🌟 Celebrating 25 Years of Excellence at Our Tlaxcala Plant! 🌟 This past December, we proudly celebrated a major milestone: 25 years of successful operations at Saint-Gobain ADFORS Tlaxcala (Mexico)! Over the years, our plant has become a cornerstone of ADFORS' commitment to delivering high-performance solutions to customers worldwide. Starting in 2000 with the production of insect screens, our journey has evolved into a remarkable story of growth, driving significant industrial development across the North Latin America region. In 2015, we expanded our operations with the introduction of mesh weaving to meet the growing demand for construction products like EIFS reinforcement mesh and drywall tapes. 💡 This milestone reflects the dedication of our talented team, the trust of our customers, and the collaboration of our partners. Together, we have built a legacy of excellence, innovation, and sustainability—and we are ready to embrace the future with even greater enthusiasm. Thank you for being an integral part of our journey. Here’s to many more years of success, innovation, and transformation ahead! 🎉 #25YearsOfExcellence #technicaltextiles #Tlaxcala #SaintGobain

Reducing Scope 3 Emissions: A Collective Effort   We have long been committed to reducing our Scope 1 and 2 CO₂ emissions to minimize the environmental footprint of our industrial sites. While we continue to make progress in these areas, we are now intensifying our efforts to address Scope 3 emissions.   What are our commitments? In alignment with the Saint-Gobain Group’s sustainability ambitions, we are committed to reducing our absolute Scope 3 emissions by 16% (compared to 2017) by 2030.   How will we achieve this? Following our assessment of Scope 3 emissions, we identified the key areas within our supply chain with the greatest impact. As a result, we are focusing our efforts on reducing emissions in purchased goods including packaging and transport.   To achieve this ambitious goal, we are involving our:   • Internal teams: Raising awareness about the challenges of limiting our Scope 3 emissions and engaging our teams to take action to reduce emissions across our three priority categories. • Suppliers: Actively involving our suppliers in our Scope 3 initiatives and especially building close partnership with them to access alternative low CO2 emissive raw materials.   Together, we are reshaping our supply chain to reduce environmental impact globally and move toward a more sustainable future.

🌟 Discover ADFORS GRANT! 🌟   At ADFORS, we are committed to supporting local initiatives and community-driven projects. That’s why we created the ADFORS GRANT in the Czech Republic—a program designed to fund projects in five key categories: ecology, social causes, sports, culture, and municipalities.   Who can apply? Each year, any organization, association, or individual residing near our Czech plants is welcome to submit a community-focused project.   How does it work? Applications for the ADFORS GRANT open each year on the dedicated program website on October 1st. Participants may submit multiple applications across different categories. Projects in ecology, sports, culture, and social categories are selected by our employees, while those in the municipality category are chosen by a committee of top management. Final results are announced in March. The ADFORS GRANT offers a unique opportunity to bring socially impactful projects to life. Over the past 11 years, this program has funded 97 initiatives with a total investment exceeding 3 million CZK. This program not only provide financial support but also offer valuable local visibility.   👇 Check out examples of projects supported by the ADFORS GRANT in the visuals below.

Climate Awareness: Our Facilitators Make a Difference! As decarbonization remains a key focus of our sustainability strategy, we are taking action by engaging our teams through the Climate Fresk. By 2025, our goal is to train at least 80% of our employees, equipping them with the knowledge and tools to better apprehend and engage in regards of the urgent challenges of climate change. The Climate Fresk is a powerful, collaborative workshop that raises awareness of the causes and consequences of climate disruption. It helps participants grasp the complex interactions between human activities and the environment. This initiative wouldn’t be possible without our incredible facilitators. Their expertise is essential in guiding participants through the workshops, sparking insightful discussions, encouraging critical thinking, and ensuring that the experience is impactful for everyone involved. A huge thank you to all our facilitators around the world who are driving this movement forward and to Ales Azcárate and Matthew Goldhawk for sharing their experiences. Together, we’re taking meaningful steps toward a more sustainable future! 💪
