During Expo 2015 inMilan, the
Italian Federation of Food Banks
recovered 50 tons of food products
from the different national
pavilions and restaurants, which
were kept in a refrigerated

Carrefour Foundation.
These products were redistributed
to 14 partner NGOs, which in turn
helped over 6,500 people.

circle. In 2015, the Carrefour
Foundation supported the
development of a logistics and IT
platform to redistribute products
