Aiming to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050

AGC Glass Europe is committed to reaching the AGC Group objectives and set out a roadmap to achieve carbon-neutral glass production by 2050.

Our roadmap to carbon neutrality

AGC's holistic approach to achieve CO₂-neutral glass production by 2050, not only includes decarbonising the glass production processes but also eliminating all CO₂ emissions from the supply chain upstream of our processes and other indirect emissions.

Our positive impact on environment

For each tonne of CO₂ emitted by AGC Glass Europe activities, more than 9 tonnes of CO₂ are avoided thanks to the use of our products!
