CARREFOUR - 2014 annual activity and responsible commitment report

CSROverview

Heralding from its belief that performance is alsomeasured by the contribution

made to Society, social responsibility has become an integral part of the Carrefour

group’s strategy. This performance, measured using both financial and non-financial

indicators, is the result of the search for continuous improvement involving the

Group’s business functions in all countries. The Group undertakes concrete actions

in the countries inwhich it operates. As part of a global approach, these actions

contribute to the company’s sustainable and responsible performance. The aim

of Carrefour’s actions in relation to social responsibility can be summed up as

“doing our jobwell” and aims to limit the use of resources by combating all forms

of waste, encourage to protect biodiversity and contribute to society by

supporting employees and company partners.
