Among the aspects verified by Bureau Veritas in the evaluation of sustainability practices are the Diversity and Inclusion policies of Saint-Gobain Canalização, such as the Women in Senior Management program and the hiring of people with disabilities in its production process. Also fundamental to the achievement was its efficient communication plan to inform, empower, and engage employees regarding the company’s agenda. Saint-Gobain Canalização had its maturity level of sustainability practices classified as “Engaged” in the three business units located in Barra Mansa (RJ), Itaúna (MG), and Bom Jardim de Minas (MG). This classification indicates a commitment to management and participatory practices in ESG, as well as significant stakeholder involvement throughout its value chain.

“Our Sustainability Committee is strongly committed to CO2 emissions. Saint-Gobain Canalização aims to reduce CO2 emissions (scope 1 and 2) by 33% and CO2 emissions (scope 3) by 16% by 2030 and achieve NET ZERO by 2050. This is a target set by Saint-Gobain worldwide for all companies in the group,” says Bruna Lacerda, Sustainability Director of Saint-Gobain Canalização.

For 2023, Saint-Gobain Canalização is working on the implementation of projects to reduce CO2 emissions. Among them, actions such as the use of clean energies for electricity supply, studies to replace part of the natural gas used with biogas from landfills, and the use of sintered waste in the metallic charge composition of the Blast Furnace, thus reducing iron ore consumption, among others. Last year, the company was already certified in Carbon Neutrality, regarding the balance of its direct and indirect emissions and CO2 equivalent removals.
