warming and

dwindling natural resources new

efforts are required notably in the

building industry which is among the

most significant contributors to

negative environmental impacts

Designing products and solutions that

facilitate sustainable building and

help to reduce the construction

industryrsquos environmental footprint

is at the heart of Saint-Gobainrsquos

sustainable habitat strategy This is a

responsibility for the teams as well

as a major source of motivation The

construction industry alone accounts

for nearly 40 of energy

consumption and 38 of greenhouse

gas emissions in industrialized

nations Its impact is considerable on

both water use and waste

representing 12 of drinking water

consumed and 40 of solid waste in

volume A massive commitment from

Saint-Gobain and all other industry

only in new buildings but also in

renovation projects

bull in fast-growing economies markets

are driven by rapidly accelerating

urban development and exponential

growth in demand for housing and

Per capita potential market

WORLDWIDE PRESENCE

By proposing solutions for markets at all stages of development

Saint-Gobain captures opportunities in expanding segments

of both mature and fast-growing markets

Saint-Gobainrsquos markets in mature

countries are driven by energy

performance requirements and

growing demand for comfort in

homes and buildings These markets

are expanding more rapidly than

underlying construction and

renovation volumes because of more

stringent building energy

performance standards which are

supporting demand for sustainable

innovative building solutions The

most recent regulations adopted

in Western Europe in particular

are leading to a significant increase

in the use of large window surfaces

in new buildings and encouraging

the installation of ever more efficient

insulation

Saint-Gobainrsquos capital expenditure

choices and acquisitions reflect these

trends In 2012 the Group opened a

new plant in North Carolina

manufacturing environmentally

friendly plasterboard to accompany

the recovery of the US building

ACCELERATED EXPANSION IN ASIA AND FAST-GROWING MARKETS

In fast-growing markets Saint-Gobain

responds to the increasing demand

for equipment and new residential

office and other buildings The habitat

and construction markets in these

countries offer substantial growth

potential due to urban development

and exponentially rising

infrastructure needs Like in

mature markets demand for high

value-added construction solutions

is tending to increase faster than

per capita wealth and construction

volumes

Saint-Gobain is strengthening its

presence in all fast-growing regions

For example the Group started up a

new glass production line (float) in

Brazil and finished building two

additional float lines in Colombia and

India Sekurit is pursuing its

development in countries with

fast-growing automotive markets

notably in China Mexico Morocco

and Poland In Construction Products

the Group invested in Industrial

Mortars in Brazil and Serbia (with the

acquisition of Karbon) and in Gypsum

in Russia and China In China

Saint-Gobain also opened an

abrasives production line and a new

performance plastics plant Lastly

Verallia started up a new furnace

in Argentina

The Group is continuing to expand

its presence in these markets with

a priority focus on enhancing

profitability and developing strategic

positions

Numerous investments for Industrial Mortars Industrial Mortars has opened several new facilities in Ibiporatilde

and Pacatuba Brazil Selangor Malaysia Nakhonsrithamarat

BUILDING THE HABITAT SOLUTIONS

OF THE FUTURE

Saint-Gobain develops solutions that

make buildings more energy-efficient

and help to protect the planet

Therefore the Group continues to

invest heavily in research and

development Most of its solutions

including glass products mineral

wool insulation plasterboard

exterior wall and floor coating

mortars already help to make

buildings more energy-efficient and

will further contribute to their

performance in the future

The buildings of the future will offer

all types of comfort People would

like to be able to make themselves at

home in a safe comfortable healthy

place that protects them from the

aggressions of the outside world

Saint-Gobain offers esthetic solutions

such as glazing colored mortar and

paintable wall coverings as well as

solutions to improve air quality

lighting management and acoustic

comfort (ceilings and plasterboard)

Lastly the buildings of the future will

be constructed in partnership with all

construction industry players A new

generation of contractors capable of

using energy-efficient construction

techniques will have to be trained

Saint-Gobain is committed to helping

customers and partners embrace

these green principles by leveraging

the power of its distribution

networks In line with this

commitment the Group pursued its

broad-based program to train

builders in the latest energy-saving

techniques and solutions in 2012

Saint-Gobain plays a leading role in the revolution currently

under way in the habitat and construction sector

This is the amount of energy the Saint-Gobain

DEVELOPING A NEW CULTURE OF ECO-INNOVATION As part of a rigorous improvement

approach Saint-Gobain has set

the goal of conducting life cycle

assessments for all its building

industry product ranges by 2013

Once the environmental footprint

has been measured the Group

intends to reduce the environmental

impact of these products while

creating value This is the dual

objective of Saint-Gobainrsquos

eco-innovation strategy

MORE EFFICIENT AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PROCESSESImproving the environmental impact

of industrial processes notably

by reducing energy water and

raw materials use has been a key

concern at Saint-Gobain for many

years

A sustained effort to enhance the Grouprsquos competitiveness

Innovation is the Grouprsquos most effective

asset for differentiation in an increasingly

to greater competitiveness Several

measures were taken in 2012 to achieve

these goals with already visible results

THE REFERENCE

AND CONSTRUCTION MARKETSIN SUSTAINABLE HABITAT

Saint-Gobain the world leader in the habitat and construction

markets designs manufactures and distributes building materials

providing innovative solutions to the challenges of growth energy

efficiency and environmental protection

In the face of global warming and

dwindling natural resources new

efforts are required notably in the

building industry which is among the

most significant contributors to

negative environmental impacts

Designing products and solutions that

facilitate sustainable building and

help to reduce the construction

industryrsquos environmental footprint

is at the heart of Saint-Gobainrsquos

sustainable habitat strategy This is a

responsibility for the teams as well

as a major source of motivation The

construction industry alone accounts

for nearly 40 of energy

consumption and 38 of greenhouse

gas emissions in industrialized

nations Its impact is considerable on

both water use and waste

representing 12 of drinking water

consumed and 40 of solid waste in

volume A massive commitment from

Saint-Gobain and all other industry

players is urgently needed

Saint-Gobainrsquos ambition is to be the

reference in the sustainable habitat

and construction markets This means

developing high value-added

construction and renovation solutions

for professional customers to ensure

that buildings are energy-efficient

comfortable healthy and esthetically

superior while at the same time

protecting natural resources

This strategy is being deployed

across all markets taking into

account their specific characteristics

bull in mature economies the

approaching shortage of fossil fuels

and the pressing need to cut CO2

emissions have prompted countries

to tighten thermal performance and

energy efficiency requirements in the

building sector Regulations are calling

for greater energy efficiency not

only in new buildings but also in

renovation projects

bull in fast-growing economies markets

are driven by rapidly accelerating

urban development and exponential

growth in demand for housing and

offices

All of these developments represent

attractive opportunities for

Saint-Gobain which offers easy-to-

use solutions aligned with local needs

and practices in every segment of

the construction market from homes

to offices and from newbuilding

to renovation projects

WORLDWIDE PRESENCE

By proposing solutions for markets at all stages of development

Saint-Gobain captures opportunities in expanding segments

of both mature and fast-growing markets

Saint-Gobainrsquos markets in mature

countries are driven by energy

performance requirements and

growing demand for comfort in

homes and buildings These markets

are expanding more rapidly than

underlying construction and

renovation volumes because of more

stringent building energy

performance standards which are

supporting demand for sustainable

innovative building solutions The

most recent regulations adopted

in Western Europe in particular

are leading to a significant increase

in the use of large window surfaces

in new buildings and encouraging

the installation of ever more efficient

insulation

Saint-Gobainrsquos capital expenditure

choices and acquisitions reflect these

trends In 2012 the Group opened a

new plant in North Carolina

manufacturing environmentally

friendly plasterboard to accompany

the recovery of the US building

market It also fully acquired

coming on stream in Faribault

ACCELERATED EXPANSION IN ASIA AND FAST-GROWING MARKETS

In fast-growing markets Saint-Gobain

responds to the increasing demand

for equipment and new residential

office and other buildings The habitat

and construction markets in these

countries offer substantial growth

potential due to urban development

and exponentially rising

infrastructure needs Like in

mature markets demand for high

value-added construction solutions

is tending to increase faster than

per capita wealth and construction

volumes

Saint-Gobain is strengthening its

presence in all fast-growing regions

For example the Group started up a

new glass production line (float) in

Brazil and finished building two

additional float lines in Colombia and

India Sekurit is pursuing its

development in countries with

fast-growing automotive markets

notably in China Mexico Morocco

and Poland In Construction Products

the Group invested in Industrial

Mortars in Brazil and Serbia (with the

acquisition of Karbon) and in Gypsum

in Russia and China In China

Saint-Gobain also opened an

abrasives production line and a new

performance plastics plant Lastly

Verallia started up a new furnace

in Argentina

The Group is continuing to expand

its presence in these markets with

a priority focus on enhancing

profitability and developing strategic

positions

Numerous investments for Industrial Mortars Industrial Mortars has opened several new facilities in Ibiporatilde

and Pacatuba Brazil Selangor Malaysia Nakhonsrithamarat

Thailand Port Elizabeth South Africa Polevskoy Russia

Prostejov Czech Republic and Adana Turkey

The Activity also opened three new sites in Europe in Riksten

Sweden Oitti Finland and Chacircteau-Theacutebaud France

BUILDING THE HABITAT SOLUTIONS

OF THE FUTURE

Saint-Gobain develops solutions that

make buildings more energy-efficient

and help to protect the planet

Therefore the Group continues to

invest heavily in research and

development Most of its solutions

including glass products mineral

wool insulation plasterboard

exterior wall and floor coating

mortars already help to make

buildings more energy-efficient and

will further contribute to their

performance in the future

The buildings of the future will offer

all types of comfort People would

like to be able to make themselves at

home in a safe comfortable healthy

place that protects them from the

aggressions of the outside world

Saint-Gobain offers esthetic solutions

such as glazing colored mortar and

paintable wall coverings as well as

solutions to improve air quality

lighting management and acoustic

comfort (ceilings and plasterboard)

