Purchasing
By being both enablers and creators of value, our Purchasing teams play a decisive role in the Group’s performance. On a daily basis, we guarantee the best purchasing terms thanks to the recognized expertise of our markets and suppliers.
As an essential stakeholder in the Group’s projects and activities, we also provide advice and support to other business functions by sharing our know-how with them.
We develop the purchasing strategy, define supplier panels, build relationships of trust and negotiate all our contracts with our partners.
We are also constantly seeking to find the right balance between costs, delivery times and the quality of the products and services we offer to our internal customers, while ensuring compliance with Groupe SEB’s social and environmental requirements.
Responsible Purchasing Charter
It is very important to us that all of our suppliers, no matter which country they are based in, respect Human Rights and the ethical, social and environmental requirements that we consider to be fundamental and essential to ensure a good working relationship between us. The Groupe SEB Responsible Purchasing Charter presents the commitments we require from all of our suppliers as well as the commitments we make towards them.
