Between workshops there were plenty of treats and drinks and a reminder of Saint-Gobain's various health and lifestyle benefit offerings available to all staff.

EHS Day 2024 closed with Farécla joining Mike Chaldecott on Microsoft Teams alongside other Saint-Gobain businesses across the UK and Ireland.

EHS is not just about compliance - it is about creating a culture of safety, sustainability, and well-being for everyone.
