What is CSR?
CSR focuses on how a company manages its impact on society and the environment through its operations and interactions with stakeholders. It covers a wide range of areas, including workers’ rights, health and safety, community relations, environmental impact, financial transparency and business ethics.
Sebia's strategy
Based on the 7 pillars of the ISO 26000 Sebia wishes to make a pragmatic contribution to global sustainable development, and to go beyond simple compliance with the laws governing its activities.
Sebia’s CSR approach pays close attention to its practices, the decision to implement a program of concrete actions and regular communications to keep all stakeholders informed.
Our strategy is constructed around 4 main areas of action reminded in our Corporate and Social Responsability Charter:
Developing a responsible governance approach
Further to the CSR Commitment of the Board , Sebia has set up a CSR Steering Committee responsible for ensuring the implementation, monitoring and continuous improvement of our CSR approach.
Improving our social & societal commitment
Sebia considers all its employees to be the driving force behind its continuous progress. Sebia have chosen to go beyond the legal framework as part of our CSR strategy and implement several actions recommended by the ISO 26 000 standard and that can be consulted in our Corporate and Social Responsability Report.
Since 2024 Sebia has been committed to the UN Global Compact corporate responsibility initiative and its principles in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption.
Demonstrating ethical behavior towards our stakeholders
Because of its activity, its market position and its worldwide presence, Sebia must be an exemplary player, a company that unambiguously respects the fundamentals of professional ethics on a daily basis.
Sebia has developed a Code of ethics and business conduct to formalize its commitments and bring them to the attention of employees and external parties, so that they adopt the same ethical practices in line with the Group’s values and current regulations.
