Saint-Gobain named ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year

For the second year in a row, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has named Saint-Gobain as an ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year for outstanding energy management and reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. In 2009, Saint-Gobain businesses in North America reduced their energy intensity by 2.2 percent – equivalent to the amount of energy needed to make nearly 486 million glass bottles or enough fiber glass insulation for more than 100,000 typical US homes. This accomplishment equated to a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions released into the atmosphere of more than 70,000 metric tons.
