Living better together at SOMFY
 
Living better together at SOMFY
 
It’s steaming hot: our annual activity report was released just a few days ago! It highlights our commitments and how we put them into practice in 2022. This issue also introduces our new editorial signature: “Living Better”.
 
Living Better is the result of everything we do at SOMFY on a daily basis, for the planet, our people and our customers. By giving it top billing in our activity report, we are aiming to strengthen our commitments. Our message is simple: at SOMFY, we are convinced that responsibility rhymes with utility.
 
This year’s report was designed as a magazine so you can flick through it, dip into it for info, put it to one side and then pick it up later, depending on your needs, interests, and the time you have available. Don’t know where to start? If you’re reading online, use filters to select content that interests you.
 
Among the activities covered are feedback on SOMFYscope, the redesign of one of our flagship products, and our environmental initiatives. It also contains our key figures for 2022, and an abundance of employees’ portraits!
 
An activity report is THE go-to corporate document. It is edited for you, for our customers, our suppliers, our prospective employees… Go on our somfy-group.com website to browse these new contents, share them, and get inspired by them!
 
 
Prepare to be amazed! Prepare to
