Our mission
The Carrefour Foundation
is an actor of social progress,
using its resources to reduce
poverty, encourage professional
integration and facilitate social
inclusion of those in difficulty,
across two main lines of action:
food solidarity
and
emergency
humanitarian aid.
In keeping with the Group’s
core business as a retailer, the
Foundation collaborates with
Carrefour’s various philanthropic
structures in the countries in
which it is present to accompany,
support, encourage and develop
their respective solidarity
initiatives and those of local
non-profit associations.
By mobilising the resources,
energy and motivation
of Carrefour employees,
the Foundation coordinates
and implements solidarity
initiatives tailored to the needs
of the populations concerned.
Food solidarity
The Foundation acts to reduce
exclusion by supporting solidarity
projects in the public interest.
Innovation for food solidarity