Lastly the buildings of the future will

be constructed in partnership with all

construction industry players A new

generation of contractors capable of

using energy-efficient construction

techniques will have to be trained

Saint-Gobain is committed to helping

customers and partners embrace

these green principles by leveraging

the power of its distribution

networks In line with this

commitment the Group pursued its

broad-based program to train

builders in the latest energy-saving

techniques and solutions in 2012

Saint-Gobain plays a leading role in the revolution currently

under way in the habitat and construction sector

This is the amount of energy the Saint-Gobain

has produced one year after it was built

Saint-Gobain does not construct buildings but equips them with

differentiating high value-added solutions notably to enhance comfort

To demonstrate the effectiveness of these solutions and further develop

research and innovation numerous Group businesses joined forces to

promote the Multi-Comfort concept in 15 countries With this concept

Saint-Gobain is proposing a new way of making buildings It establishes

a common frame of reference taking into account each countryrsquos specific

features while anticipating new regulations Designed to minimize

a buildings environmental impacts the Multi-Comfort scorecard focuses

on five types of comfort

Making buildings more energy-

efficient and promoting the use

of renewable energies is at the heart

of the Grouprsquos strategy which

focuses on inventing and producing

materials for the buildings

of the future Innovation is a core

building block of this strategy

The challenge at Saint-Gobain is

to develop products and solutions

that significantly reduce

the environmental impact of the

buildings and infrastructure

that use them At different levels

this is the objective of all of

the Grouprsquos major strategic RampD

programs from thermal and solar

photovoltaics and fuel cells to active

glass high-performance insulation

DEVELOPING A NEW CULTURE OF ECO-INNOVATION As part of a rigorous improvement

approach Saint-Gobain has set

the goal of conducting life cycle

assessments for all its building

industry product ranges by 2013

Once the environmental footprint

has been measured the Group

intends to reduce the environmental

impact of these products while

creating value This is the dual

objective of Saint-Gobainrsquos

eco-innovation strategy

MORE EFFICIENT AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PROCESSESImproving the environmental impact

of industrial processes notably

by reducing energy water and

raw materials use has been a key

concern at Saint-Gobain for many

years

A sustained effort to enhance the Grouprsquos competitiveness

Innovation is the Grouprsquos most effective

asset for differentiation in an increasingly

competitive industry Reducing time

to market is a very important pathway

to greater competitiveness Several

measures were taken in 2012 to achieve

these goals with already visible results

THE REFERENCE

AND CONSTRUCTION MARKETSIN SUSTAINABLE HABITAT

Saint-Gobain the world leader in the habitat and construction

markets designs manufactures and distributes building materials

providing innovative solutions to the challenges of growth energy

efficiency and environmental protection

In the face of global warming and

dwindling natural resources new

efforts are required notably in the

building industry which is among the

most significant contributors to

negative environmental impacts

Designing products and solutions that

facilitate sustainable building and

help to reduce the construction

industryrsquos environmental footprint

is at the heart of Saint-Gobainrsquos

sustainable habitat strategy This is a

responsibility for the teams as well

as a major source of motivation The

construction industry alone accounts

for nearly 40 of energy

consumption and 38 of greenhouse

gas emissions in industrialized

nations Its impact is considerable on

both water use and waste

representing 12 of drinking water

consumed and 40 of solid waste in

volume A massive commitment from

Saint-Gobain and all other industry

players is urgently needed

Saint-Gobainrsquos ambition is to be the

reference in the sustainable habitat

and construction markets This means

developing high value-added

construction and renovation solutions

for professional customers to ensure

that buildings are energy-efficient

comfortable healthy and esthetically

superior while at the same time

protecting natural resources

This strategy is being deployed

across all markets taking into

account their specific characteristics

bull in mature economies the

approaching shortage of fossil fuels

and the pressing need to cut CO2

emissions have prompted countries

to tighten thermal performance and

energy efficiency requirements in the

building sector Regulations are calling

for greater energy efficiency not

only in new buildings but also in

renovation projects

bull in fast-growing economies markets

are driven by rapidly accelerating

urban development and exponential

growth in demand for housing and

offices

All of these developments represent

attractive opportunities for

Saint-Gobain which offers easy-to-

use solutions aligned with local needs

and practices in every segment of

the construction market from homes

to offices and from newbuilding

to renovation projects

Per capita potential market

WORLDWIDE PRESENCE

By proposing solutions for markets at all stages of development

Saint-Gobain captures opportunities in expanding segments

of both mature and fast-growing markets

Saint-Gobainrsquos markets in mature

countries are driven by energy

performance requirements and

growing demand for comfort in

homes and buildings These markets

are expanding more rapidly than

underlying construction and

renovation volumes because of more

stringent building energy

performance standards which are

supporting demand for sustainable

innovative building solutions The

most recent regulations adopted

in Western Europe in particular

are leading to a significant increase

in the use of large window surfaces

in new buildings and encouraging

the installation of ever more efficient

insulation

ACCELERATED EXPANSION IN ASIA AND FAST-GROWING MARKETS

In fast-growing markets Saint-Gobain

responds to the increasing demand

for equipment and new residential

office and other buildings The habitat

and construction markets in these

countries offer substantial growth

potential due to urban development

and exponentially rising

infrastructure needs Like in

mature markets demand for high

value-added construction solutions

is tending to increase faster than

per capita wealth and construction

volumes

Saint-Gobain is strengthening its

presence in all fast-growing regions

For example the Group started up a

new glass production line (float) in

Brazil and finished building two

additional float lines in Colombia and

India Sekurit is pursuing its

development in countries with

fast-growing automotive markets

notably in China Mexico Morocco

and Poland In Construction Products

the Group invested in Industrial

Mortars in Brazil and Serbia (with the

acquisition of Karbon) and in Gypsum

in Russia and China In China

Saint-Gobain also opened an

abrasives production line and a new

performance plastics plant Lastly

Verallia started up a new furnace

in Argentina

The Group is continuing to expand

its presence in these markets with

a priority focus on enhancing

profitability and developing strategic

positions

Numerous investments for Industrial Mortars Industrial Mortars has opened several new facilities in Ibiporatilde

and Pacatuba Brazil Selangor Malaysia Nakhonsrithamarat

Thailand Port Elizabeth South Africa Polevskoy Russia

Prostejov Czech Republic and Adana Turkey

The Activity also opened three new sites in Europe in Riksten

Sweden Oitti Finland and Chacircteau-Theacutebaud France

BUILDING THE HABITAT SOLUTIONS

OF THE FUTURE

Saint-Gobain develops solutions that

make buildings more energy-efficient

and help to protect the planet

Therefore the Group continues to

invest heavily in research and

development Most of its solutions

including glass products mineral

wool insulation plasterboard

exterior wall and floor coating

mortars already help to make

buildings more energy-efficient and

will further contribute to their

performance in the future

The buildings of the future will offer

all types of comfort People would

like to be able to make themselves at

home in a safe comfortable healthy

place that protects them from the

aggressions of the outside world

Saint-Gobain offers esthetic solutions

such as glazing colored mortar and

paintable wall coverings as well as

solutions to improve air quality

lighting management and acoustic

comfort (ceilings and plasterboard)

Lastly the buildings of the future will

be constructed in partnership with all

construction industry players A new

generation of contractors capable of

using energy-efficient construction

techniques will have to be trained

Saint-Gobain is committed to helping

customers and partners embrace

these green principles by leveraging

the power of its distribution

networks In line with this

commitment the Group pursued its

broad-based program to train

builders in the latest energy-saving

techniques and solutions in 2012

Saint-Gobain plays a leading role in the revolution currently

under way in the habitat and construction sector

This is the amount of energy the Saint-Gobain

Multi-Comfort house in Beaucouzeacute France

has produced one year after it was built

STRATEGY

Saint-Gobain does not construct buildings but equips them with

differentiating high value-added solutions notably to enhance comfort

To demonstrate the effectiveness of these solutions and further develop

research and innovation numerous Group businesses joined forces to

promote the Multi-Comfort concept in 15 countries With this concept

Saint-Gobain is proposing a new way of making buildings It establishes

a common frame of reference taking into account each countryrsquos specific

features while anticipating new regulations Designed to minimize

a buildings environmental impacts the Multi-Comfort scorecard focuses

on five types of comfort

Making buildings more energy-

efficient and promoting the use

of renewable energies is at the heart

of the Grouprsquos strategy which

focuses on inventing and producing

materials for the buildings

of the future Innovation is a core

building block of this strategy

The challenge at Saint-Gobain is

to develop products and solutions

that significantly reduce

the environmental impact of the

buildings and infrastructure

that use them At different levels

this is the objective of all of

the Grouprsquos major strategic RampD

programs from thermal and solar

photovoltaics and fuel cells to active

DEVELOPING A NEW CULTURE OF ECO-INNOVATION As part of a rigorous improvement

approach Saint-Gobain has set

the goal of conducting life cycle

assessments for all its building

industry product ranges by 2013

Once the environmental footprint

has been measured the Group

intends to reduce the environmental

impact of these products while

creating value This is the dual

objective of Saint-Gobainrsquos

eco-innovation strategy

MORE EFFICIENT AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PROCESSESImproving the environmental impact

