Engaging With Decision Makers

Pilkington recognises the importance of engaging with decision-makers in Westminster and Whitehall, to ensure key issues for the company and for the industry are kept on the political agenda.

Over the course of 2010 and 2011, Pilkington colleagues, working with the GGF, have met with a number of MPs with Pilkington sites within their constituencies. The company has also met with some key ministers whose responsibilities encompass the areas that most affect Pilkington as a company, and also impact our customers and consumers.
