THE FOUNDATION’S COMMITMENT
Dan Anghel
Director of the Carrefour Constanta
hypermarket in Bucharest (Romania)
“I feel really proud to have been
able to mobilise a team of
60 checkout staff in the UNICEF
‘
Hai la scoala!
’ project
(1)
.
This was a collaborative, tangible
and very meaningful success story,
strengthening our determination
to support the solidarity actions
carried out by the Group.”
Kerry Chen
Solidarity project manager at Carrefour
Taiwan Foundation (Taiwan)
“My job enables me to take
stock of the inequalities
and suffering all around us
and testify to the progress made
by the associations we support
and their impact on the
communities they assist.”
Jérôme Bédier
Chairman of the Foundation
General Secretary of the Carrefour group
“Food is an essential need
and is also our core business
as a retailer. It is impossible not
to be affected by the problems
of exclusion linked to food today.
By operating freely throughout
the Group, the Foundation
highlights and energises Carrefour’s
commitment to quality food
that is accessible to as many people
as possible. Through its
decentralised mode of operation,
it plays a leading role, reinforcing
the solidarity actions that are
implemented and made reality
every day by Carrefour teams the
world over, in the field, alongside
local communities and in close
touch with their needs.”
Sophie Chaumont
Human resources manager
at the Combs-la-Ville warehouse (France)
“Our warehouse is working
alongside
Emmaüs Défi
to help
those in great difficulty.
This commitment is facilitated
and encouraged by the company,
through skills-sharing and the
recruitment of a person via
a job-creation scheme.”
José Carlos Jordão Neto
Social ambassador for the Carrefour
hypermarket in Penha (Brazil)
“Small gestures can lead
to big changes. Guiding young
apprentices and co-ordinating
the skills-sharing programme
in our store makes me feel
really proud.”
