Report back on Sustainable Development Week at Groupe SEB
 France: distribution of EMSA travel mugs to employees

This year, the theme was fighting against climate change.

Groupe SEB has made this topic one of the 5 key components of our Sustainable Development strategy. From the design of products to their end-of-life, the Group seeks to limit their ecological footprint at every step (eco-design, eco-production, eco-logistics, recycling, etc.) and do our part to fight against global warming. 

Many sites throughout the world organized events thanks to the efforts of the Human Resources and Health Safety and Environment teams: 

  •  France: distribution of EMSA travel mugs to employees, an inspirational talk by Julien Vidal www.cacommenceparmoi.org, waste sorting and food waste reduction operations, a visit to a beehive.
Mexico: private sale of storage containers, waste and plastic reduction challenge.
  • Taiwan: awareness raising and energy consumption in the workplace challenge, days with homemade meals brought in storage containers.
