Our CSR policy

Séraphines Commitment to Social Responsibility

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the concept of businesses integrating social and environmental concerns into their operations. At Séraphine, we're deeply committed to this principle.

We prioritize environmental sustainability by favoring local sourcing (short circuits) and using high-quality products from responsible agriculture and production methods.

To learn more about our comprehensive CSR policy and daily commitments, please explore our charter. You'll also discover some of our key partnerships that contribute to these goals.
