SOCIAL GROCERY
STORES
Initiated by Carrefour
employees in 1995, the
PACTE network (
Pour Agir
Contre Toute Exclusion
–
to act against all exclusion)
includes 11 social grocery
stores in France which
the Carrefour Foundation
helps to develop and
supply. Carrefour products
are sorted, checked and
then put on sale at 20%
of their usual value, thereby
allowing the members
– selected in accordance
with their means – access
to everyday products at
low prices. The PACTE
social grocery stores also
provide access to
employment. They hire
people who have been
marginalised, often former
beneficiaries of the system
who, after having been
given retail training, can
access secure
employment.
