[ka?fu?]
ⓘ
) is a French multinational retail and wholesaling corporation headquartered in
Massy
, France. The
seventh-largest retailer in the world
by revenue, it operates a chain of

,

History
[
edit
]
The first Carrefour shop (not a hypermarket) opened in 1960, within suburban
Annecy
, near a
crossroads
(hence the name ―
carrefour
means
crossroads
in French). The group was created in 1958 by Marcel Fournier,
Denis Defforey
and Jacques Defforey,
[5]
who attended and were influenced by several seminars in the United States led by "the Pope of retail",
Bernardo Trujillo
.
The Carrefour group was the first in Europe to open a hypermarket, a large supermarket, and a
department store
under the same roof. They opened their first hypermarket on 15 June 1963 in
Sainte-Genevieve-des-Bois
, near Paris.
[6]
In September 2009, Carrefour updated its logo.
[7]
In May 2011, Carrefour reviewed its business situation under conditions of stagnant growth and increasing competition in France from rivals including
Casino Guichard-Perrachon SA
, and decided to invest €1.5 billion ($2.22 billion) to introduce the supermarket concept of Carrefour Planet in
Western Europe
.
In April 2015, Brazilian businessman
Abilio Diniz
revealed he was in talks to raise his 5.07 per cent stake in Carrefour and has the support of shareholders to take a board seat.
[8]
On 9 June 2017, the board of directors chose
Alexandre Bompard
as the new chairman and chief executive officer of Carrefour with effect as of 18 July 2017.
[9]
In 2017, Carrefour began working with a small French start-up, Expliceat, on a trial basis.
[10]
In January 2018, Alexandre Bompard announced a strategic plan for the company, entitled "Carrefour 2022", that seeks to make Carrefour the "leader of the food transition for all". The plan includes measures for better food and package sustainability, limitation of
food waste
, development of organic products, e-commerce partnerships, and two billion euros in annual investments from 2018 as well as organisational and cost reduction measures.
[11]
[12]
In the exceptional context of the
COVID-19 pandemic
, Carrefour is the first retailer to join
C'est qui le Patron ?
initiative to share its additional incomes related to COVID-19 to support people who are suffering from the current situation. According to co-founder Nicolas Chabanne, 100,000 euros have been paid out, then 50,000 euros each week until 11 May.
[13]
Carrefour's Board of Directors has decided to reduce by 50% the dividend proposed for 2019. The dividend is now €0.69 per share (versus €0.46 per share).
[14]
Until the end of the year, Alexandre Bompard and all the members of Carrefour Group's board of directors have decided to waive 25% of their director's fees. These savings will be used to finance solidarity actions for the company's employees, both in France and abroad.
[15]
[
when?
]
Alexandre Bompard has decided to waive 25% of his fixed salary for a period of two months. To express his gratitude to his personnel in the field, he has decided to offer an exceptional bonus of €1,000 net to 85,000 employees in France.

at the southern edge of Vienna. Due to limited success, the store closed soon after. Carrefour has not made any other attempt at entering the Austrian market after that.
- Chile ? Carrefour opened six supermarkets in
Santiago de Chile
between 1998 and 2003. However, Carrefour never surpassed a 3% market share in the country and their assets in Chile were sold to

in 2003.
[62]
- China ? Carrefour entered China in 1995. In 2007, Carrefour opened 22 stores in China ? where the company broke its record for store openings in a one-year period. It was the leading foreign retailer in terms of sales figures, until 2008 and has since lost its No. 1 position in China to
Walmart
. In 2019, Carrefour sold 80% equity of Carrefour China to local retail comglomorate Suning.com at €620 million, marking the company's exit from China.
[63]
- Colombia ? In October 2012, Carrefour sold all 72 stores in Colombia to Chilean retailer
Cencosud
for $2.6 billion, with Cencosud converting all existing Carrefour hypermarkets to its

Mainz-Bretzenheim
as a joint venture with
Delhaize le Lion
and German retailer Stussgen (later part of
REWE Group
). Due to problems with a new building permit process and the associated difficulties in opening new locations, the store was sold in 1979 to the German retailer Massa.
[65]
- Hong Kong ? On 18 September 2000,
[66]
[67]
Carrefour closed its stores in Hong Kong after complaints from manufacturers about selling products (especially electronics) at prices far below those of its competitors.
[68]
A company spokesman said at that time that the closures were due to "difficulties in finding sites suitable for developing its hypermarket concept and quickly acquiring a significant market share". Carrefour entered the Hong Kong market in December 1996 with a store in
Heng Fa Chuen
and later added stores in
Tsuen Wan
(
Skyline Plaza
),

in late 2011 and one in
Meerut
in October 2012,
Agra
in December 2013. Prior to September 2012, India's
foreign direct investment
(FDI) policy did not allow foreign companies to open multi-brand retail stores in the country. However, 100% FDI in cash-and-carry has been permitted since 1997. As a result, most global retailers, including Carrefour, opted for the cash-and-carry route in India. A new FDI policy, allowing up to 51% FDI in multi-brand retail, came into effect on 20 September 2012.
[70]
[71]
On 8 July 2014, Carrefour announced that it would shut down its Indian operations and close its five wholesale stores by the end of September.

