Carrefour - 2017 Registration Document

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Carrefour’s human resources policy 2017 REGISTRATION DOCUMENT | CARREFOUR 2. 86 Examples in 2017 Carrefour Argentina continued implementing its “360°” disability ● action plan in 2017 : Over 100 managers and Directors received training in how to ● recruit and integrate disabled employees. Awareness workshops were led by disabled people in stores. ● Other workshops help support employees in dealing with disabled customers. A partnership was set up with an organisation focused on mental disabilities to collect donations and support children with Down’s syndrome. A joint project was initiated with the supplier Colgate to ● advance the employment of people with disabilities. Under the partnership with Défense Mobilité, an organisation ● that helps former military personnel find employment, and CABAT, a ministry of defence cell which provides assistance to wounded army personnel, several employment support initiatives were taken in France, including 17 resettlements of former military personnel and six participations by recruitment consultants in army mobility job forums to advise more than 50 officers seeking new career opportunities. Six wounded veterans under the CABAT programme are currently taking on-the-job training at hypermarkets and warehouses. The seventh and fifth agreements on the employment of ● workers with disabilities and maintaining disabled workers in the workforce were signed at France Hypermarkets and Supermarkets respectively, as well as a new agreement at Supply Chain. The “Director, a central role in supporting disabled people” training course was included in the general training programme for future Carrefour Market store directors. Carrefour France Supply Chain took part in the Free Handi’se Trophy race for the fourth year running. This intercompany competition aims to change people’s views and behaviour regarding employees with disabilities. Three Carrefour teams, each made up of two disabled and two non-disabled employees, took up the challenge. Carrefour France Hypermarkets and Supermarkets also supported the Rêves de Gosse campaign to help disabled children make their dream come true of flying for the first time. Carrefour China has stepped up its efforts since 2016 to recruit ● more disabled people and has now reached a percentage level of 1.9% of its total staff, above the legal requirement of 0.4%. In 2017, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Carrefour China signed the charter of the national business and disability network, inspired by the ILO’s Global Business and Disability Network. Thanks to a partnership with the ONCE Foundation (the main ● body in Spain to promote the employment of disabled persons), Carrefour Spain employs more than 900 disabled persons. As a result, Carrefour Spain won the EASPD (European Association of Service Providers for Persons with Disabilities) “Employment for All” award, and shared its experience with delegates at an LADAPT (association for the social and professional integration of disabled people) conference held in Madrid during European Disability Employment Week. Carrefour Belgium participated in the third edition of the ● nationwide Duoday campaign, under which disabled workers work with a manager for several days.
