At Saint-Gobain, we firmly believe in the power of diversity and inclusion. "Build the best teams in a diverse and inclusive workplace" is one of the six pillars of our Grow & Impact strategic plan, which is brought to life on a day-to-day basis through the Act sustainably program. In the Southern Europe, Middle East and Africa Region, our efforts to promote equality between women and men are bearing fruit, enabling us to make progress and meet or even exceed the targets set by the Group for 2025. These results are certainly very promising, but we must continue our efforts. Moreover, gender equality is not the only priority, and there is still a lot to be done to create a more inclusive working environment, so that everyone can use their full potential. So what are our priorities and actions? We'll let you find out in this video, featuring testimonials from Thierry Fournier (CEO Southern Europe, Middle East and Africa Region) and the SEMEA Regional Management Committee, Nayla Valente, Richard Juggery, Othman Benjelloun Touimi, Hady Nassif, jean-luc GARDAZ, Adriana Rillo, Silvia Mariani... #Growandimpact #Actsustainably #Diversity #Inclusion

Welcome to our Rothoblaas catalogues for timber construction! We're thrilled to offer you the latest tools and products to help you take on the exciting challenge of building with wood. As architects, we know that the increased complexity and precision required for timber construction can be daunting. But we also believe that challenges present opportunities. And in this case, it's an opportunity for you to once again become more involved in the process of building your projects, rather than just designing them. When you build with wood, you have to bring construction know-how into the process much earlier if you want the project to be successful. This means you'll have to collaborate more closely with engineers, builders, and manufacturers to ensure that your designs can be translated into safe and sustainable structures. But don't worry, because we're here to help you every step of the way. At Rothoblaas, we're excited about this shift in the planning culture, and we believe that it will make your job as an architect much more interesting. Your competencies will likely have to go much deeper into the building process again, rather than just acting as a surface or color designer and making renderings for anyone to build. This means that you'll have to become more knowledgeable about materials, construction techniques, and building codes, which will make you a more valuable member of any project team. Our catalogues are packed with products and solutions that will help you navigate the complexities of timber construction. From connectors and fasteners to insulation and waterproofing, we have everything you need to ensure that your designs are structurally sound, energy-efficient, and weather-resistant. So why wait? Take advantage of this opportunity to expand your skills and knowledge and become a leader in the exciting world of timber construction. Browse our catalogues today and discover how Rothoblaas can help you turn your designs into reality. Unlock the true potential of timber - build sustainably and create a better future: ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dMv2bNi Download our BIM /CAD library today and start designing with ease.

At Hermes Technologie, I've learned something crucial: while most people highlight their strengths, discussing our weaknesses can be even more valuable. 💡 Over the years, especially as an employer, I've realized that sharing our flaws and areas for improvement can foster better teamwork and collaboration. Instead of just showcasing what we excel at, acknowledging our weaknesses allows us to find teammates who can complement and support us where we fall short. Imagine a team where everyone is honest about their challenges—not just saying, "I'm not good at sports" or "I'm a perfectionist," but genuinely opening up about areas where they need help. This honesty makes it easier to build a cohesive team where each member's strengths cover another's weaknesses. At Hermes Technologie, we prioritize not only our strengths but also how each individual can support and uplift their colleagues. Next time you see a weakness in one of your colleagues, don't laugh about it behind their back. Instead, offer your help and always focus on their strengths rather than comparing how good you are at a specific task. Let's create a work environment where vulnerability and honesty lead to stronger, more effective teams. 💪✨ #Teamwork #HonestyInLeadership #StrengthInWeakness #Collaboration #HermesTechnologie

🇺🇦 Ukraine: Building Back Better!   Today I had the honour to represent #Etex on the panel about Rebuilding Future Ukraine‘s Infrastructures during the Ukraine’s Future Summit #UFS2024 in Brussels - surrounded by impressive people engaging for the same vision.   I shared our own #etex experience, which is that our factory in Bakhmut was destroyed by Russian attacks in May 2022 and we lost access to our gypsum quarry. We helped our 250 teammates to relocate to safer areas, divested our operations in Russia and we kept supplying the needed products from Poland and Romania to Ukraine. Today we are actively working on rebuilding our business and new manufacturing capacities in Ukraine.   For sure this will be a double challenge: rebuilding will not only require massive investments and unprecedented capacities. On top we should build back better - in a more sustainable and future proof way - creating a building stock, which will be EU ready one day.   For us this means, creating partnerships, capacities and a network ready to support, drive and scale up now and when the time comes.   #buildingbackbetter #ukraine
