Groupe SEB announced that at the meeting on February 21, 2024, the board of directors proposed the distribution of a dividend per share of ?2.62 in respect of the 2023 financial year, up 6.9% versus the dividend paid in 2023. This increase not only illustrates the return to profitable growth observed in 2023, but also the board's confidence in the Group's ability to continue its trajectory toward responsible development in both Consumer and Professional businesses.
