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 and CEO

 

Our VISION

Driven by the humanist values bequeathed by our founders, Groupe SEB has always endeavoured to uphold a corporate philosophy 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 represents a lever for value creation for territories, but also for our customers and consumers, the Group has been committed for many years to an ethical, economically profitable, socially equitable and environmentally responsible approach.

 

NEW AMBITIONS TO COMMIT Groupe SEB BY 2023

Capitalizing on the progress made in these different areas, the Group took a new step in 2018 by defining new challenges related to its businesses in order to act in a positive manner throughout its value chain.
This new strategy is expressed in the signature "Act for sustainable livings", broken down into four ambitious commitments:
 
#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
#4 - Contribute to the fight against global warming through our low-carbon strategy
