Promoting diversity and equal opportunities
The Group is highly committed to encouraging diversity and has made some significant
progress in this area. In autumn 2011, the Group signed 2 new partnerships in France. The first
agreement, which was signed with the "Nos Quartiers ont des Talents" association, involves sponsoring
young graduates in order to help them find the right job for their qualifications. The second agreement,
signed with the Télémaque Institute, involves tutoring secondary school students to give them more
chances to succeed, in particular through socio-cultural awareness and careers advice. Many of our employees
have already responded to the appeal, including several members of our Executive Committee.
These types of initiatives are also carried out in other countries, such as the Future life project in Brazil
which helps a group of 30 or so young people from São Paulo each year. These students benefit from
refresher courses in basic subjects and help with seeking employment.
Korea - support for integrating multicultural families, who are often subject to discrimination.
A SOCIAL CLAUSE IN INVITATIONS TO TENDER
"Groupe SEB has included a social clause in its 2011 invitation to tender for the collection and
processing of waste from its French factories. This stipulates that the selection of suppliers will take into
account their approach to encourage the professional integration of people in difficulty (direct employment,
temporary contracts, sub-contracting, setting up of qualifying courses etc.). The selected companies proposed definitive
action plans in this respect, which will be followed up jointly by the Purchasing and Sustainable Development
departments. This social clause will be gradually integrated in an increasing number of invitations to tender."
