In 2023, all Groupe SEB’s subsidiaries engaged in corporate sponsorship and solidarity initiatives, both through long-term

programs and in response to more occasional events or needs of associations. Driven by a humanist philosophy since it was

founded, respect for people is a deeply entrenched value. Its commitments contribute to the economic and social dynamic

of the regions in which Groupe SEB is firmly rooted. From Charity Week to local actions and initiatives by its subsidiaries and

Fonds Groupe SEB, we take a look back at a few of the community action launched during the year.

COMMUNITY COMMITMENT

Foundation, which works for

items for subsequent sale at

a logistics warehouse in the Seongsu region. The sorted

items are sent to 26 Goodwill Stores in South Korea.

Revenue from the sales is used to pay the salaries of

360 disabled employees, giving them not only a means of

subsistence but also higher self-esteem by being able to

support their families.

for The Earth Saviours Foundation (T.E.S.F.), a charity

that manages a shelter for victims of social exclusion

abandoned elderly people homeless people with mental
