As a major player in the B2B sector, we are committed to supporting our clients in their transition towards more responsible practices.
Choosing sustainable products, rethinking certain purchasing habits, integrating eco-responsibility into your processes… These are actions that matter — and they should be simple. Our responsibility does not stop at the doors of our offices: it extends to our partners, our employees, and the environment. That is why we take concrete action to encourage eco-responsible consumption and promote sustainable alternatives. This is our way of contributing, at our scale, to a positive and lasting change — and it is something we deeply care about.
Environmental responsibility is at the heart of our business strategy. We do everything possible to make it easier for our professional clients to adopt more sustainable purchasing practices, while at the same time reducing our own environmental impact.
As a B2B supplier, we have a responsibility within the value chain, and we choose to put our expertise at the service of more sustainable solutions. We have therefore rethought our offering to encourage more sustainable purchasing behaviors.
We have created a dedicated space bringing together all environmentally friendly products: items made in France and Europe, eco-labeled products, refurbished solutions, and equipment that is repairable or rechargeable.
Our rigorous selection favors durable and reusable materials, helping reduce waste and optimize your investment in the long term.
When validating your cart, we automatically suggest more eco-friendly alternatives to the products you selected, allowing you to make more responsible choices with ease.
We place particular importance on the well-being and fulfillment of our employees, convinced that a responsible company starts by taking care of those who bring it to life every day.
Convinced that sustainable performance relies on engaged and valued teams, we implement concrete actions to create an ethical, inclusive, and stimulating work environment.
Taking care of the people who contribute to our development every day is not only a duty, it is a deep conviction that guides our decisions and shapes our corporate culture.
Our inclusive recruitment policy promotes diversity within our teams. Today, 60% of our employees are women, and young people under 25 are widely represented, creating a rich and dynamic work environment.
We offer flexible working hours for SBE employees. This flexibility allows everyone to find a healthy balance between professional and personal life.
We invest in ergonomic workstations with chairs adapted to each employee and two screens per person. These arrangements strictly comply with current health and safety standards, promoting daily comfort.
We are committed to contributing to the training of younger generations. Every year, we welcome apprentices and interns to introduce them to the fields of e-commerce as well as asset and personal security identification.
Reducing our environmental footprint also involves responsible management of our paper and digital resources. We have implemented strict policies to minimize our consumption and optimize our practices in these often overlooked areas.
Each department is involved in this process, with clear objectives and concrete actions to follow on a daily basis. This collective approach enables us to make lasting progress towards a more efficient and responsible way of operating.
In just three years, we have reduced our paper consumption by 90%, thanks to a series of concrete and sustainable actions implemented across all our departments. This transition towards a more responsible use of resources is fully in line with our environmental commitment:
Aware that digital pollution is an increasing reality, we have adopted more sustainable practices in data management:
This dual approach allows us to significantly reduce our environmental impact while increasing operational efficiency.
The fight against climate change represents a major challenge for all companies, regardless of their sector of activity. We are fully aware of our role and responsibility in this ecological transition.
That is why we have implemented several concrete initiatives aimed at significantly reducing our carbon footprint at every stage of our value chain.
Our commitment is guided by a clear ambition: to actively contribute to an economic model that is more respectful of resources and future generations.
SBE is committed to a more sustainable industry by prioritizing predominantly local manufacturing: 80% of our products are made in Europe, including 60% in France. This production model reduces our carbon footprint, supports the local economy, and promotes short supply chains. By producing closer to home, we combine environmental responsibility, industrial ethics, and product excellence.
Our offices in La Défense are part of the OPERAT program (Observatory for Energy Performance, Renovation and Actions in the Tertiary Sector), which aims to reduce energy consumption in service-sector companies according to a clear timeline: -40% by 2030, -50% by 2040, and -60% by 2050.
We use exclusively low-consumption LED lighting and optimize our use of heating and electricity through intelligent energy management systems.
We have implemented a strict waste sorting system in all our offices and warehouses, allowing us to efficiently recycle packaging and other materials. Our goal is to minimize the waste sent to landfill.
We systematically group orders to limit transportation and associated emissions. Whenever possible, we prioritize local suppliers (France and Europe) to reduce delivery distances and support the local economy.
At SBE, we understand the crucial importance of reliable and fast product identification. Our approach is built on decades of expertise in barcode technologies, including sophisticated labels and state-of-the-art printing systems.
