Tefal

How ethical is Tefal?

Tefal is an appliance brand which is famous for its non-stick cooking pans launched in 1954 by their creator Marc Gregoire in France. Tefal has since developed its line to include various domestic appliances.

Tefal has achieved an acceptable score on The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Kitchen Appliances Ratings Table but Ethical Accreditation has not yet been achieved. This is important because it provides additional warranty on the company’s wider ethical, sustainable, and social policies and records.

In which areas does Tefal perform well?

Tefal performs well for most of our criteria, especially those relating to its Environmental Report and Code of Conduct. Parent company, Groupe SEB, has a Sustainable Development Strategy including plenty of targets, and a charter with specific rules relating to child labour and working hours.

 

The above benchmark score that Tefal is awarded on The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Kitchen Appliances Ratings Table is the result of an evaluation of multiple ethical criteria.

 

What can Tefal do to improve its ethical score?

Tefal is encouraged to apply for Ethical Accreditation. If successful in its application, Tefal would join the certified ethical brands leading the way in progressive and sustainable practices and be permitted to display The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Mark in its communications.
