Respect for the Environment

SETH is proud to have implemented eco-efficiency measures at its head office. From the outset it was assumed that the protection and conservation of the environment was a concern, not only for the need to meet the requirements of applicable legislation but also one that called for an effort to apply the principles of sustainable development. To this end, all employees are committed to fulfilment of the Environmental Policy and of the rules established in the Environmental Management System implemented.

Supporting Community

Through its sponsorship at various levels Seth has long made donations to various institutions engaged in humanitarian and solidarity activities at home and abroad. For the company this sponsorship is not only for the short-term purpose of image or financial return, but is mainly put into practice with the clear understanding that it serves the needs of civil society.

Of the support granted by means of sponsorship, we would highlight:
