The Group has once again demonstrated

its position as pioneer and leader driven by

objectives of reparability widely exceeded a

significant increase in the use of recycled

materials in products and packaging and

successful new projects in secondhand

activities notably in France with RépareSeb

but also in Spain and Germany

The percentage of recycled materials plastic

aluminum etc in manufactured products and

packaging has increased sharply from 38

in 2018 to 48 at the end of 2023 This is due

to very proactive initiatives at the factories

notably at Rumilly FRA and Yuhuan CHN

Groupe SEB is committed to very ambitious

decarbonization targets concerning

operations in its factories, product use and

logistics, and adheres to a strict policy to

improve packaging.

Through the eco-production policy

implemented at all its sites worldwide,

Groupe SEB has taken action at two levels:

saving energy and increasing the share of

renewable energy. Photovoltaic panels have been

installed at various sites such as the factories in

Pont-Évêque (FRA), Rionegro (COL), Montebello

(USA) and last but not least, Yuhuan (CHN).

95%

Achievement

rate

As the majority of Groupe SEB’s greenhouse

gases result from the consumers’ use of

its products (64.3% in 2023), one of the

major areas for product development lies in

reducing use-related energy consumption.

Although the goal was only partially achieved

due to increased sales in carbon-intensive

countries, remarkable progress was

nonetheless made in energy efficiency, of

which the Green Force Max bagless vacuum

cleaner (Rowenta), manufactured at the

Vernon (FRA) site, is a compelling example:

using just 400 watts, it is as efficient as an

equivalent product operating at 900 watts.

In terms of eco-packaging, the goal for carboard

has been exceeded with 94% of recycled fibers

at the end of 2023. The Group has also removed

expanded polystyrene in the vast majority of its

packaging (90%), and plastic bags in almost half

(47%). This amazing progress in an operationally

complex area has been accomplished over

5 years through close collaboration between

the Product Development and Purchasing

teams. The elimination of plastic bags proved

more difficult for some product categories

and locations due to technical constraints and

consumer acceptance, for both hygiene and

quality reasons.

in 2023 and a collaborative approach

established with the Groups suppliers which

will act as a springboard to ensure that this

figure grows over the coming years

A pioneer in product reparability the Group

has also made major advances through

its repairable for 15 years at a fair price

commitment extended in 2021 with a set

repair fee to control costs and provide a

6month guarantee on repaired products

The subsidiary SEB International Service

SIS manages stocks of spare parts and

accessories for all Groupe SEBs brands

Nearly 8 million spare parts are stored at

the Groups central warehouses 30000m

of storage in FaucogneyetlaMer FRA

With the same focus on circularity the

RépareSeb community workshop and store

for reconditioned small domestic appliances

in France which opened in December

2020 is helping more than 25 employees

into the workplace They have repaired or

reconditioned more than 15000 products

thereby preventing more than 60 tons of

waste in 2023
