Carrefour
The Carrefour group is the world's second-largest retailer and the largest in Europe, currently operating four main grocery store formats: hypermarkets, supermarkets, hard discount and convenience stores. The Carrefour group has over 15,000 stores, either company-operated or franchises.
The group currently operates in three major markets: Europe, Latin America and Asia. With a presence in 33 countries, over 56% of group turnover derives from outside France where it was originally founded.
Carrefour is actively committed to promoting local economic development. Since retail activities are all about contact with people, the group consistently emphasizes local recruitment plus management and staff training on the job wherever they work. The group also seeks to support local suppliers, with some 90-95% of the products on its shelves sourced locally, depending on the country.
