Read on to find out how we plan to improve our impact on the environment and society to create a more sustainable future with our teams, partners and customers. By applying a science-based approach, we can set the best pathway possible to makechange™. We aim to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

Reduces solar heat gain and offers high levels of natural light to provide comfortable and pleasant environments in which to live and work. The increased use of glass in architecture today makes it imperative to consider the comfort of a building's occupants.

Under the agreement, Pilkington UK will supply Morgan Sindall with its broad range of architectural glass used for energy efficiency, solar control and fire safety in residential and commercial buildings.

Pilkington United Kingdom Limited, part of the NSG Group, intends to use green hydrogen at its site and scale its production of low carbon glass from 2027, under pioneering new plans with Grenian Hydrogen.

Below you will find links to the EPDs for a comprehensive range of Pilkington products for use in architectural applications. Each EPD is arranged by product groups. Registered via The International EPD ® System programme with the operator EPD International AB, these EPDs have been verified by an independent third party.

Beginning with glass production, XLR8 CCS will prove the ability of C-Capture’s innovative carbon capture technology to remove carbon dioxide from the flue gas emissions of three industries which are difficult-to-decarbonise but committed to reducing their carbon levels.

Sustainability: Pilkington Sunplus™ BIPV can assist with the with LEED and BREEAM certification process towards a Net-Zero Building, improving the sustainability credentials of a building.

New carbon pledges by international glass manufacturer NSG Group have been certified as science based, as its UK subsidiary Pilkington UK completes a string of world-first trials towards achieving decarbonisation. The NSG Group will reduce its carbon emissions by 30% compared with 2018 levels, by 2030.

Over 25% of the heat from homes and public buildings escapes through the windows so, with the rising costs of energy and increasing environmental awareness, more emphasis than ever is being placed on ways to save energy in all types of domestic, commercial and public buildings.

As an energy intensive sector and a major part of wider supply chains, early milestones like this are encouraging for the whole economy’s decarbonisation. While science and industry unpick the challenges of powering glass furnaces with hydrogen, the industry will contribute to decarbonisation like it always has.
