Saint-Gobain UK & Ireland

This week is Anti-Slavery awareness week across the UK and Europe. Global issues such as conflict, climate change and authoritarian regimes have increased risk for workers, leaving them more vulnerable to exploitation. It is estimated that there are now 50 million people living in conditions of modern slavery. You may assume that modern slavery isn't a major issue in the UK as we're living in a first world country, but sadly that isn't reality. According to the UK Government, 10,000 people in the UK are in modern slavery situations; but according to slavery experts, that number is actually 122,000. It can be difficult to spot modern slavery in the workplace, but please take the time to read this brief guide on what signs you can look for to help someone in a very vulnerable situation.

The last pour: the end of an era.   This week, Saint-Gobain PAM UK have celebrated “the last pour” at its Holwell site. From 1881 to 2024, The Holwell Works foundry has been at the forefront of ductile iron road ironwork manufacturing and has employed generations of families from the local area to produce their access covers, gully gratings and surface boxes that adorn the UK’s paths, roads and highways 🛣️ Over the past few weeks, colleagues old and new have spent time reflecting and reminiscing on their time spent at Holwell, with Thursday 26th September seeing the last pour take place. Manufacturing will be moving to Saint-Gobain’s sister factory in Blénod, France – a site that has seen an €11m investment in Europe’s largest electric furnace for the production of ductile iron resulting in a 50% reduction in the carbon emissions of the road ironwork solutions transferred, helping customers achieve their net zero ambitions.   We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has been a part of the Holwell site over the last 143 years, we appreciate every single one of you 🤍 For full details: https://lnkd.in/e8pbsxTN 📲
