Our environment is the basis of all our business and we will protect nature, communities and people. We have an opportunity to make a difference in everything we make, because we all have the power to makechange™.

We care passionately about the environment and are committed to integrating sustainability considerations into all our business decisions. As a minimum we comply with all relevant country-specific laws and regulations.

We’ve been taking huge strides, but the small steps we all can make are just as important on our Sustainability journey. We have an opportunity to make a difference in everything we make, everything we do, every day.

Pilkington Mirai™ can be offered as a low carbon alternative to regular float glass, with no difference in performance, quality, or aesthetic appearance. It’s been pioneered using a combination of alternative fuel, high recycled glass content, and green electricity sources.

Mirai, meaning 'future' in Japanese, was developed to mark the start of the next generation of low-carbon glass products to help meet stricter sustainability requirements in the built environment.

Residential and non-residential buildings that use more energy than necessary to stay cool are a major source of unnecessary CO2 emissions. In March 2007, EU heads of state and government confirmed the need to save annually around 300 million tonnes of CO 2 from buildings by 2020.

The way we make our products is just as important as the products themselves. We will deliver change by working together with our teams and partners to continually look to improve our operations, manufacturing and supply chain processes to ensure they are always as sustainable as they can be.

Collectively we can support the transition to a circular glass economy and reduce the amount of glass ending up in landfill. Under our renew:glass initiative, along with our partners, our goal is to increase the amount of float glass being responsibly recycled and give it new life.

In the late 1980s Pilkington achieved its biggest advance in float technology since its invention three decades earlier, when it announced success with continuous on-line coating to make low-emissivity glasses at up to 1 km per hour.

The more of us that share, discuss, and encourage new ideas, the better our future will be. Changing our culture means the open exchange of ideas, sharing our knowledge and building communities so our teams and partners can unleash their potential.
