Saint Gobain - Supplies the funding for the glass trophies.
At Saint-Gobain we belive everything is possible.
This belief has led our growth and development since we were formed in 1665 to produce the glass for the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles.
Today as one of the world's top one hundred industrial corporations we operate in 54 countries with a global workforce of 200,000, including 20,000 in the UK and Ireland.
One of the greatest challenges facing us all is protecting the environment for future generations. And at Saint-Gobain we take our responsibilities further than most. Over their lifetime our products can help save more energy than was used in their manufacture.
Many of our companies are accredited with the ISO14001 environmental standard, with many more working toward its implementation. And we are proud to say that Saint-Gobain can count itself among the FTSE4GOOD Index, which offers a benchmark of performance for socially responsible investors.
One of the key focuses of the Group's environmental policy is to make better use of materials by minimising consumption of natural materials and promoting the recycling and re-use of waste products.

ClimateCare - Offset 3.42 tonnes of emission associated with travel to and from the 2009 ceremony. Offset through the ClimateCare Portfolio of Projects.
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our times. To tackle this in an effective way we need to make deep cuts in greenhouse gases and take all opportunities available to create a low carbon world. However, societal change takes time.
While businesses and individuals work hard to reduce the emissions from their activities, they can offset the remainder through ClimateCare - we invest in emission reduction projects, accredited to internationally recognised standards, which not only reduce carbon in the atmosphere by the same amount you’ve emitted, they also help to improve lives.
‘Humanity is in a sinking boat, with water pouring through a huge hole in its side. We have to fix the hole - the role of politicians and scientists. But we also have to bail the boat to buy time for this to happen. Carbon offsets are the boat-bailing. Let’s embrace them as a crucial transition tool, and make sure we develop a carbon market that works for the public, for the poor and most crucially of all, for the climate.’ Mike Mason, Founder of ClimateCare.
ClimateCare was founded in 1997 and is one of the longest established and leading environmental organisations in the carbon market, providing an end-to-end service to our clients, from emission reduction project origination to sales, marketing and public relations support. ClimateCare became part of J.P. Morgan’s Environmental Markets team in April 2008.