of industrial processes notably

by reducing energy water and

raw materials use has been a key

concern at Saint-Gobain for many

years

A sustained effort to enhance the Grouprsquos competitiveness

Innovation is the Grouprsquos most effective

asset for differentiation in an increasingly

competitive industry Reducing time

to market is a very important pathway

to greater competitiveness Several

measures were taken in 2012 to achieve

these goals with already visible results

THE REFERENCE

AND CONSTRUCTION MARKETSIN SUSTAINABLE HABITAT

Saint-Gobain the world leader in the habitat and construction

markets designs manufactures and distributes building materials

providing innovative solutions to the challenges of growth energy

efficiency and environmental protection

In the face of global warming and

dwindling natural resources new

efforts are required notably in the

building industry which is among the

most significant contributors to

negative environmental impacts

Designing products and solutions that

facilitate sustainable building and

help to reduce the construction

industryrsquos environmental footprint

is at the heart of Saint-Gobainrsquos

sustainable habitat strategy This is a

responsibility for the teams as well

as a major source of motivation The

construction industry alone accounts

for nearly 40 of energy

consumption and 38 of greenhouse

gas emissions in industrialized

nations Its impact is considerable on

both water use and waste

representing 12 of drinking water

consumed and 40 of solid waste in

volume A massive commitment from

Saint-Gobain and all other industry

players is urgently needed

Saint-Gobainrsquos ambition is to be the

reference in the sustainable habitat

and construction markets This means

developing high value-added

construction and renovation solutions

for professional customers to ensure

that buildings are energy-efficient

comfortable healthy and esthetically

superior while at the same time

protecting natural resources

This strategy is being deployed

across all markets taking into

account their specific characteristics

bull in mature economies the

approaching shortage of fossil fuels

and the pressing need to cut CO2

emissions have prompted countries

to tighten thermal performance and

energy efficiency requirements in the

building sector Regulations are calling

for greater energy efficiency not

only in new buildings but also in

renovation projects

bull in fast-growing economies markets

are driven by rapidly accelerating

urban development and exponential

growth in demand for housing and

offices

All of these developments represent

attractive opportunities for

Saint-Gobain which offers easy-to-

use solutions aligned with local needs

and practices in every segment of

the construction market from homes

to offices and from newbuilding

to renovation projects

Per capita potential market

WORLDWIDE PRESENCE

By proposing solutions for markets at all stages of development

Saint-Gobain captures opportunities in expanding segments

of both mature and fast-growing markets

Saint-Gobainrsquos markets in mature

countries are driven by energy

performance requirements and

growing demand for comfort in

homes and buildings These markets

are expanding more rapidly than

underlying construction and

renovation volumes because of more

stringent building energy

performance standards which are

supporting demand for sustainable

innovative building solutions The

most recent regulations adopted

in Western Europe in particular

are leading to a significant increase

in the use of large window surfaces

in new buildings and encouraging

the installation of ever more efficient

insulation

Saint-Gobainrsquos capital expenditure

choices and acquisitions reflect these

trends In 2012 the Group opened a

new plant in North Carolina

manufacturing environmentally

friendly plasterboard to accompany

the recovery of the US building

market It also fully acquired

electrochromic glass manufacturer

SAGE whose new plant is currently

STRATEGY

ACCELERATED EXPANSION IN ASIA AND FAST-GROWING MARKETS

In fast-growing markets Saint-Gobain

responds to the increasing demand

for equipment and new residential

office and other buildings The habitat

and construction markets in these

countries offer substantial growth

potential due to urban development

and exponentially rising

infrastructure needs Like in

mature markets demand for high

value-added construction solutions

is tending to increase faster than

per capita wealth and construction

volumes

Saint-Gobain is strengthening its

presence in all fast-growing regions

For example the Group started up a

new glass production line (float) in

Brazil and finished building two

additional float lines in Colombia and

India Sekurit is pursuing its

development in countries with

fast-growing automotive markets

notably in China Mexico Morocco

and Poland In Construction Products

the Group invested in Industrial

Mortars in Brazil and Serbia (with the

acquisition of Karbon) and in Gypsum

in Russia and China In China

Saint-Gobain also opened an

abrasives production line and a new

performance plastics plant Lastly

Verallia started up a new furnace

in Argentina

The Group is continuing to expand

its presence in these markets with

a priority focus on enhancing

profitability and developing strategic

positions

Numerous investments for Industrial Mortars Industrial Mortars has opened several new facilities in Ibiporatilde

and Pacatuba Brazil Selangor Malaysia Nakhonsrithamarat

Thailand Port Elizabeth South Africa Polevskoy Russia

Prostejov Czech Republic and Adana Turkey

The Activity also opened three new sites in Europe in Riksten

Sweden Oitti Finland and Chacircteau-Theacutebaud France

BUILDING THE HABITAT SOLUTIONS

OF THE FUTURE

Saint-Gobain develops solutions that

make buildings more energy-efficient

and help to protect the planet

Therefore the Group continues to

invest heavily in research and

development Most of its solutions

including glass products mineral

wool insulation plasterboard

exterior wall and floor coating

mortars already help to make

buildings more energy-efficient and

will further contribute to their

performance in the future

The buildings of the future will offer

all types of comfort People would

like to be able to make themselves at

home in a safe comfortable healthy

place that protects them from the

aggressions of the outside world

Saint-Gobain offers esthetic solutions

such as glazing colored mortar and

paintable wall coverings as well as

solutions to improve air quality

lighting management and acoustic

comfort (ceilings and plasterboard)

Lastly the buildings of the future will

be constructed in partnership with all

construction industry players A new

generation of contractors capable of

using energy-efficient construction

techniques will have to be trained

Saint-Gobain is committed to helping

customers and partners embrace

these green principles by leveraging

the power of its distribution

networks In line with this

commitment the Group pursued its

broad-based program to train

builders in the latest energy-saving

techniques and solutions in 2012

Saint-Gobain plays a leading role in the revolution currently

under way in the habitat and construction sector

This is the amount of energy the Saint-Gobain

has produced one year after it was built

STRATEGY

Saint-Gobain does not construct buildings but equips them with

differentiating high value-added solutions notably to enhance comfort

To demonstrate the effectiveness of these solutions and further develop

research and innovation numerous Group businesses joined forces to

promote the Multi-Comfort concept in 15 countries With this concept

Saint-Gobain is proposing a new way of making buildings It establishes

a common frame of reference taking into account each countryrsquos specific

features while anticipating new regulations Designed to minimize

a buildings environmental impacts the Multi-Comfort scorecard focuses

on five types of comfort

Making buildings more energy-

efficient and promoting the use

of renewable energies is at the heart

of the Grouprsquos strategy which

focuses on inventing and producing

materials for the buildings

of the future Innovation is a core

building block of this strategy

The challenge at Saint-Gobain is

to develop products and solutions

that significantly reduce

the environmental impact of the

buildings and infrastructure

that use them At different levels

this is the objective of all of

the Grouprsquos major strategic RampD

programs from thermal and solar

photovoltaics and fuel cells to active

DEVELOPING A NEW CULTURE OF ECO-INNOVATION As part of a rigorous improvement

approach Saint-Gobain has set

the goal of conducting life cycle

assessments for all its building

industry product ranges by 2013

Once the environmental footprint

has been measured the Group

intends to reduce the environmental

impact of these products while

creating value This is the dual

objective of Saint-Gobainrsquos

eco-innovation strategy

MORE EFFICIENT AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PROCESSESImproving the environmental impact

