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.
Corporate and Social Responsibility
An approach aimed at valuing the positive impact of SEBIA on the Society, the Environment, our Clients, Partners and Employees.
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 European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), Sebia aims to contribute pragmatically to global sustainable development by going beyond mere 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.
This approach has, in fact, been recognised, and Sebia has been awarded a Bronze Medal – an accolade granted to the top 35% of companies assessed by EcoVadis over the 12 months preceding the date of the award. This medal reflects the quality of the company’s sustainable development management system and demonstrates its commitment to promoting transparency throughout the value chain.
Since 2024, Sebia has also been committed to the United Nations Global Compact’s corporate social responsibility initiative and its Ten Principles concerning human rights, labour standards, the environment and anti-corruption.
Its strategy focuses on the following areas, as set out in the Corporate and Social Responsability Charter:
Improving our social & societal commitment
In a context where our company’s performance depends as much on its competitiveness and capacity for innovation as on its social commitment, Sebia has implemented a Responsible Procurement Policy that reinforces its ambition to fully integrate ethical, environmental, social and economic considerations into all its procurement decisions and the management of its supplier relationships. All our commitments, progress and actions can be found in our CSR Report.
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](https://doc.com) 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.
