Our challenges

"We remain convinced that our balanced business model, combining profitable growth and a resolutely responsible approach, creates value for all and plays a full part in our contribution to better living in households around the world." Thierry de La Tour d’Artaise, Chairman

 

Our VISION

Driven by the humanist values passed on by its founders, Groupe SEB has always pursued a corporate philosophy that is based on a sense of responsibility, solidarity and commitment. For example, it pioneered the redistribution of the fruits of growth to employees, anticipating the laws on profit-sharing and incentive schemes in the 1960s, but also on the sustainability and repairability of our products at the end of the 2000s.​

Convinced that Sustainable Development is a driver for creating value in the countries in which it operates, for its employees, consumers, customers and  shareholders, the Group has been committed for many years to an approach that is at the same time ethical, economically successful, socially equitable and environmentally friendly.​

 

AN AMBITION TO ENGAGE THE GROUP BY 2023​

Building on the progress made in these various areas, in 2018​ the Group went a step further, defi ning a strategy that takes into account environmental and societal challenges and sets goals for its activities and business lines to act in a responsible and ethical manner throughout the value chain. This ambition, expressed in the signature “Act for sustainable livings”, is based on four pillars that relate to the quantitative objectives set by the Group for 2023:​

​#1 - Demonstrate daily our respect for each person and our usefulness for society​
#2 - Empower our customers to adopt sustainable lifestyles thanks to our products and services​
#3 - Put our products and services at the heart of the circular economy​
