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.

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.

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.

The NSG Group first established a sustainability policy in 2009 and has promoted sustainability activities throughout the group. To respond to climate change, we have set Science-Based CO 2 reduction targets and we actively work to shift to renewable energy and reduce CO 2 emissions in our manufacturing processes.

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.

EPDs provide data about the global warming potential (GWP) of products by assessing the carbon emitted at each stage of a product’s lifecycle. Manufacturing and transport, emissions generated while the product is in use, and the disposal of the glass at the end of its lifespan are all evaluated when procuring the EPD.

Using a product from our energy-efficient glass range in your windows will reduce your home’s CO 2 output, making your carbon footprint smaller and your home more environmentally friendly. We offer a range of low-e energy-efficient glazing to suit every type of property, from a modern home to an older traditional styled home.

Pilkington United Kingdom Limited, part of the NSG Group, is making a multi-million-pound investment in its Merseyside facilities as part of a government-backed project that will save 15,000 tonnes of carbon emissions each year while securing the future of rolled glass manufacturing in the UK.

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.