of industrial processes notably

by reducing energy water and

raw materials use has been a key

concern at Saint-Gobain for many

years

A sustained effort to enhance the Grouprsquos competitiveness

Innovation is the Grouprsquos most effective

asset for differentiation in an increasingly

competitive industry Reducing time

to market is a very important pathway

to greater competitiveness Several

measures were taken in 2012 to achieve

these goals with already visible results

THE REFERENCE

AND CONSTRUCTION MARKETSIN SUSTAINABLE HABITAT

Saint-Gobain the world leader in the habitat and construction

markets designs manufactures and distributes building materials

providing innovative solutions to the challenges of growth energy

efficiency and environmental protection

In the face of global warming and

dwindling natural resources new

efforts are required notably in the

building industry which is among the

most significant contributors to

negative environmental impacts

Designing products and solutions that

facilitate sustainable building and

help to reduce the construction

industryrsquos environmental footprint

is at the heart of Saint-Gobainrsquos

sustainable habitat strategy This is a

responsibility for the teams as well

as a major source of motivation The

construction industry alone accounts

for nearly 40 of energy

consumption and 38 of greenhouse

gas emissions in industrialized

nations Its impact is considerable on

both water use and waste

representing 12 of drinking water

consumed and 40 of solid waste in

volume A massive commitment from

Saint-Gobain and all other industry

players is urgently needed

Saint-Gobainrsquos ambition is to be the

reference in the sustainable habitat

and construction markets This means

developing high value-added

construction and renovation solutions

for professional customers to ensure

that buildings are energy-efficient

comfortable healthy and esthetically

superior while at the same time

protecting natural resources

This strategy is being deployed

across all markets taking into

account their specific characteristics

bull in mature economies the

approaching shortage of fossil fuels

and the pressing need to cut CO2

emissions have prompted countries

to tighten thermal performance and

energy efficiency requirements in the

building sector Regulations are calling

for greater energy efficiency not

only in new buildings but also in

renovation projects

bull in fast-growing economies markets

are driven by rapidly accelerating

urban development and exponential

growth in demand for housing and

offices

All of these developments represent

attractive opportunities for

Saint-Gobain which offers easy-to-

use solutions aligned with local needs

and practices in every segment of

the construction market from homes

to offices and from newbuilding

to renovation projects

WORLDWIDE PRESENCE

By proposing solutions for markets at all stages of development

Saint-Gobain captures opportunities in expanding segments

of both mature and fast-growing markets

Saint-Gobainrsquos markets in mature

countries are driven by energy

performance requirements and

growing demand for comfort in

homes and buildings These markets

are expanding more rapidly than

underlying construction and

renovation volumes because of more

stringent building energy

performance standards which are

supporting demand for sustainable

innovative building solutions The

most recent regulations adopted

in Western Europe in particular

are leading to a significant increase

in the use of large window surfaces

in new buildings and encouraging

the installation of ever more efficient

insulation

Saint-Gobainrsquos capital expenditure

choices and acquisitions reflect these

trends In 2012 the Group opened a

new plant in North Carolina

manufacturing environmentally

friendly plasterboard to accompany

the recovery of the US building

market It also fully acquired

electrochromic glass manufacturer

SAGE whose new plant is currently

coming on stream in Faribault

Minnesota In insulation the Group

acquired Celotex a leading UK

manufacturer of high-performance

insulating foam In Building

STRATEGY

ACCELERATED EXPANSION IN ASIA AND FAST-GROWING MARKETS

In fast-growing markets Saint-Gobain

responds to the increasing demand

for equipment and new residential

office and other buildings The habitat

and construction markets in these

countries offer substantial growth

potential due to urban development

and exponentially rising

infrastructure needs Like in

mature markets demand for high

value-added construction solutions

is tending to increase faster than

per capita wealth and construction

volumes

Saint-Gobain is strengthening its

presence in all fast-growing regions

For example the Group started up a

new glass production line (float) in

Brazil and finished building two

additional float lines in Colombia and

India Sekurit is pursuing its

development in countries with

fast-growing automotive markets

notably in China Mexico Morocco

and Poland In Construction Products

the Group invested in Industrial

Mortars in Brazil and Serbia (with the

acquisition of Karbon) and in Gypsum

in Russia and China In China

Saint-Gobain also opened an

abrasives production line and a new

performance plastics plant Lastly

Verallia started up a new furnace

in Argentina

The Group is continuing to expand

its presence in these markets with

a priority focus on enhancing

profitability and developing strategic

positions

Numerous investments for Industrial Mortars Industrial Mortars has opened several new facilities in Ibiporatilde

and Pacatuba Brazil Selangor Malaysia Nakhonsrithamarat

Thailand Port Elizabeth South Africa Polevskoy Russia

Prostejov Czech Republic and Adana Turkey

The Activity also opened three new sites in Europe in Riksten

Sweden Oitti Finland and Chacircteau-Theacutebaud France

BUILDING THE HABITAT SOLUTIONS

OF THE FUTURE

Saint-Gobain develops solutions that

make buildings more energy-efficient

and help to protect the planet

Therefore the Group continues to

invest heavily in research and

development Most of its solutions

including glass products mineral

wool insulation plasterboard

exterior wall and floor coating

mortars already help to make

buildings more energy-efficient and

will further contribute to their

performance in the future

The buildings of the future will offer

all types of comfort People would

like to be able to make themselves at

home in a safe comfortable healthy

place that protects them from the

aggressions of the outside world

Saint-Gobain offers esthetic solutions

such as glazing colored mortar and

paintable wall coverings as well as

solutions to improve air quality

lighting management and acoustic

comfort (ceilings and plasterboard)

Lastly the buildings of the future will

be constructed in partnership with all

construction industry players A new

generation of contractors capable of

using energy-efficient construction

techniques will have to be trained

Saint-Gobain is committed to helping

customers and partners embrace

these green principles by leveraging

the power of its distribution

networks In line with this

commitment the Group pursued its

broad-based program to train

builders in the latest energy-saving

techniques and solutions in 2012

Saint-Gobain plays a leading role in the revolution currently

under way in the habitat and construction sector

This is the amount of energy the Saint-Gobain

Saint-Gobain does not construct buildings but equips them with

differentiating high value-added solutions notably to enhance comfort

To demonstrate the effectiveness of these solutions and further develop

research and innovation numerous Group businesses joined forces to

promote the Multi-Comfort concept in 15 countries With this concept

Saint-Gobain is proposing a new way of making buildings It establishes

a common frame of reference taking into account each countryrsquos specific

features while anticipating new regulations Designed to minimize

a buildings environmental impacts the Multi-Comfort scorecard focuses

on five types of comfort

Making buildings more energy-

efficient and promoting the use

of renewable energies is at the heart

of the Grouprsquos strategy which

focuses on inventing and producing

materials for the buildings

of the future Innovation is a core

building block of this strategy

The challenge at Saint-Gobain is

to develop products and solutions

that significantly reduce

the environmental impact of the

buildings and infrastructure

that use them At different levels

this is the objective of all of

the Grouprsquos major strategic RampD

programs from thermal and solar

photovoltaics and fuel cells to active

DEVELOPING A NEW CULTURE OF ECO-INNOVATION As part of a rigorous improvement

approach Saint-Gobain has set

the goal of conducting life cycle

assessments for all its building

industry product ranges by 2013

Once the environmental footprint

has been measured the Group

intends to reduce the environmental

impact of these products while

creating value This is the dual

objective of Saint-Gobainrsquos

eco-innovation strategy

MORE EFFICIENT AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PROCESSESImproving the environmental impact

of industrial processes notably

by reducing energy water and

raw materials use has been a key

concern at Saint-Gobain for many

years

A sustained effort to enhance the Grouprsquos competitiveness

Innovation is the Grouprsquos most effective

asset for differentiation in an increasingly

competitive industry Reducing time

to market is a very important pathway

to greater competitiveness Several

measures were taken in 2012 to achieve

these goals with already visible results

WORLDWIDE PRESENCE

By proposing solutions for markets at all stages of development

Saint-Gobain captures opportunities in expanding segments

of both mature and fast-growing markets

Saint-Gobainrsquos markets in mature

countries are driven by energy

performance requirements and

growing demand for comfort in

homes and buildings These markets

are expanding more rapidly than

underlying construction and

renovation volumes because of more

stringent building energy

performance standards which are

supporting demand for sustainable

innovative building solutions The

most recent regulations adopted

in Western Europe in particular

are leading to a significant increase

in the use of large window surfaces

in new buildings and encouraging

the installation of ever more efficient

insulation

choices and acquisitions reflect these

trends In 2012 the Group opened a

new plant in North Carolina

manufacturing environmentally

friendly plasterboard to accompany

the recovery of the US building

ACCELERATED EXPANSION IN ASIA AND FAST-GROWING MARKETS

In fast-growing markets Saint-Gobain

responds to the increasing demand

for equipment and new residential

office and other buildings The habitat

and construction markets in these

countries offer substantial growth

potential due to urban development

and exponentially rising

infrastructure needs Like in

mature markets demand for high

value-added construction solutions

is tending to increase faster than

per capita wealth and construction

volumes

Saint-Gobain is strengthening its

BUILDING THE HABITAT SOLUTIONS

OF THE FUTURE

Saint-Gobain develops solutions that

make buildings more energy-efficient

and help to protect the planet

Therefore the Group continues to

invest heavily in research and

development Most of its solutions

including glass products mineral

wool insulation plasterboard

exterior wall and floor coating

mortars already help to make

buildings more energy-efficient and

will further contribute to their

performance in the future

The buildings of the future will offer

all types of comfort People would

like to be able to make themselves at

home in a safe comfortable healthy

place that protects them from the

aggressions of the outside world

Saint-Gobain offers esthetic solutions

such as glazing colored mortar and

paintable wall coverings as well as

solutions to improve air quality

lighting management and acoustic

comfort (ceilings and plasterboard)

