Saint-Gobain Launches "Lead & Grow" Strategic Plan to Boost Growth

Saint-Gobain has unveiled its new strategic plan, "Lead & Grow," to accelerate its growth trajectory until 2030. The company aims for outperformance in a deglobalized world, leveraging its suite of sustainable solutions. The focus is on increasing exposure to non-residential and infrastructure projects while maintaining local market adaptability.

Key financial targets include €12 billion in growth capex and acquisitions and achieving a mid-single-digit sales growth in local currencies. An EBITDA margin target of 15% to 18% and a free cash flow conversion ratio above 50% are set for 2026-2030. Additionally, €8 billion is planned for dividends and share buybacks.

Saint-Gobain aims for 60% sales in high-growth regions like North America and Asia. Significant reductions in CO2 emissions and a focus on construction chemicals enhance its market competitiveness.
