[HIGHLIGHTS] How Carrefour wants to promote the diversity of origin of its employees

The mass distribution brand presented this Tuesday an action plan in favor of diversity of origin. Carrefour carried out a vast study among its employees in France in order to know their origins.

Only 9% of those from diverse backgrounds are managers, says CEO Alexandre Bompard. “This is the first time that a large French company has gone this far in diagnosing its diversity,” he says, adding that the law could be more sensitive to the subject. The brand also intends to recruit more candidates from diverse. backgrounds “by going to universities where we are not very present, such as Créteil, Saint-Denis, Nanterre”
