2021 Owens Corning Sustainability Report | Our Approach | UN SDG Alignment | 48 SDG Target 8.5 | By 2030, achieve full and productive employment and decent work for all women and men, including for young people and persons with disabilities, and equal pay for work of equal value. A consistent philosophy in the design, application, and administration of total compensation programs globally ensures equitable treatment for all employees independent of gender, age, or status as a member of an underrepresented population, and we conduct biannual pay reviews to ensure our employees are paid equitably. SDG Target 8.7 | Take immediate and effective measures to eradicate forced labor, end modern slavery and human trafficking and secure the prohibition and elimination of the worst forms of child labor, including recruitment and use of child soldiers, and by 2025 end child labor in all its forms. SDG Target 8.8 | Protect labor rights and promote safe and secure working environments for all workers, including migrant workers, in particular women migrants, and those in precarious employment. To further align our efforts with the UN SDGs, human rights has been a part of our materiality matrix since 2017, and we have devoted a section of this report to our commitment and progress. We continue to strengthen our processes to ensure our human rights policy is implemented worldwide. Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure All three Owens Corning businesses (Composites, Insulation, and Roofing) engage in research and innovation to deliver products and services that bring performance and durability to infrastructure and the built environment. SDG Target 9.1 | Develop quality, reliable, sustainable and resilient infrastructure, including regional and transborder infrastructure, to support economic development and human well-being, with a focus on affordable and equitable access for all. SDG Target 9.4 | By 2030, upgrade infrastructure and retrofit industries to make them sustainable, with increased resource-use efficiency and greater adoption of clean and environmentally sound technologies and industrial processes, with all countries taking action in accordance with their respective capabilities. Regarding both 9.1 and 9.4, we develop materials and systems that create resilient buildings and infrastructure. We currently have 15 products that have received “Made with 100% Renewable Electricity and Reduced Embodied Carbon” certification. These products give commercial architects and specifiers the option of low-carbon products to build greener structures. We offer glass-fiber reinforced bars (rebar), which are corrosion-resistant and helps extend the life of bridges, as well as the PAROC ® Natura line of stone wool insulation discussed under SDG Target 8.2. SDG Target 9.5 | Enhance scientific research, upgrade the technological capabilities of industrial sectors in all countries, in particular developing countries, including, by 2030, encouraging innovation and substantially increasing the number of research and development workers per 1 million people and public and private research and development spending. We have established science and technology centers in key markets worldwide. Our 11 global S&T centers employ scientists and engineers with expertise in a wide range of disciplines, including glass science, chemical engineering, fundamental chemistry, and much more. Our S&T organization includes close to 450 people. Responsible Consumption and Production The sustainability practices we have in place for our operations and supply chain reflect the attention to product sustainability and reducing our manufacturing footprint. SDG Target 12.4 | By 2030, achieve environmentally sound management of chemicals and all wastes throughout their life cycle in accordance with agreed international frameworks and significantly reduce their release to air, water and soil to minimize adverse impacts on human health and the environment. Approximately 36% of our locations were certified to ISO 14001, which accounts for 50% of our employees.
