Our ESG strategy is based on three priority areas, aligned with our daily operations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong style=\"font-family: 'Funnel Display', Georgia, serif;font-size: 1.75rem;letter-spacing: -0.0625rem\">Circular Economy and Local Business<\/strong><\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Circular Economy<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Managing hundreds of thousands of claims also means making choices. We prioritize repair and reconditioning to limit waste and extend the lifespan of equipment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Our priority: repair first, recondition second, and limit new purchases to what is strictly necessary. For example, in 2024, SPB UK &amp; Ireland implemented this strategy in practice:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left\">\n<li>61% of devices were repaired<\/li>\n<li>34% replaced with refurbished ones<\/li>\n<li>Only 5% replaced with new ones<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">100% of recovered and replaced devices were recycled. Zero waste to landfill.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Proximity<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">We offer local services: home repairs, self-access drop-off areas, local partner centers, and remote video diagnostics.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">By limiting transportation, packaging, and the production of new equipment, we significantly reduce the carbon footprint of our services, while maintaining a high level of quality and responsiveness.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">To go further, SPB is launching Cirkl Partners, its brand dedicated to the repair, refurbishment, and recycling of everyday objects.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">A concrete approach for a circular and responsible economy.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left\"><strong style=\"color: #333333\">Parity, Diversity, and Inclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Parity<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">54% of SPB Group&#8217;s management positions are held by women.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">They are fully represented in the Group&#8217;s governance bodies, demonstrating a genuine commitment to equality at all levels of decision-making.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">In France, SPB achieved a score of 84\/100 on the 2024 Gender Equality Index.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Diversity &amp; Inclusion<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Present in 12 countries, SPB relies on multicultural, multigenerational teams with diverse backgrounds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">We are convinced that this human richness fuels the quality of our decisions and supports our collective performance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">A Group Diversity &amp; Inclusion policy is currently being developed to ensure an environment where all individuals feel welcomed, valued, and involved in the company&#8217;s collective dynamic.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left\"><strong style=\"color: #333333\">Customer Protection<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Defending Customer Value<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">We pay particular attention to the value we provide to customers within each of our programs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">We measure this in particular through our claims acceptance rates, which reflect our ability to deliver on our promise to protect customers when they need it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">For example, in the mobile telephony sector, our claims acceptance rate reaches 85%.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">This is concrete proof of our commitment to providing services that are meaningful to our customers.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Customer Data Protection<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">SPB processes the personal data of 50 million policyholders across Europe every day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">This volume demonstrates the trust our customers place in us and demands the highest standards of rigor and compliance from us. Our governance is based on a solid and consistent framework:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left\">\n<li>GDPR compliance across all our entities<\/li>\n<li>ISO 27001 certifications in the United Kingdom and Italy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">At SPB, compliance in the service of our clients cannot be improvised: it must be structured, managed, and implemented daily.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n            \n        <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"--last --prev--hero-insight --prev-diff-bg\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":883,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true},"categories":[3],"tags":[22],"class_list":["post-882","insight","type-insight","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-esg"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
