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 ENVIRONMENT: ALL CONCERNED ISO 14001* CERTIfICATION OBTAINED BY THE PANEX fACTORY IN BRAZIL’S SÃO BERNARDO DO CAMPO, AT THE END Of 2010 fREIGHT SERVICE PROVIDERS INVOLVED IN THE GROUP’S ECO-LOGISTICS PROCESS Stéphane Gautrais, Managing Director of DSV Air & Sea, France “Groupe SEB confides a large part of its maritime freight transport to our company. In 2010, this involved a worldwide traffic flow of 28,000 containers of components and finished products. We also handle overland transport to the departure port, and from the arrival port to the final destination. In terms of the environment, we submit a quarterly report to the Group on CO 2 emissions and on the progress of an action plan to bring down emission levels. To date, Groupe SEB is the only company based in France which requires worldwide reporting. We have gone to great lengths to calculate the emissions of different kinds of ships, using a methodology validated by ADEME*. We also give preference where possible to the use of barge or rail transport, rather than road haulage, in order to cut CO 2 emissions for the journeys to and from sea ports (2010 emissions were down 25% on those of 2009). We work in close collaboration with Groupe SEB logistics and purchasing teams to achieve these goals.” ECO-PRODUCTION: fACTORIES THAT CARE fOR THE ENVIRONMENT Respect for the environment has been for many years a central concern of all our entities, of which 78% are certified ISO 14001*. For the most recent arrivals into the Group, entities which are not yet certified are aiming to be so by the end of 2012**. The efforts of our factories are especially geared to cutting down on energy and water consumption, and to reducing waste and greenhouse gas emissions. ECO-DESIGN: SAfE PRODUCTS THAT RESPECT OUR PLANET The Group’s eco-design approach is based on precise guidelines applied by its innovation teams. These take account of increasingly strict regulations on the materials used in making products (European REACH* and ROHS* regulations, for example) and on the energy consumption of appliances. Rowenta’s Eco- Intelligence range is particularly efficient in terms of energy-saving. Groupe SEB is also developing the use of recycled materials, notably in cookware ranges such as Natura, which uses 100% recycled food-safe aluminium. END-Of-USE PRODUCTS: IMPROVING THE RECYCLING AND RE-USE NETWORK The collection and processing of small electrical appliances in Europe is managed by eco-organizations. Groupe SEB is particularly involved in France, where it presides Eco-Systèmes, the country’s main eco-organization*. Since 2010, Groupe SEB also participates in the VALEEE* project, which brings together industrial operators and research institutes with a view to improving the offer in recycled plastics which can be used in industrial processes. * See glossary, page 84 ** See Action Plans on www.groupeseb-devdurable.com
S U S T A I N A B L E D E V E L O P M E N T 82 - 83 O U R P L A N E T DIRECT DELIVERY TO fRENCH RETAILERS fROM fACTORIES AND PORTS, WITHOUT GOING VIA WAREHOUSES, SAVES 135,000 KM ECO-LOGISTICS: CUTTING CO 2 EMISSIONS RELATED TO TRANSPORT The transport of products or components is one of the main sources of Groupe SEB’s direct CO 2 emissions. Our eco-logistics policy aims to reduce these emissions by taking action at three levels: optimum loading of transport units, greater use of alternatives to road haulage (rail, waterway), and stricter ecological demands on our freight transport providers. In 2010, the unit loading rate continued to improve: the rate for lorries rose to 65% from 63% in 2009, and for sea-going containers to 86% from 85%. In terms of alternative modes of transport, a pilot project was carried out in France to study the possibility of systematic use of rail transport for containers of components delivered to factories. Groupe SEB also continued to improve the reliability of its transport carbon footprint in 2010, by extending the method tested in France with Club Demeter and ADEME* to cover international routes. PARTICIPATION IN THE CARBON DISCLOSURE PROJECT: AN INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION Of SOME 300 MAJOR COMPANIES WHO SHARE EXPERIENCE ON ACHIEVING CARBON fOOTPRINT CALCULATION SD SPOTLIGHT r ACTICOOK ECONOMIZES RESOURCES With three eco-friendly innovations and six exclusive patents, Groupe SEB’s new generation of pressure cookers, Acticook, scores points on saving natural resources. Its Eco Energy system eliminates up to 85% of air from the cooker (air not being a good conductor of heat), and so reduces cooking time. Its Eco Dose system measures the precise amount of water needed for each item to be cooked, and so avoids waste. Its electronic precision Eco Timer shows exactly when to turn down the heat source. In all, compared with a traditional pressure cooker, Acticook saves 35% in cooking time and 20% in energy.
