Driven by the humanist values passed down by its founders, Groupe SEB has always aimed to respect a company philosophy

founded on a sense of responsibility, solidarity and commitment. For over twenty years, the Group has built a formative policy

and undertaken tangible, pioneering initiatives, often going above and beyond new CSR standards and requirements. The Group

set its first CSR goal in 2018, with quantitative environmental, social and societal criteria. This ambitious program, entitled

“Act for sustainable livings” drew to a close in 2023 with positive results.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT:

STRONGER COMMITMENT

AND SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS

A GROUP AHEAD OF ITS TIME

Groupe SEB has developed an ethical approach that

is economically profitable, thanks to sustainable

innovations; socially equitable and environmentally

responsible, through long-term, pioneering

commitments.

In 2023, the Group was one of the first French

businesses to adopt the United Nations Global

Compact. This proactive engagement was already

evidenced by the creation of a Sustainable Development

Department in 2004, inspiring major changes within

the Group. The Group also took position very early on

to promote the circular economy and eco-design: from

the launch of the first product ranges in recycled metals

and plastics to setting up its reparability policy, with the

original 10-year period introduced in 2015 extended to

15-years from 2021, and the creation of its ECOdesign

label in 2021. A pioneer in climate action, the Group

defined SBTi (Science Based Target Initiative) goals to

reduce its emissions in 2018, with an undertaking to

contribute to carbon neutrality for the planet by 2050; it

is one of the first 100 corporations in the world to have

an SBTi-approved pathway.
