Saint-Gobain PAM retains its ECOVADIS gold medal!
Our French teams have won the Ecovadis 2025 gold medal for the 2nd consecutive year.
With a score of 82/100, PAM now ranks among the top 2% of companies worldwide. It remains the only European manufacturer of ductile iron water networks to receive this distinction.
EcoVadis is the global benchmark for assessing Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility (CSR). The organization analyzes 21 criteria across four main themes: Environment, Social and Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Purchases. Each rating is based on concrete evidence of performance and the implementation of a continuous improvement strategy.
For 2025, Saint-Gobain PAM was recognized for its initiatives to reduce its environmental impact, including:
- A 75% reduction in water and energy consumption at its production sites since 2015;
- An 80% reduction in CO₂ emissions by 2028 through innovative industrial projects on electric furnaces (notably Thor in 2022, Vulcain in 2025, and Orion planned for 2028);
- Training and awareness-raising for teams, certifications, and regular audits.
The company also distinguishes itself through its best practices in the following areas:
- Social and Human Rights: working conditions, social dialogue, prevention and training measures;
- Ethics: assessment of corruption risks, information security, combating anti-competitive practices;
- Sustainable Purchases: integration of social and environmental clauses for suppliers and analysis of CSR risks.
This gold medal reaffirms Saint-Gobain PAM’s commitment to sustainability, ethics and transparency, and constitutes a guarantee of trust for its customers and partners in the water sector.
Receiving the Ecovadis Gold Medal for the second year in a row is a true recognition of the commitment of all our teams to more sustainable development. This distinction confirms our position as a European leader and encourages us to pursue excellence in CSR, continuously innovating to reduce our environmental impact and promote ethical and responsible practices at every stage of our business.
