In 2011, for the third time, Groupe SEB drew up a balance sheet of its
greenhouse gas emissions related to the transport of products, materials,
and components. This new assessment estimated worldwide greenhouse
gas emissions at an average of 250,325 metric tons of CO 2 equivalent. The
emissions related to the Group’s transport activities therefore decreased,
despite an increase in sales. This change is due both to the eco-logistics

efforts made by Groupe SEB entities (including improved load factors and
the use of alternative modes of transport), and to the increased accuracy of
the calculations performed (thus, less uncertainty regarding the assessment).
While almost 60% of data were extrapolated in 2010, only 26% were
extrapolated in 2011.

* The reliability of this indicator was improved, which led us to exclude externally treated effl uents and waste oil for this year.
In 2011, 82.8% of the Group’s non-hazardous waste was treated in recycling systems and 7.4% was used to produce energy. The Group also kept track of
its metal waste and WEEE* from production waste, which amounted to 6,250 and 320 metric tons, respectively, for this year.

The Lagostina (Italy) site was ISO-14001 certifi ed at year-end 2011.
NB: In this table, the three Supor sites (China) and the Imusa site (Colombia)
holding environmental certifi cation awarded by a local organisation are not
considered to be ISO 14001-certifi ed under Groupe SEB terms. An action
plan is under way to ensure that these sites progressively evolve to reach
Groupe SEB standards.
