As the No 1 retailer in Europe and No 2 worldwide, Carrefour aims to set the benchmark in modern retailing for the protection of health, consumer safety and the environment. This company mission is  expressed by seven core values: freedom- Responsibility-Sharing-Respect-Integrity-Solidarity- Progress.

Our global, responsible and progressive approach is organized at the Group level by the Sustainability Department and it is passed on at the level of the countries, retail banners and stores via a functional network of dedicated agents as well as by some 456,000 employees, each of whom works to promote sustainability in his or her domain. In this way, all Carrefour countries in europe, Latin America and Asia are mobilized to respond to local expectations and to implement a targeted policy that raises local standards while respecting the diversity of cultures and contexts.

Basing our actions on our core values, demonstrating our capacity to make a difference together, ensuring that our policies meet the expectations of our stakholders, opting for dialogue and partnership on an ongoing basis- these guiding principles represent a foundation for the responsible conduct of our business and our commitment to sustainable development
