WORKING FOR
DIVERSITY AND EQUAL
OPPORTUNITIES
In the countries where it operates,
the Group stands out for its sustained policy in favour
of diversity and equal opportunities, and against
all forms of discrimination.
C
arrefour acts in a practical and
consistentmanner togiveeveryone,
everywhere the same recruitment
and career development oppor-
tunities, without distinguishing
between sex, age, background
or qualifications. This policy
consists of various mechanisms which are
implemented at all levels: Group and national
agreements finalised with social partners,
a Diversity Charter, programmes developed
with the backing of international organ-
isations (the UN, the International Federation
for Human Rights, the International Labour
Organisation), collaborations on the ground
with NGOs and other associations, and
so on.
Within this framework and with these tools,
Carrefour’s stores and entities are working
on a daily basis to promote employee divers-
itywithin their teams. In thisway, our employees
represent the diversity of the society, the
surroundings, and their customers in order
to better understand them and anticipate
their requirements.
