What is the status of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry?

The Inquiry hearings concluded with closing statements in November 2022 and the Inquiry is expected to publish its Phase 2 report in 2023.

Throughout the Inquiry proceedings and in line with Saint-Gobain’s culture, Celotex has cooperated in full and in a spirit of transparency in order to help find out what happened and to ensure it does not happen again.
