New markets

The target for strategic programmes

Break into existing markets with promising development opportunities. Break into future markets, in which potential for development has been detected.

These are the objectives of the strategic programmes. 

Each strategic program corresponds to a portfolio of specific projects that aim to provide Saint-Gobain with a range of products and solutions for emerging markets. There is also a program bringing together projects designed to improve the energy efficiency and environmental performance of our manufacturing processes.

These height programs are:

  • - Solar power
  • - Lighting
  • - Intelligent glass
  • - High-performance insulation systems
  • - External wall insultation systems
  • - Applying green chemistry to our materials
  • - Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs)
  • - Energy efficient manufacturing processes with a smaller environmental footing
