CSR POLICY
COMMITMENTS
We analyse each material challenge associated with our activities. Five main areas of impact have been identified: products, stores, customers, partners and employees. For each of them, the Group defines and deploys a dedicated CSR policy in consultation with its stakeholders. This CSR policy takes the form of specific commitments linked to quantified goals.

CSR COMMITMENTS TO IMPROVE BIODIVERSITY
The food industry is highly dependent on biodiversity, so preserving biodiversity is an industry imperative. However, biodiversity is in an unprecedented global decline caused by five main factors significantly exacerbated by the food industry:
- changes in how land is used;
- water, soil and air pollution and the resulting reduction in water quality;
- direct exploitation of certain organisms;
- climate change;
- the spread of invasive alien species. Carrefour has a responsibility to preserve biodiversity and is involved in several initiatives to limit both its own impact and that of other links in its value chain. Furthermore, consumer behaviour is at a turning point. Consumer expectations are constantly changing: they want more information, better quality products and greater transparency, and rightly so.