Lastly the buildings of the future will

be constructed in partnership with all

construction industry players A new

generation of contractors capable of

using energy-efficient construction

techniques will have to be trained

Saint-Gobain is committed to helping

customers and partners embrace

these green principles by leveraging

the power of its distribution

networks In line with this

commitment the Group pursued its

broad-based program to train

builders in the latest energy-saving

techniques and solutions in 2012

Saint-Gobain plays a leading role in the revolution currently

under way in the habitat and construction sector

This is the amount of energy the Saint-Gobain

Multi-Comfort house in Beaucouzeacute France

has produced one year after it was built

22kWh per square meter per year

STRATEGY

Saint-Gobain does not construct buildings but equips them with

differentiating high value-added solutions notably to enhance comfort

To demonstrate the effectiveness of these solutions and further develop

research and innovation numerous Group businesses joined forces to

promote the Multi-Comfort concept in 15 countries With this concept

Saint-Gobain is proposing a new way of making buildings It establishes

a common frame of reference taking into account each countryrsquos specific

features while anticipating new regulations Designed to minimize

a buildings environmental impacts the Multi-Comfort scorecard focuses

on five types of comfort

Making buildings more energy-

efficient and promoting the use

of renewable energies is at the heart

of the Grouprsquos strategy which

focuses on inventing and producing

materials for the buildings

of the future Innovation is a core

building block of this strategy

The challenge at Saint-Gobain is

to develop products and solutions

that significantly reduce

the environmental impact of the

buildings and infrastructure

that use them At different levels

this is the objective of all of

the Grouprsquos major strategic RampD

programs from thermal and solar

photovoltaics and fuel cells to active

glass high-performance insulation

external wall insulation systems

flexible functional substrates

lighting and process energy

efficiency

DEVELOPING A NEW CULTURE OF ECO-INNOVATION As part of a rigorous improvement

approach Saint-Gobain has set

the goal of conducting life cycle

assessments for all its building

industry product ranges by 2013

Once the environmental footprint

has been measured the Group

intends to reduce the environmental

impact of these products while

creating value This is the dual

objective of Saint-Gobainrsquos

eco-innovation strategy

MORE EFFICIENT AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PROCESSESImproving the environmental impact

of industrial processes notably

by reducing energy water and

raw materials use has been a key

concern at Saint-Gobain for many

years

A sustained effort to enhance the Grouprsquos competitiveness

Innovation is the Grouprsquos most effective

asset for differentiation in an increasingly

competitive industry Reducing time

to market is a very important pathway

to greater competitiveness Several

measures were taken in 2012 to achieve

these goals with already visible results

LOCAL RESPONSES

ENERGY EFFICIENCY DRIVING GROWTH IN MATURE COUNTRIES

SOLUTIONS FOR EVERY STAGE OF THE DEVELOPMENT CYCLE

Per capita potential market

WORLDWIDE PRESENCE

By proposing solutions for markets at all stages of development

Saint-Gobain captures opportunities in expanding segments

of both mature and fast-growing markets

Saint-Gobainrsquos markets in mature

countries are driven by energy

performance requirements and

growing demand for comfort in

homes and buildings These markets

are expanding more rapidly than

underlying construction and

renovation volumes because of more

stringent building energy

performance standards which are

supporting demand for sustainable

innovative building solutions The

most recent regulations adopted

in Western Europe in particular

are leading to a significant increase

in the use of large window surfaces

in new buildings and encouraging

the installation of ever more efficient

insulation

Saint-Gobainrsquos capital expenditure

choices and acquisitions reflect these

trends In 2012 the Group opened a

new plant in North Carolina

manufacturing environmentally

friendly plasterboard to accompany

the recovery of the US building

market It also fully acquired

electrochromic glass manufacturer

SAGE whose new plant is currently

coming on stream in Faribault

Minnesota In insulation the Group

STRATEGY

ACCELERATED EXPANSION IN ASIA AND FAST-GROWING MARKETS

In fast-growing markets Saint-Gobain

responds to the increasing demand

for equipment and new residential

office and other buildings The habitat

and construction markets in these

countries offer substantial growth

potential due to urban development

and exponentially rising

infrastructure needs Like in

mature markets demand for high

value-added construction solutions

is tending to increase faster than

per capita wealth and construction

volumes

Saint-Gobain is strengthening its

presence in all fast-growing regions

For example the Group started up a

new glass production line (float) in

Brazil and finished building two

additional float lines in Colombia and

India Sekurit is pursuing its

development in countries with

fast-growing automotive markets

notably in China Mexico Morocco

and Poland In Construction Products

the Group invested in Industrial

Mortars in Brazil and Serbia (with the

acquisition of Karbon) and in Gypsum

in Russia and China In China

Saint-Gobain also opened an

abrasives production line and a new

performance plastics plant Lastly

Verallia started up a new furnace

in Argentina

The Group is continuing to expand

its presence in these markets with

a priority focus on enhancing

profitability and developing strategic

positions

Numerous investments for Industrial Mortars Industrial Mortars has opened several new facilities in Ibiporatilde

and Pacatuba Brazil Selangor Malaysia Nakhonsrithamarat

Thailand Port Elizabeth South Africa Polevskoy Russia

Prostejov Czech Republic and Adana Turkey

The Activity also opened three new sites in Europe in Riksten

Sweden Oitti Finland and Chacircteau-Theacutebaud France

BUILDING THE HABITAT SOLUTIONS

OF THE FUTURE

Saint-Gobain develops solutions that

make buildings more energy-efficient

and help to protect the planet

Therefore the Group continues to

invest heavily in research and

development Most of its solutions

including glass products mineral

wool insulation plasterboard

exterior wall and floor coating

mortars already help to make

buildings more energy-efficient and

will further contribute to their

performance in the future

The buildings of the future will offer

all types of comfort People would

like to be able to make themselves at

home in a safe comfortable healthy

place that protects them from the

aggressions of the outside world

Saint-Gobain offers esthetic solutions

such as glazing colored mortar and

paintable wall coverings as well as

solutions to improve air quality

lighting management and acoustic

comfort (ceilings and plasterboard)

Lastly the buildings of the future will

be constructed in partnership with all

construction industry players A new

generation of contractors capable of

using energy-efficient construction

techniques will have to be trained

Saint-Gobain is committed to helping

customers and partners embrace

these green principles by leveraging

the power of its distribution

networks In line with this

commitment the Group pursued its

broad-based program to train

builders in the latest energy-saving

techniques and solutions in 2012

Saint-Gobain plays a leading role in the revolution currently

under way in the habitat and construction sector

This is the amount of energy the Saint-Gobain

STRATEGY

Saint-Gobain does not construct buildings but equips them with

differentiating high value-added solutions notably to enhance comfort

To demonstrate the effectiveness of these solutions and further develop

research and innovation numerous Group businesses joined forces to

promote the Multi-Comfort concept in 15 countries With this concept

Saint-Gobain is proposing a new way of making buildings It establishes

a common frame of reference taking into account each countryrsquos specific

features while anticipating new regulations Designed to minimize

a buildings environmental impacts the Multi-Comfort scorecard focuses

on five types of comfort

Making buildings more energy-

efficient and promoting the use

of renewable energies is at the heart

of the Grouprsquos strategy which

focuses on inventing and producing

materials for the buildings

of the future Innovation is a core

building block of this strategy

The challenge at Saint-Gobain is

to develop products and solutions

that significantly reduce

the environmental impact of the

buildings and infrastructure

that use them At different levels

this is the objective of all of

the Grouprsquos major strategic RampD

programs from thermal and solar

photovoltaics and fuel cells to active

glass high-performance insulation

external wall insulation systems

flexible functional substrates

lighting and process energy

efficiency

DEVELOPING A NEW CULTURE OF ECO-INNOVATION As part of a rigorous improvement

approach Saint-Gobain has set

the goal of conducting life cycle

assessments for all its building

industry product ranges by 2013

Once the environmental footprint

has been measured the Group

intends to reduce the environmental

impact of these products while

creating value This is the dual

objective of Saint-Gobainrsquos

eco-innovation strategy

MORE EFFICIENT AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PROCESSESImproving the environmental impact

of industrial processes notably

by reducing energy water and

raw materials use has been a key

concern at Saint-Gobain for many

years

A sustained effort to enhance the Grouprsquos competitiveness

Innovation is the Grouprsquos most effective

asset for differentiation in an increasingly

competitive industry Reducing time

to market is a very important pathway

to greater competitiveness Several

measures were taken in 2012 to achieve

these goals with already visible results

STRATEGY

ACCELERATED EXPANSION IN ASIA AND FAST-GROWING MARKETS

In fast-growing markets Saint-Gobain

responds to the increasing demand

for equipment and new residential

office and other buildings The habitat

and construction markets in these

countries offer substantial growth

potential due to urban development

and exponentially rising

infrastructure needs Like in

mature markets demand for high

value-added construction solutions

is tending to increase faster than

per capita wealth and construction

volumes

Saint-Gobain is strengthening its

presence in all fast-growing regions

For example the Group started up a

new glass production line (float) in

Brazil and finished building two

additional float lines in Colombia and

India Sekurit is pursuing its

development in countries with

fast-growing automotive markets

notably in China Mexico Morocco

and Poland In Construction Products

the Group invested in Industrial

Mortars in Brazil and Serbia (with the

acquisition of Karbon) and in Gypsum

in Russia and China In China

Saint-Gobain also opened an

abrasives production line and a new

performance plastics plant Lastly

Verallia started up a new furnace

in Argentina

The Group is continuing to expand

its presence in these markets with

a priority focus on enhancing

profitability and developing strategic

positions

Numerous investments for Industrial Mortars Industrial Mortars has opened several new facilities in Ibiporatilde

and Pacatuba Brazil Selangor Malaysia Nakhonsrithamarat

Thailand Port Elizabeth South Africa Polevskoy Russia

Prostejov Czech Republic and Adana Turkey

The Activity also opened three new sites in Europe in Riksten

Sweden Oitti Finland and Chacircteau-Theacutebaud France

BUILDING THE HABITAT SOLUTIONS

OF THE FUTURE

Saint-Gobain develops solutions that

make buildings more energy-efficient

and help to protect the planet

Therefore the Group continues to

invest heavily in research and

development Most of its solutions

including glass products mineral

wool insulation plasterboard

exterior wall and floor coating

mortars already help to make

buildings more energy-efficient and

will further contribute to their

performance in the future

The buildings of the future will offer

all types of comfort People would

like to be able to make themselves at

home in a safe comfortable healthy

place that protects them from the

aggressions of the outside world

Saint-Gobain offers esthetic solutions

such as glazing colored mortar and

paintable wall coverings as well as

solutions to improve air quality

lighting management and acoustic

comfort (ceilings and plasterboard)

