SA 8000 certification of our plant in India

CSR Spotlight: SGD Pharma Zhanjiang China – tackling deforestation

As well as being SA 8000 certified, the SGD Pharma China plant in Zhanjiang supports the local community by helping to protect biodiversity in Zhanjiang. The city is home to one of the world’s most successful examples of wetland ecological restoration and SDG Pharma has committed to supporting efforts to tackle deforestation by planting mangrove trees. By the end of 2022, SGD Pharma planted a total of 1300 mangrove trees on the coast of Zhanjiang, China, in association with Zhanjiang Nature and Resource Bureau.

CSR Spotlight: SGD Pharma Vemula India – developing local schools

SGD Pharma India is actively involved in social responsibility programs and contributes to developing villages and schools in the region of its plant in Vemula, Telangana, India. During one of the CSR events, SGD Pharma India distributed 200 bicycles for students and 20 special scooters to physically challenged residents.

As a global leader in heavy manufacturing of pharmaceutical-grade glass, SGD Pharma takes its global and local responsibilities seriously. Each location has an energized CSR plan deployed locally and conforms to the company’s overall standards.

The company has made significant BAT (best available technology) investment in its global plants and infrastructure as part of a continual search for improvements in energy consumption. This includes furnace renovations and updated glass production facilities in all 5 plants, including furnace 2 in Sucy-en-Brie, France (leading to a reduction in C02 and Nox emissions) and Saint-Quentin-La-Motte, France, which has both a full electrical furnace and a second oxy-fuel combustion furnace equipped with electrical boosting, both of which allow the plant to produce glass with low carbon emissions. SGD Pharma has also committed to uplift its decarbonization investment by 20% over the coming 15 years.
