Groupe SEB places a great deal of importance on its social responsibility. This is evident in

business, in which it combines the ideas of solidarity and openness to other people.
ACTING AS A SOCIALLY
RESPONSIBLE COMPANY
Primary objective - promoting social integration
The fight against any form of exclusion is the basis of Groupe SEB's philanthropic work,
whether this comes from the corporate Foundation or from initiatives by the Group's subsidiaries.
This commitment is based on three main areas of involvement - work, living conditions, and education
and training. Altogether, the Group spent €2.2 million on its philantropic initiatives in 2011. At the end
of the year, it renewed the statutes of its Foundation, which was set up in 2007 for an initial 5-year
period. As a continuation of the previous budget, it was allocated €1.8 million for 3 years. In future,
it will aim to expand its activities worldwide, working alongside our subsidiaries.
GROUPE SEB FOUNDATION: 5 YEARS, 167 PROJECTS
"When the Foundation was set up in 2007, Groupe SEB committed itself to fighting against exclusion
with a budget of €3 million over 5 years. In actual fact, it exceeded this achievement with additional
donations for the victims of natural disasters (China, Haiti, Japan etc.). Over the past 5 years,
the Foundation has lent its support to 167 projects, including 84 large-scale projects, managed by
associations with which it has formed close ties: Habitat & Humanisme, Envie, Fondation
de la 2 e Chance, Fondation d’Auteuil and the Agence du Don en Nature of which it is a founder member.
The contributions made by the Foundation are enhanced by the involvement of our employees -
we currently have 160 volunteers and a dozen or so "ambassadors" from our French sites."
