Séché Environnement, an innovative player in waste management, operates in the field of circular economy and decarbonization.
Thanks to its activities, the Group contributes to the preservation of natural resources, the climate, and biodiversity, while generating value for its clients, both in the public and private sectors.
The waste management sector is at the heart of the ecological transition. Beyond the environmental imperative of waste treatment — aimed at controlling its hazardousness and eliminating pollution — there is a need to reduce its volume and make use of it.
Séché Environnement’s circular economy solutions complement these core activities. Recycling and regeneration help replace high environmental-impact virgin raw materials with recycled materials. The establishment of local energy circuits helps reduce the carbon footprint in industry, the service sector, and/or residential settings. Decontamination and rehabilitation activities address the impact of historical pollution and help preserve biodiversity by preventing the use of natural or agricultural land.
Séché Environnement continues to grow both internally and externally, investing in its core businesses while expanding into new markets. With the acquisition of ECO, the leading hazardous waste management company in Singapore, the Group will finally open up to the dynamic industrial markets of Southeast Asia, among the most vibrant in the world.
The entry into force of the European CSRD* (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) in 2024 requires companies to disclose their ESG (environmental, social, and governance) policies and actions. More than a regulatory requirement, this directive serves as a tool to better structure and promote our corporate commitment to greater sustainability, while providing an opportunity for the Group to further enhance transparency and credibility in its long-term commitments.
I have confidence in the Group’s ability to stay on its path of innovation and growth while also addressing the sustainability challenges of our time.

The objective of this document is to present the broad outlines of our approach to sustainable development. It also includes an individual code of conduct providing rules of conduct. These rules, combined with everyone’s sense of responsibility, serve as a reference for the entire Group.
Wherever we are present, these guidelines are intended to be deployed across all sites and our value chain (including customers and suppliers). Beyond the stated commitments, it is imperative that our activities are carried out in accordance with national and international laws with which we are strictly required to comply.
It is essential to remember that our culture of ethics and compliance results from the commitment of all our employees. It is a precious heritage that we must constantly nurture and cultivate to ensure the
