Solidarity is a core value for the Carrefour group, which underpins its social corporate responsibility and responsible citizen approach around the world. In every community- countries, cities and neighbourhoods- where it operates, it contributes to local development and acts to help disadvantaged areas and people in difficulty.
 

Acting at a global level and country level with the support of the Group’s employees

Solidarity actions are overseen at Group level by the Carrefour International Foundation and at the country level by dedicated bodies for a given country, the banners or the stores.
Since 2005, the Carrefour International Foundation which annual budget is 4.57 million euros, focused on two main missions: emergency reconstruction aid and the fight against social exclusion. It was active in the countries where the Group operates by supporting local teams, based on the involvement of employees, stores and local charity organization.

At a national level, in France for example, Carrefour Solidarity supported more than 2,000 initiatives and projects and sponsored more than 500 organizations in 2005.
