Sustainability
Sustainability is the path of our decisions
Grupo Carrefour Brasil is committed to minimizing environmental impact, promoting social well-being, and contributing to economic prosperity. To this end, the sustainability agenda was structured around three major pillars: fighting hunger and inequalities, inclusion and diversity, and protecting the planet and biodiversity.
The company reinforces the importance of collaboration of the entire ecosystem to lead necessary changes. Our commitment to Human Rights and Environmental Protection is based on International Labour Organization (ILO) documents and other UN agreements, such as the Global Compact (GC), Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP), in addition to applicable local legislation.
Every year, the Group publishes its Sustainability Report, detailing the ESG performance, always valuing ethics, transparency and accountability to all our stakeholders. For more information, visit the Grupo Carrefour Brasil’s Sustainability website.
In the pillar of fighting hunger and inequalities, the Group operates in structural and emergency actions, acting both in the transformation and inclusion of the value chain and in the generation of income and employment, as well as in initiatives to support communities in situations of social vulnerability.
In the pillar of inclusion and diversity, the Group acts strongly in the agendas of combating racism, gender equality and the inclusion of people with disabilities.
In the pillar of protecting the planet and biodiversity, the Group focuses on the agendas of decarbonization, circular economy and preservation of forests and biodiversity, in addition to combating deforestation, especially that linked to the production chains that supply the various stores.
