Description
In this presentation I will provide an overview of the Saint Gobain Group organization, sustainability focus, core competencies and business areas. This will be followed by a deeper dive into the Ceramics Business to share the breadth and depth of problems that can be solved leveraging Ceramic and Materials Science core competencies across a wide variety of different markets including aerospace, petrochemical, Energy, Transportation, Electronics, Industrial with examples where Sustainability and Performance are key aspects of the Value Proposition and Differentiation. I will also describe how our Ceramics business is organized around 6 Global Grand Challenges (Circular Economy, Electrification, Internet of Things, Low CO2 Content Materials, Human Wellbeing and Healthcare, Safety and Security) and how we are driving innovation in new markets through our Ceramics New Horizons Team.
