Using our skills in the service of

solidarity

It is recognized nowadays that

those in the business world

have a responsibility or social

progress. As a retailer, we can combat social

exclusion through our business activit ies. And that

is precisely what our team members do every

day, through solidarity structures in our BUs and

with the support o the Carreour International

Foundation.

So every day, in our stores, they organize the

collection o products that have been withdrawn

rom sale but are sae to eat, and these are then

given to charities to eed the most needy. In 2007,

Carreour collected the equivalent o 30 million

meals in this way. The Carreour International

Foundation also helps to buy rerigerated trucks

to enable the organisations to transport these

oodstus.

Solidarity is an act o generosity, so our

employees also organize collections o products

among our customers. They help, too, to manage

welare grocery stores fnanced by the Carreour

International Foundation.

We can be very proud o all these activities.

The Carreour groups most recent corporate

publicity campaign pays tribute to them and

reminds all our customers that in the Carreour

group, being useul every day is also using our

business to serve solidarity.

The Carreour group spent the equivalent o e2.3 million in

the most urgent needs and as soon as the catastrophe was

announced, the Carreour group paid out a grant o 2 million

Yuan (e200,000) to the Chinese Red Cross that very night via

The Carrefour International Foundation has been supporting the growth of theA.N.D.E.S. network since 2006. Two years into the sponsorship period, GuillaumeBapst, Director of A.N.D.E.S., gave an initial review of the support provided bythe Foundation.

the purpose o which is to ensure the ongoing development

and autonomy o the A.N.D.E.S. network. The Groups three-

year commitment provides real economic stability, allows

us to plan or the long term and lastly gives us an operating

method suitable to our grocery network.

The Carreour Group and the A.N.D.E.S. network are currently

studying the easibility o a pilot project to supply welare

groceries that would have a budget o e1 million derived

rom DGAS (General Social Welare Department) public unds.

A.N.D.E.S. would buy coupons rom the Group at cost price

that would be valid in Group stores and would be usable by

welare groceries. These coupons would give access to a

selection o 150 products o national brands that are targeted

as basic oodstus needed to prepare a meal and have

nutritional qualities compatible with the A.N.D.E.S. project. This

experiment would be the frst test phase o a program that

would be reproducible countrywide.

The Carreour International

Foundation has supported

us on several levels.

First and oremost, the

confdence shown in us

by the Foundation and itsteam is key to our progress.

It obliges us to provide still

better results and in this

sense, helps to drive the

project orward to success.

Also, the A.N.D.E.S. networks

activities resonate strongly with the core business o the

Carreour Group and the Foundation is helping to establish a

business sponsorship program to which the Group can, i it so

wishes, contribute its expertise.
