SOLIDARITY ALSOMEANS
Beyond the actions carried out
by the Carrefour Foundation,
solidarity is at the heart of the
commitments of the Group as
a whole, in its daily work in the
community. A commitment
that is all the more powerful
because it is shared by all.
Carrefour,
acommitted
enterprise
Through its daily partnership with over
100 million clients, as a committed
economic player and a leading
employer, Carrefour reaffirms its
responsibilities in terms of solidarity
and uses its core business as a retailer
to combat all forms of exclusion. With
its 10,860 stores and its local
knowledge of the territory, the Group
is working every day, through a range
of approaches tailored to real needs,
mobilising the skills and know-how
of its staff, to make an effective and
lasting contribution to the well-being
of the surrounding communities.
The sumof solidarity actions
Carrefour supports a large number
of local, national and international
programmes, managed by the
Carrefour Foundation, implemented
by teams of staff volunteers from the
various countries, alongside local
foundations and the Group’s stores
and warehouses. Organising
collections, donations of food and
other products, providing logistics
support, assistance to non-profit
organisations and skill-sharing –
these are all ways in which the Group
invests in local, tangible actions,
alongside NGOs, aiming to strengthen
the links between people, while
assisting and aiding those in difficulty.
Together, fostering social
inclusion
To do this, Carrefour encourages
the lasting involvement of its men
and women, through both one-off
and long-term actions. Drawing on
their rich professional and personal
experience, they work every day
from one end of the chain of
solidarity to the other, with a common
spirit and enthusiasm. Together,
they ensure the coherence,
performance and success of
the actions they undertake. In
this way, both staff and clients
are at the very heart of the local
actions carried out by Carrefour.
Each commitment represents
one more step towards solidarity.
