FOCUS ON THREE UNDERTAKINGS IN 2022
10 YEARS OF SUPPORT FOR THE BANQUE
SOLIDAIRE DE L’ÉQUIPEMENT
In September, the Fonds Groupe SEB and
the Banque Solidaire de l’Équipement
(BSE), founded by Emmaüs Défi, celebrated
the tenth anniversary of their partnership.
Because furnishing one’s home is part of
integration into society, Groupe SEB supports
BSE in helping families in need to make their
new housing a home, by providing them with
essential domestic appliances. Over the last
decade, BSE and Groupe SEB have provided
nearly 9,000 households (representing nearly
21,000 beneficiaries) with new products from
the Group at low prices for their new homes.
In 2022, 530 households were equipped by
the Lyon branch.

TAKING ACTION FOR UKRAINE
Fonds Groupe SEB has joined the international

all over Ukraine facing extremely difficult
living conditions. In addition to this initiative,
there were in-kind donations: medical
and health supplies for health centers in
Ukraine, including 75 MakAir ventilators, and
700 products for the Foyer Notre-Dame
