“Wood heating is, in fact, currently the most sustainable energy source, both economically and environmentally.”

Pascal Cornet, CEO of the SEGUIN Group

Since 1976, the SEGUIN Group has been designing, manufacturing, and distributing high-performance, reliable, and environmentally friendly thermal control and energy generation solutions. This is a mission we pursue with conviction, and one that guides every decision we make: to balance energy efficiency with environmental responsibility.

Based in Auvergne, our family-owned business draws its strength from tradition while innovating to meet the challenges of the future.

Our commitment is not based on trends or obligations, but on a deep-seated desire: to act sustainably for our communities, our customers, and our planet. Our actions reflect our values and our collective responsibility.

The 4 pillars of our commitment

Local roots

Our local roots are no accident—they are a choice. From our historic headquarters in Randan, we actively contribute to the economic and social vitality of rural communities. By creating jobs, fostering regional partnerships, and supporting local initiatives, we build sustainable and resilient ecosystems.

The SEGUIN Group comprises:
5 manufacturing facilities and 2 integrated testing laboratories that foster local innovation;
350 employees, including 120 in Randan, creating strong community ties; and
a QUALIOPI-certified training center that shares

its know-how and expertise with over 500 professionals each year.It is also our responsibility to help maintain a thriving economic fabric in our rural areas […]. Our Group is also defined by strong convictions and commitments, foremost among which are our local roots and our deep-seated determination to fully play our role within the regions where we operate.”
—Pascal Cornet, CEO of the SEGUIN Group

By fostering relationships based on trust and closeness, we strengthen vibrant and dynamic communities, for today and tomorrow.

Economical

We believe that sustainable growth is growth that benefits both the company and society. Every investment we make is guided by this conviction. Modernizing our equipment, optimizing our processes, and anticipating regulatory changes are the strategies we employ to ensure competitiveness and sustainability.

7 million euros invested over 5 years to modernize our production facilities; consolidated revenue of
100 million euros, the result of balanced and visionary management;
a strategy focused on quality and continuous improvement, minimizing after-sales service calls and aiming for 100% regulatory compliance.

Because innovation also means considering future generations, we are taking action today to build a resilient and respectful business model.

The Environment

Protecting our environment is at the heart of our mission. Not because we have to, but because it is our duty to act—and that is what we have been doing since our founding. Every device we design is engineered for optimal energy efficiency while minimizing its carbon footprint.

Our 2022 carbon footprint report demonstrates transparency: 222,582 tons of CO2 emitted, 92% of which is linked to the use of our appliances. This finding fuels our commitment to innovate and guide our customers toward more responsible consumption.

Our concrete commitments:
Optimize product usage and extend product lifespans through educational kits such as the “First Fire” kit and a dedicated
customer portal; reduce waste and prioritize recyclable materials;
generate green energy with solar installations and expand our production capacity.

Our goals by 2029:
100% of appliances achieving an efficiency rating of over 77%.
Installation of charging stations at our French sites.

Our commitment extends beyond our borders: we support the Plantons pour l’Avenir fund, contributing to the sustainable management of 66.7 hectares of forest and the planting of over 81,000 trees.

The ECOVADIS Bronze Medal, renewed at the end of 2025, is a recognition of our efforts, but above all an encouragement to go further.

People at the heart of the system

People are and always will be at the heart of everything we do. It is the men and women of the SEGUIN Group who shape our success every day. That is why their well-being, safety, and professional fulfillment are our top priorities.

We place prevention and training at the heart of our corporate policy: Systematic
inclusion of a prevention component during new employee orientation;
a goal to reduce the number of annual workplace accidents per site to fewer than 5 by 2026;
100% of health and safety training completed and regularly updated.
We have introduced a one-hour fitness class at our Randan headquarters to offer our employees a moment of well-being and energy during their workday.
We have completely renovated common areas and facilities to provide a more pleasant and welcoming environment for everyone.

Our commitment extends beyond our walls: by supporting local initiatives, from the W7 Randan rugby club to the Guérinet Festival, we contribute to the social and cultural vitality of our communities.

What about tomorrow?

The future is shaped by the actions we take today. It is our responsibility to keep moving forward, innovating, and improving. We will continue our efforts to:

• Sustainably reduce our carbon footprint by following a clearly defined trajectory (carbon pathway set at 12,000 tons over a 3-year period)
• Develop even more efficient and environmentally friendly heating solutions
• Support our customers in adopting more responsible and sustainable consumption
• Strengthen the training of our teams in quality, health, safety, and environmental practices

For the SEGUIN Group, CSR is not merely a framework for action: it is the very driving force behind our company. This is because every decision we make is guided by the conviction that a more sustainable and inclusive future is not only possible, but necessary.

We build tomorrow together

Is it possible to balance industrial performance, social responsibility, and a positive impact on local communities?
The SEGUIN Group is convinced it is—and, above all, we work every day to prove it.

With “Building Tomorrow Together,” our web series dedicated to corporate social responsibility, we invite you to discover firsthand how these commitments are being put into practice within the Group. Over the course of several episodes, this series gives a voice to the men and women who bring SEGUIN to life and highlights the initiatives that are helping to transform our industry.

Innovation, the energy transition, community engagement, skills development, and evolving industrial practices: each episode highlights a different aspect of SEGUIN’s efforts to build a more sustainable and responsible model.

A simple and transparent way to demonstrate that, for SEGUIN, corporate social responsibility goes beyond mere commitments: above all, it translates into concrete and measurable actions that benefit our teams, local communities, and future generations.