Lastly the buildings of the future will

be constructed in partnership with all

construction industry players A new

generation of contractors capable of

using energy-efficient construction

techniques will have to be trained

Saint-Gobain is committed to helping

customers and partners embrace

these green principles by leveraging

the power of its distribution

networks In line with this

commitment the Group pursued its

broad-based program to train

builders in the latest energy-saving

techniques and solutions in 2012

Saint-Gobain plays a leading role in the revolution currently

under way in the habitat and construction sector

This is the amount of energy the Saint-Gobain

Multi-Comfort house in Beaucouzeacute France

has produced one year after it was built

22kWh per square meter per year

STRATEGY

Saint-Gobain does not construct buildings but equips them with

differentiating high value-added solutions notably to enhance comfort

To demonstrate the effectiveness of these solutions and further develop

research and innovation numerous Group businesses joined forces to

promote the Multi-Comfort concept in 15 countries With this concept

Saint-Gobain is proposing a new way of making buildings It establishes

a common frame of reference taking into account each countryrsquos specific

features while anticipating new regulations Designed to minimize

STRATEGY

INNOVATIVE COMPANIESIN THE WORLD

Making buildings more energy-

efficient and promoting the use

of renewable energies is at the heart

of the Grouprsquos strategy which

focuses on inventing and producing

materials for the buildings

of the future Innovation is a core

building block of this strategy

The challenge at Saint-Gobain is

to develop products and solutions

that significantly reduce

the environmental impact of the

buildings and infrastructure

that use them At different levels

this is the objective of all of

the Grouprsquos major strategic RampD

programs from thermal and solar

photovoltaics and fuel cells to active

glass high-performance insulation

external wall insulation systems

flexible functional substrates

lighting and process energy

efficiency

DEVELOPING A NEW CULTURE OF ECO-INNOVATION As part of a rigorous improvement

approach Saint-Gobain has set

the goal of conducting life cycle

assessments for all its building

industry product ranges by 2013

Once the environmental footprint

has been measured the Group

intends to reduce the environmental

impact of these products while

creating value This is the dual

objective of Saint-Gobainrsquos

eco-innovation strategy

MORE EFFICIENT AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PROCESSESImproving the environmental impact

of industrial processes notably

by reducing energy water and

raw materials use has been a key

concern at Saint-Gobain for many

years

A sustained effort to enhance the Grouprsquos competitiveness

Innovation is the Grouprsquos most effective

asset for differentiation in an increasingly

competitive industry Reducing time

to market is a very important pathway

to greater competitiveness Several

measures were taken in 2012 to achieve

these goals with already visible results

STRATEGY

ACCELERATED EXPANSION IN ASIA AND FAST-GROWING MARKETS

In fast-growing markets Saint-Gobain

responds to the increasing demand

for equipment and new residential

office and other buildings The habitat

and construction markets in these

countries offer substantial growth

potential due to urban development

and exponentially rising

infrastructure needs Like in

mature markets demand for high

value-added construction solutions

is tending to increase faster than

per capita wealth and construction

volumes

Saint-Gobain is strengthening its

presence in all fast-growing regions

For example the Group started up a

new glass production line (float) in

Brazil and finished building two

additional float lines in Colombia and

India Sekurit is pursuing its

development in countries with

fast-growing automotive markets

notably in China Mexico Morocco

and Poland In Construction Products

the Group invested in Industrial

Mortars in Brazil and Serbia (with the

acquisition of Karbon) and in Gypsum

in Russia and China In China

Saint-Gobain also opened an

abrasives production line and a new

performance plastics plant Lastly

Verallia started up a new furnace

in Argentina

The Group is continuing to expand

its presence in these markets with

a priority focus on enhancing

profitability and developing strategic

positions

Numerous investments for Industrial Mortars Industrial Mortars has opened several new facilities in Ibiporatilde

and Pacatuba Brazil Selangor Malaysia Nakhonsrithamarat

Thailand Port Elizabeth South Africa Polevskoy Russia

Prostejov Czech Republic and Adana Turkey

The Activity also opened three new sites in Europe in Riksten

Sweden Oitti Finland and Chacircteau-Theacutebaud France

BUILDING THE HABITAT SOLUTIONS

OF THE FUTURE

Saint-Gobain develops solutions that

make buildings more energy-efficient

and help to protect the planet

Therefore the Group continues to

invest heavily in research and

development Most of its solutions

including glass products mineral

wool insulation plasterboard

exterior wall and floor coating

mortars already help to make

buildings more energy-efficient and

will further contribute to their

performance in the future

The buildings of the future will offer

all types of comfort People would

like to be able to make themselves at

home in a safe comfortable healthy

place that protects them from the

aggressions of the outside world

Saint-Gobain offers esthetic solutions

such as glazing colored mortar and

paintable wall coverings as well as

solutions to improve air quality

lighting management and acoustic

comfort (ceilings and plasterboard)

Lastly the buildings of the future will

be constructed in partnership with all

construction industry players A new

generation of contractors capable of

using energy-efficient construction

techniques will have to be trained

Saint-Gobain is committed to helping

customers and partners embrace

these green principles by leveraging

the power of its distribution

networks In line with this

commitment the Group pursued its

broad-based program to train

builders in the latest energy-saving

techniques and solutions in 2012

Saint-Gobain plays a leading role in the revolution currently

under way in the habitat and construction sector

This is the amount of energy the Saint-Gobain

Multi-Comfort house in Beaucouzeacute France

has produced one year after it was built

22kWh per square meter per year

STRATEGY

INNOVATIVE COMPANIESIN THE WORLD

Making buildings more energy-

efficient and promoting the use

of renewable energies is at the heart

of the Grouprsquos strategy which

focuses on inventing and producing

materials for the buildings

of the future Innovation is a core

building block of this strategy

The challenge at Saint-Gobain is

to develop products and solutions

that significantly reduce

the environmental impact of the

buildings and infrastructure

that use them At different levels

this is the objective of all of

the Grouprsquos major strategic RampD

programs from thermal and solar

photovoltaics and fuel cells to active

glass high-performance insulation

external wall insulation systems

flexible functional substrates

lighting and process energy

efficiency

DEVELOPING A NEW CULTURE OF ECO-INNOVATION As part of a rigorous improvement

approach Saint-Gobain has set

the goal of conducting life cycle

assessments for all its building

industry product ranges by 2013

Once the environmental footprint

has been measured the Group

intends to reduce the environmental

impact of these products while

creating value This is the dual

objective of Saint-Gobainrsquos

eco-innovation strategy

MORE EFFICIENT AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PROCESSESImproving the environmental impact

of industrial processes notably

by reducing energy water and

raw materials use has been a key

concern at Saint-Gobain for many

years

A sustained effort to enhance the Grouprsquos competitiveness

Innovation is the Grouprsquos most effective

asset for differentiation in an increasingly

competitive industry Reducing time

to market is a very important pathway

to greater competitiveness Several

measures were taken in 2012 to achieve

these goals with already visible results

STRATEGY

ACCELERATED EXPANSION IN ASIA AND FAST-GROWING MARKETS

In fast-growing markets Saint-Gobain

responds to the increasing demand

for equipment and new residential

office and other buildings The habitat

and construction markets in these

countries offer substantial growth

potential due to urban development

and exponentially rising

infrastructure needs Like in

mature markets demand for high

value-added construction solutions

is tending to increase faster than

per capita wealth and construction

volumes

Saint-Gobain is strengthening its

presence in all fast-growing regions

For example the Group started up a

new glass production line (float) in

Brazil and finished building two

additional float lines in Colombia and

India Sekurit is pursuing its

development in countries with

fast-growing automotive markets

notably in China Mexico Morocco

and Poland In Construction Products

the Group invested in Industrial

Mortars in Brazil and Serbia (with the

acquisition of Karbon) and in Gypsum

in Russia and China In China

Saint-Gobain also opened an

abrasives production line and a new

performance plastics plant Lastly

Verallia started up a new furnace

in Argentina

The Group is continuing to expand

its presence in these markets with

a priority focus on enhancing

profitability and developing strategic

positions

Numerous investments for Industrial Mortars Industrial Mortars has opened several new facilities in Ibiporatilde

and Pacatuba Brazil Selangor Malaysia Nakhonsrithamarat

Thailand Port Elizabeth South Africa Polevskoy Russia

Prostejov Czech Republic and Adana Turkey

The Activity also opened three new sites in Europe in Riksten

Sweden Oitti Finland and Chacircteau-Theacutebaud France

BUILDING THE HABITAT SOLUTIONS

OF THE FUTURE

Saint-Gobain develops solutions that

make buildings more energy-efficient

and help to protect the planet

Therefore the Group continues to

invest heavily in research and

development Most of its solutions

including glass products mineral

wool insulation plasterboard

exterior wall and floor coating

mortars already help to make

buildings more energy-efficient and

will further contribute to their

performance in the future

The buildings of the future will offer

all types of comfort People would

like to be able to make themselves at

home in a safe comfortable healthy

place that protects them from the

aggressions of the outside world

Saint-Gobain offers esthetic solutions

such as glazing colored mortar and

paintable wall coverings as well as

solutions to improve air quality

lighting management and acoustic

comfort (ceilings and plasterboard)

Lastly the buildings of the future will

be constructed in partnership with all

construction industry players A new

generation of contractors capable of

using energy-efficient construction

techniques will have to be trained

Saint-Gobain is committed to helping

customers and partners embrace

these green principles by leveraging

the power of its distribution

networks In line with this

commitment the Group pursued its

broad-based program to train

builders in the latest energy-saving

techniques and solutions in 2012

Saint-Gobain plays a leading role in the revolution currently

under way in the habitat and construction sector

This is the amount of energy the Saint-Gobain

Multi-Comfort house in Beaucouzeacute France

has produced one year after it was built

22kWh per square meter per year

a common frame of reference taking into account each countryrsquos specific

features while anticipating new regulations Designed to minimize

a buildings environmental impacts the Multi-Comfort scorecard focuses

STRATEGY

INNOVATIVE COMPANIESIN THE WORLD

Making buildings more energy-

efficient and promoting the use

of renewable energies is at the heart

of the Grouprsquos strategy which

focuses on inventing and producing

materials for the buildings

of the future Innovation is a core

building block of this strategy

The challenge at Saint-Gobain is

to develop products and solutions

that significantly reduce

the environmental impact of the

buildings and infrastructure

that use them At different levels

this is the objective of all of

the Grouprsquos major strategic RampD

programs from thermal and solar

photovoltaics and fuel cells to active

glass high-performance insulation

external wall insulation systems

flexible functional substrates

lighting and process energy

efficiency

DEVELOPING A NEW CULTURE OF ECO-INNOVATION As part of a rigorous improvement

approach Saint-Gobain has set

the goal of conducting life cycle

assessments for all its building

industry product ranges by 2013

Once the environmental footprint

has been measured the Group

intends to reduce the environmental

impact of these products while

creating value This is the dual

objective of Saint-Gobainrsquos

eco-innovation strategy

MORE EFFICIENT AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PROCESSESImproving the environmental impact

of industrial processes notably

by reducing energy water and

raw materials use has been a key

concern at Saint-Gobain for many

years

A sustained effort to enhance the Grouprsquos competitiveness

Innovation is the Grouprsquos most effective

asset for differentiation in an increasingly

competitive industry Reducing time

to market is a very important pathway

to greater competitiveness Several

measures were taken in 2012 to achieve

these goals with already visible results

BUILDING THE HABITAT SOLUTIONS

OF THE FUTURE

Saint-Gobain develops solutions that

make buildings more energy-efficient

and help to protect the planet

Therefore the Group continues to

invest heavily in research and

development Most of its solutions

including glass products mineral

wool insulation plasterboard

exterior wall and floor coating

mortars already help to make

buildings more energy-efficient and

will further contribute to their

performance in the future

The buildings of the future will offer

all types of comfort People would

like to be able to make themselves at

home in a safe comfortable healthy

place that protects them from the

aggressions of the outside world

Saint-Gobain offers esthetic solutions

such as glazing colored mortar and

paintable wall coverings as well as

solutions to improve air quality

lighting management and acoustic

comfort (ceilings and plasterboard)

Lastly the buildings of the future will

be constructed in partnership with all

construction industry players A new

generation of contractors capable of

using energy-efficient construction

techniques will have to be trained

Saint-Gobain is committed to helping

customers and partners embrace

these green principles by leveraging

the power of its distribution

networks In line with this

commitment the Group pursued its

broad-based program to train

builders in the latest energy-saving

techniques and solutions in 2012

Saint-Gobain plays a leading role in the revolution currently

under way in the habitat and construction sector

This is the amount of energy the Saint-Gobain

Multi-Comfort house in Beaucouzeacute France

has produced one year after it was built

22kWh per square meter per year

STRATEGY

Saint-Gobain does not construct buildings but equips them with

differentiating high value-added solutions notably to enhance comfort

To demonstrate the effectiveness of these solutions and further develop

research and innovation numerous Group businesses joined forces to

promote the Multi-Comfort concept in 15 countries With this concept

Saint-Gobain is proposing a new way of making buildings It establishes

a common frame of reference taking into account each countryrsquos specific

features while anticipating new regulations Designed to minimize

a buildings environmental impacts the Multi-Comfort scorecard focuses

on five types of comfort

STRATEGY

INNOVATIVE COMPANIESIN THE WORLD

Making buildings more energy-

efficient and promoting the use

of renewable energies is at the heart

of the Grouprsquos strategy which

focuses on inventing and producing

materials for the buildings

of the future Innovation is a core

building block of this strategy

The challenge at Saint-Gobain is

to develop products and solutions

that significantly reduce

the environmental impact of the

buildings and infrastructure

that use them At different levels

this is the objective of all of

the Grouprsquos major strategic RampD

programs from thermal and solar

photovoltaics and fuel cells to active

glass high-performance insulation

external wall insulation systems

flexible functional substrates

lighting and process energy

efficiency

DEVELOPING A NEW CULTURE OF ECO-INNOVATION As part of a rigorous improvement

approach Saint-Gobain has set

the goal of conducting life cycle

assessments for all its building

industry product ranges by 2013

Once the environmental footprint

has been measured the Group

intends to reduce the environmental

impact of these products while

creating value This is the dual

STRATEGY

Saint-Gobain does not construct buildings but equips them with

differentiating high value-added solutions notably to enhance comfort

To demonstrate the effectiveness of these solutions and further develop

research and innovation numerous Group businesses joined forces to

promote the Multi-Comfort concept in 15 countries With this concept

Saint-Gobain is proposing a new way of making buildings It establishes

a common frame of reference taking into account each countryrsquos specific

features while anticipating new regulations Designed to minimize

a buildings environmental impacts the Multi-Comfort scorecard focuses

on five types of comfort

STRATEGY

INNOVATIVE COMPANIESIN THE WORLD

Making buildings more energy-

efficient and promoting the use

of renewable energies is at the heart

of the Grouprsquos strategy which

focuses on inventing and producing

materials for the buildings

of the future Innovation is a core

building block of this strategy

The challenge at Saint-Gobain is

to develop products and solutions

that significantly reduce

the environmental impact of the

buildings and infrastructure

that use them At different levels

this is the objective of all of

the Grouprsquos major strategic RampD

programs from thermal and solar

photovoltaics and fuel cells to active

glass high-performance insulation

external wall insulation systems

flexible functional substrates

lighting and process energy

efficiency

DEVELOPING A NEW CULTURE OF ECO-INNOVATION As part of a rigorous improvement

approach Saint-Gobain has set

the goal of conducting life cycle

assessments for all its building

industry product ranges by 2013

Once the environmental footprint

has been measured the Group

intends to reduce the environmental

impact of these products while

creating value This is the dual

objective of Saint-Gobainrsquos

eco-innovation strategy

MORE EFFICIENT AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PROCESSESImproving the environmental impact

of industrial processes notably

by reducing energy water and

raw materials use has been a key

concern at Saint-Gobain for many

years

A sustained effort to enhance the Grouprsquos competitiveness

Innovation is the Grouprsquos most effective

asset for differentiation in an increasingly

competitive industry Reducing time

to market is a very important pathway

to greater competitiveness Several

measures were taken in 2012 to achieve

these goals with already visible results

Making buildings more energy-

efficient and promoting the use

of renewable energies is at the heart

of the Grouprsquos strategy which

focuses on inventing and producing

materials for the buildings

of the future Innovation is a core

building block of this strategy

The challenge at Saint-Gobain is

to develop products and solutions

that significantly reduce

the environmental impact of the

buildings and infrastructure

that use them At different levels

this is the objective of all of

the Grouprsquos major strategic RampD

programs from thermal and solar

photovoltaics and fuel cells to active

glass high-performance insulation

external wall insulation systems

flexible functional substrates

lighting and process energy

efficiency

DEVELOPING A NEW CULTURE OF ECO-INNOVATION As part of a rigorous improvement

approach Saint-Gobain has set

the goal of conducting life cycle

assessments for all its building

industry product ranges by 2013

Once the environmental footprint

has been measured the Group

intends to reduce the environmental

impact of these products while

creating value This is the dual

objective of Saint-Gobainrsquos

eco-innovation strategy

MORE EFFICIENT AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PROCESSESImproving the environmental impact

