Groupe Seb

Groupe SEB, a French retail trade services company, reported total emissions of approximately 32.01 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This includes about 54.98 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, 148.99 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and 31.80 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. A significant portion of their Scope 3 emissions in 2025 stemmed from the use of sold products (26.65 billion kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (4.43 billion kg CO2e).

Looking back, Groupe SEB's total emissions were approximately 32.52 billion kg CO2e in 2024, and about 31.03 billion kg CO2e in 2023. In 2021, their total emissions were higher, at approximately 35.26 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 78.51 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 187.54 million kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 at about 34.99 billion kg CO2e.

Groupe SEB has set ambitious climate commitments. They aim to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, reducing Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 90% against a 2021 baseline and neutralising residual emissions. For near-term targets, they intend to reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030 from a 2021 baseline. Furthermore, they plan to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions by 25% within the same timeframe, focusing on purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution, and the use of sold products. These targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as consistent with keeping warming to 1.5°C.

Earlier commitments included reducing energy consumption by 20% in production sites (from a 2010 baseline to 2020) and a 20% reduction in energy consumption of electrical products (from a 2013 baseline to 2020). They also aimed for a 25% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from the transport of products and components per unit transported (from a 2013 baseline to 2020). Another intensity target included a 1% reduction in GHG emissions from plants (Scopes 1 and 2) per manufactured product by 2023 from a 2016 base year. They also aimed for a 15% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions related to product usage per product sold from a 2016 base year to 2023.
