CORPORATE AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2007<br />

Being attentive to shareholders<br />

A listed company since 1975, <strong>Groupe</strong> <strong>SEB</strong> strives to cultivate<br />

and build up <strong>the</strong> loyalty of its shareholder base while<br />

pursuing an active policy of dialogue and information aimed<br />

at existing and potential shareholders.<br />

GROUPE <strong>SEB</strong> PLEASED TO MEET YOU<br />

Direct contact being <strong>the</strong> best way to ensure a good understanding<br />

of <strong>the</strong> company’s day-to-day operations, we try to engage in<br />

regular dialogue with our shareholders – beyond <strong>the</strong> customary<br />

Annual General Meeting. In 2007, for example, meetings in France<br />

were arranged in Lyons, Lille, Marseilles and Nantes for a total<br />

of 1,200 shareholders. To give a better picture of <strong>the</strong> Group’s<br />

industrial context, we also organized a factory visit for some<br />

30 members of an investor club to our Mayenne plant which manufactures<br />

food and beverage preparation equipment. In parallel, we<br />

maintain close links with financial analysts (including some 20<br />

regulars) who follow <strong>the</strong> progress of <strong>the</strong> <strong>SEB</strong> share. In this way we<br />

help <strong>the</strong>m to better understand <strong>the</strong> Group and its trading context<br />

and ensure that <strong>the</strong>y are fully informed. We also maintain direct<br />

and regular contact with institutional investors (over 200 contacts<br />

during 2007).<br />