of industrial processes notably

by reducing energy water and

raw materials use has been a key

concern at Saint-Gobain for many

years

A sustained effort to enhance the Grouprsquos competitiveness

Innovation is the Grouprsquos most effective

asset for differentiation in an increasingly

competitive industry Reducing time

to market is a very important pathway

to greater competitiveness Several

measures were taken in 2012 to achieve

these goals with already visible results

HEALTHY HIGH PERFORMANCE HOMES AT A LOW COST

Saint-Gobain participated in the construction

of a 40-unit low-cost housing development

as part of the Brazilian governmentrsquos

Minha Casa Minha Vida (My House My Life)

low-income housing program Located

in Ponta Grossa in Paranaacute State the homes

are equipped with new high-performance

drywall systems from Brasilit ISOVER

and Placoreg

One of the Grouprsquos areas of research focuses on ensuring

that sustainable construction is available to the largest number

of people possible particularly in fast-growing markets

STRATEGY

INNOVATIVE COMPANIESIN THE WORLD

Making buildings more energy-

efficient and promoting the use

of renewable energies is at the heart

of the Grouprsquos strategy which

focuses on inventing and producing

materials for the buildings

of the future Innovation is a core

building block of this strategy

The challenge at Saint-Gobain is

to develop products and solutions

that significantly reduce

the environmental impact of the

buildings and infrastructure

that use them At different levels

this is the objective of all of

the Grouprsquos major strategic RampD

programs from thermal and solar

photovoltaics and fuel cells to active

glass high-performance insulation

external wall insulation systems

flexible functional substrates

lighting and process energy

efficiency

DEVELOPING A NEW CULTURE OF ECO-INNOVATION As part of a rigorous improvement

approach Saint-Gobain has set

the goal of conducting life cycle

assessments for all its building

industry product ranges by 2013

Once the environmental footprint

has been measured the Group

intends to reduce the environmental

impact of these products while

creating value This is the dual

objective of Saint-Gobainrsquos

eco-innovation strategy

MORE EFFICIENT AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PROCESSESImproving the environmental impact

of industrial processes notably

by reducing energy water and

raw materials use has been a key

concern at Saint-Gobain for many

years

A sustained effort to enhance the Grouprsquos competitiveness

Innovation is the Grouprsquos most effective

asset for differentiation in an increasingly

competitive industry Reducing time

to market is a very important pathway

to greater competitiveness Several

measures were taken in 2012 to achieve

these goals with already visible results

new research center in Chennai India

The center will collaborate with local

universities and outside partners to design

sustainable habitat solutions and develop

cross-functional capabilities through

partnerships with institutions of higher

education It will also liaise with other

Saint-Gobain research centers worldwide

to speed up business growth in the region

A growing number of eco-innovative products and solutionsSaint-Gobainrsquos commitment to eco-innovation can be seen in the market success of Saint-Gobain Glassrsquos Miralite Revolution lead-free mirrors Pont-agrave-Moussonrsquos BluTop lighter-weight pipes and Veralliarsquos eco-designed EcoVa bottles which are sold around the world Another example is provided by webertherm A 200 composite external wall insulation systems combined with weberpas top surface coating which won the Bundespreis Ecodesign 2012 award for the best eco-innovative product from the German Federal Environment Ministry

Glass formation in 3DA joint team from Saint-Gobain and the French National Center for Scientific

Research (CNRS) led by the Glass Surface and Interfaces laboratory

successfully imaged glass formation in real time inside a sample using

a 3D technique called X-ray tomography One of the objectives of

this experiment is to obtain high-quality glass at lower temperatures

than those currently used in the industry

Reducing the impact of shippingGroup researchers are using their skills in applied mathematics to create more efficient shipping processes for Saint-Gobain materials and to reduce their environmental impact A team based at the Aubervilliers research center is developing innovative models for the manufacturing Activities (Saint-Gobain Weber Saint-Gobain ISOVER and Saint-Gobain Glass) as well as for the distribution Activities where logistics is of key importance in responsible efficient growth

One of Saint-Gobainrsquos strategic

research programs is devoted to the

energy efficiency and environmental

impact of the processes applied by

Group Activities that use furnaces

such as Flat Glass Insulation

Packaging and Pipes This yearrsquos

successes include improved

combustion methods in glass

furnaces a near 20 reduction in

the energy used in the Grouprsquos TEL

process for the production of

mineral wool fibers and optimized

drying in a number

of plasterboard plants

Group researchers are working

simultaneously to drive continuous

improvement and produce

breakthrough innovations

FOSTERING A CULTURE OF PARTNERSHIP AND CO-DEVELOPMENT The Grouprsquos strategic development

combined with the gradual

transformation of the habitat and

construction markets has created

a dynamic of openness and

attentiveness to customer needs

at Saint-Gobain For many years

RampD and Marketing have worked

together to respond more precisely

to market expectations

Saint-Gobain also nurtures numerous

INNOVATIVE COMPANIESIN THE WORLD

Making buildings more energy-

efficient and promoting the use

of renewable energies is at the heart

of the Grouprsquos strategy which

focuses on inventing and producing

materials for the buildings

of the future Innovation is a core

building block of this strategy

The challenge at Saint-Gobain is

to develop products and solutions

that significantly reduce

the environmental impact of the

buildings and infrastructure

that use them At different levels

this is the objective of all of

the Grouprsquos major strategic RampD

programs from thermal and solar

photovoltaics and fuel cells to active

glass high-performance insulation

external wall insulation systems

flexible functional substrates

lighting and process energy

efficiency

DEVELOPING A NEW CULTURE OF ECO-INNOVATION As part of a rigorous improvement

approach Saint-Gobain has set

the goal of conducting life cycle

assessments for all its building

industry product ranges by 2013

Once the environmental footprint

has been measured the Group

intends to reduce the environmental

impact of these products while

creating value This is the dual

objective of Saint-Gobainrsquos

eco-innovation strategy

MORE EFFICIENT AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PROCESSESImproving the environmental impact

of industrial processes notably

by reducing energy water and

raw materials use has been a key

concern at Saint-Gobain for many

years

A sustained effort to enhance the Grouprsquos competitiveness

Innovation is the Grouprsquos most effective

asset for differentiation in an increasingly

competitive industry Reducing time

to market is a very important pathway

to greater competitiveness Several

measures were taken in 2012 to achieve

these goals with already visible results

Glass formation in 3DA joint team from Saint-Gobain and the French National Center for Scientific

Research (CNRS) led by the Glass Surface and Interfaces laboratory

successfully imaged glass formation in real time inside a sample using

a 3D technique called X-ray tomography One of the objectives of

this experiment is to obtain high-quality glass at lower temperatures

than those currently used in the industry

Reducing the impact of shippingGroup researchers are using their skills in applied mathematics to create more efficient shipping processes for Saint-Gobain materials and to reduce their environmental impact A team based at the Aubervilliers research center is developing innovative models for the manufacturing Activities (Saint-Gobain Weber Saint-Gobain ISOVER and Saint-Gobain Glass) as well as for the distribution Activities where logistics is of key importance in responsible efficient growth

One of Saint-Gobainrsquos strategic

research programs is devoted to the

energy efficiency and environmental

impact of the processes applied by

Group Activities that use furnaces

such as Flat Glass Insulation

Packaging and Pipes This yearrsquos

successes include improved

combustion methods in glass

furnaces a near 20 reduction in

the energy used in the Grouprsquos TEL

process for the production of

mineral wool fibers and optimized

drying in a number

of plasterboard plants

Group researchers are working

simultaneously to drive continuous

improvement and produce

breakthrough innovations

FOSTERING A CULTURE OF PARTNERSHIP AND CO-DEVELOPMENT The Grouprsquos strategic development

combined with the gradual

transformation of the habitat and

construction markets has created

a dynamic of openness and

attentiveness to customer needs

at Saint-Gobain For many years

RampD and Marketing have worked

together to respond more precisely

to market expectations

Saint-Gobain also nurtures numerous

partnerships with world-class

organizations and universities

Fort Entrecasteaux renovation project

Hearts afloatThe Peacuteniche du Cœur a barge on the Seine river in Paris welcomes 70 disadvantaged individuals each day thanks to the generosity of eight employees and 170 volunteers who take turns manning the vessel day and night A party was held on November 8 to celebrate the completed renovation work which began in 2009 with support from the Foundation

Two Saint-Gobain Research team members sponsored the project and Group employees provided expertise to ensure that the barge was quickly brought up to safety standards and to provide a comfortable environment for disadvantaged people to spend the night or eat a meal

The Foundation working with the Acta Vista association helped create a training and job opportunities project at Fort drsquoEntrecasteaux in Marseille The renovation of this historical monument gave job seekers a chance to learn traditional masonry work using environmentally friendly techniques

Fort Entrecasteaux renovation project

Hearts afloatThe Peacuteniche du Cœur a barge on the Seine river in Paris welcomes 70 disadvantaged individuals each day thanks to the generosity of eight employees and 170 volunteers who take turns manning the vessel day and night A party was held on November 8 to celebrate the completed renovation work which began in 2009 with support from the Foundation

Two Saint-Gobain Research team members sponsored the project and Group employees provided expertise to ensure that the barge was quickly brought up to safety standards and to provide a comfortable environment for disadvantaged people to spend the night or eat a meal

The Foundation working with the Acta Vista association helped create a training and job opportunities project at Fort drsquoEntrecasteaux in Marseille The renovation of this historical monument gave job seekers a chance to learn traditional masonry work using environmentally friendly techniques
