The charter requires compliance with the core conventions of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the principles of the UN Global Compact (detailed in Section 2.3.4.3). The charter also applies to suppliers of non-Carrefour-brand products, and therefore establishes the framework within which all Group suppliers must conduct their activities. Since 2007, Carrefour has provided all of its suppliers with a sustainable development self-assessment test online. Its framework, developed in conjunction with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF ® ), is based on the ISO 26000 social responsibility standard. Carrefour has taken steps to share this test. It is now available to four federations based on the same ISO standard. The first shared self-assessment campaign was launched in 2017. Carrefour’s performance Carrefour has shared with its suppliers the know-how it has acquired over the last ten years in conducting self-assessment tests and has helped to roll out a test for the entire sector. This new test, called Valorise, is currently being implemented by all of the Group’s suppliers. The 2017 results reflect a year of transition.

For this purpose, Carrefour has put in place a set of tools and procedures for monitoring its suppliers and helping them achieve compliance. The commitment of suppliers of Carrefour-brand products to human rights is reflected first and foremost through their signature of a Social and Ethical Standards Charter which is an integral part of all procurement contracts in all of Carrefour’s countries of operation. Initially drawn up in 2000, the charter is based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the ILO fundamental conventions. The charter contains nine chapters on human rights: the prohibition of forced or compulsory labour; 1. the prohibition of child labour; 2. respect for freedom of association and the right to collective 3. bargaining; the prohibition of all forms of discrimination, harassment and 4. violence; workers’ health and safety; 5. decent wages, benefits and working conditions; 6. working hours; 7. anti-corruption; 8. environmental responsibility. 9.
