Employing more than 490,000 people and working with thousands of suppliers give our Group special responsibilities.
As a company active worldwide, Carrefour is committed to building sustainable relationships with our suppliers and partners. We deal with an extensive range of players, and our commitment to them is based on a desire for real progress, which in turn guarantees relationships that are both honourable and sustainable.

In 2004, the Group adopted a Code of Ethics submitted for signature to Group management and new recruits. Updated and precised it has been renamed Code of Conduct in 2007. This Code of Conduct expresses the Group’s core values and commitments and formalizes standards of ethical conduct to be adopted every day both in-house and externally with the Group's stakeholders.

As a responsible player in the world economy, it is up to the Carrefour Group to work for the respect for universal fundamental rights internally, as well as externally.

In order to preserve the rights of its employees worldwide, Carrefour has signed an agreement with the UNI (Union Network International) in 2001.

Regarding the respect for these rights within its supply chain, the Group has been working since more than 10 years with the FIDH (Federation for Human Rights) and pools the results of its social audits within the framework of the French standard ICS (Social Clause Initiative). Extending its approach, the Group has been involving since 2006 in the GSCP programme (Global Social Compliance) in order to better assert the workers rights within the global supply chain.
