B U S I N E S S A N D S U S T A I N A B L E D E V E L O P M E N T R E P O R T 2010 TURNING CHALLENGES INTO DEEDS GLOBAL EXPANSION AND CORPORATE ETHICS The centre of gravity of our business continues to shift toward emerging economies, especially since the takeover of Supor in China. The Group is vigilant at all times to ensure that this expansion is carried out in compliance with its principles and its approach to sustainable development. In doing this, it uses guidelines and a worldwide reporting system to monitor performance in areas such as health & safety at work, Human Rights and respect for the environment. A sustainable development action plan is set in motion in all newly acquired entities, to gradually bring them into line with Group standards. SAfEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT THROUGHOUT THE PRODUCT LIfECYCLE To limit the ecological impact of its operations, Groupe SEB takes the environment into account at every stage in the lifecycle of its products. Its eco-design goals include product recyclability, cutting power consumption and developing the use of recycled materials. In the area of production, 78% of the Group's entities are certified ISO 14001, while recently acquired companies are working toward this goal. Its eco-logistics plan aims to cut CO 2 emissions by freight transport. The Group is also an active participant in the system for collecting and processing end-of-use products. TAKING ACCOUNT Of A CHANGING SOCIETY Groupe SEB keeps in step with sociological changes affecting its employees as well as society in general. The ageing workforce in Europe, for example, is a challenge in the effort to reduce occupational illness, to which we are responding with a proactive Health & Safety plan. The Group also promotes diversity within its workforce and takes this into account in recruitment. Meanwhile, in view of the context of economic uncertainty, the Group helps to ensure the future employability of its staff with appropriate training programmes. BEHAVING AS A CITIZEN ENTERPRISE Civil society puts growing pressure on the business world to respect high social, ethical and environmental standards. Groupe SEB’s social concern is evident at many levels. In the territories where it operates, it behaves as a responsible economic citizen: in the event of site restructuring, for example, it does everything possible to limit the impact on the local economy. The Group also participates in local life by forging links with the community and taking part in debates on issues of social concern such as nutrition and health. Its community commitment is also seen in its corporate philanthropic work, which is focused on the promotion of social integration. RESPONDING TO CONSUMER NEEDS WITH DURABLE PRODUCTS Modern consumers want products that pay attention to issues such as public health, food safety and caring for the environment. Groupe SEB makes every effort to ensure strict surveillance of these areas. Each new generation of products brings innovative features that respect the needs of individuals and the environment. The field of nutrition and health is of special interest to the Group’s innovation of new products designed for tasty and healthy food preparation. Tefal’s Enjoy kitchen utensil range.