Trans TV
.
[75]
It also developed Groserindo, a grocery store also largely operated by Carrefour.
[76]
Carrefour officially left the nation in 2020, and CT Corp rebranded all remaining branches as Transmart.
[77]
- Japan ? In 1999 Carrefour's Japanese subsidiary, Carrefour Japan Co. Ltd., opened.
[78]
The first Carrefour in Japan opened in a suburb of Tokyo in December 2000. In January and February 2001 new Carrefour stores opened in Tokyo and Osaka. Sales were initially strong, but, as Miki Tanikawa of
The New York Times
wrote, "...10 months later, there is barely a line for most of the day at cash registers of most Carrefour stores here. Lengthy aisles of goods ranging from clothes to bicycles are mostly empty."
[79]
In early 2003, Carrefour sold its 8 hypermarkets to
AEON Group
and on 10 March 2005, the subsidiary's name changed to AEON Marche Co., Ltd.
[78]
The stores were still operated in the Carrefour name until 31 March 2010, when the license expired.
[80]
- Kazakhstan ? In the summer of 2017, the one and only Carrefour hypermarket closed down in
Almaty
as a result of the loss of value of the
Tenge
currency.

AEON Group
in November 2012.
[81]

Tetovo
. Carrefour shut down operations in North Macedonia because of debt.
[83]
- Portugal ? Carrefour entered Portugal by buying its first stores in 1991 ? two
Euromarche
hypermarkets in Telheiras (a neighbourhood of
Lisbon
) and
Vila Nova de Gaia
. In July 2007 Carrefour sold all of its 12 hypermarkets and 9 fuel stations to
Sonae

Suntec City
) and

[84]
- South Korea ? Carrefour entered the Korean market in 1996 with their first store in
Bucheon
and operated 32 stores across the country at its peak in its final year, 2006. Carrefour was confident they would dominate the market, and by 1999 invested a total of $925 million USD into the Korean venture ? more than any other foreign company in the Korean market at that time. Carrefour Korea enjoyed mediating success initially, gaining traction for unseen low prices and standing above its competitors. But the rise quickly ended when the
Asian Financial Crisis
struck South Korea in late 1997. Carrefour's reputation suffered a blow when they were exposed smuggling real estate in South Korea to international recipients. Alongside the reluctance of people spending in the midst of the financial crisis, boycotts ensued, beginning Carrefour's eventual demise. Complaints of Carrefour Korea's poor service quality grew, citing pushing products unfit for the Korean market and significantly soured relationships between the executives and the labour unions. With the company's attitude becoming reckless to its clients and suppliers, clients would boycott again while suppliers began refusing association with Carrefour Korea. With the company stained with controversial negativity, Carrefour Korea sold all their stores to
E-Land
and exited the Korean market in April 2006. Shortly after, E-Land sold their supermarket asset to
Homeplus
, recognized as Carrefour Korea's spiritual successor.
[85]
- Switzerland ? In August 2007 Carrefour sold its 12 hypermarkets in Switzerland to Swiss retailer
Coop
for $390 million;

in
Aleppo
in 2009
[87]
and operated until the mall was destroyed during the
Syrian Civil War

[88]
- Thailand ? Carrefour's business in Thailand was sold to
Big C
Supercenter Public Company Limited, the owner of Big C hypermarket stores in Thailand, due to complaints. The transaction was completed in March 2011, with the Suwinthawong branch being the first store converted from Carrefour to Big C.
[89]
Carrefour entered the Thai market in 1996.
- United Kingdom ? Carrefour opened the first of several hypermarkets in the UK in September 1972 in
Caerphilly
,
South Wales
, in a joint partnership with a UK company Wheatsheaf and Distribution & Trading Ltd, followed by stores at the
Telford Centre
,
Chandler's Ford
,
Minworth
,
Patchway
and
Swindon
.
[90]
The
Dee Corporation
later acquired the stores in the early 1980s; they continued to trade under the Carrefour name, while some other existing smaller sites were rebranded as Carrefour. In the 1980s, new stores were opened at the
MetroCentre
in Tyne and Wear, and the
Merry Hill Shopping Centre
in the West Midlands, before being rebranded under the now-defunct
Gateway
chain in 1988. In 1990, the stores were sold to
Asda
. The initial Caerphilly store was redeveloped in the 1990s; however, the original 1970s hypermarkets at Chandler's Ford, Minworth and Patchway (
Cribbs Causeway
) still exist as large Asda Supercentres.
[91]
Since July 2011, online supermarket
Ocado
has sold a range of Carrefour products in the UK.
[92]
- United States ? Carrefour opened its first hypermarket in the United States in
Philadelphia
, Pennsylvania, in March 1988, across from the Franklin Mills shopping mall (now

). Despite the large selection, the store was generally derided for its poor conditions, and most of the time, many of the 61 checkout lanes in the store were deserted. In 1992, another location opened in
Voorhees Township, New Jersey
. Both stores closed because of financial debt in 1993. The Voorhees store was broken up into many smaller stores, while the Philadelphia location became a
Walmart
and a
Dick's Sporting Goods
.

Carrefour Foundation
[
edit
]
The Carrefour Foundation (
Fondation d'Enterprise Carrefour
) is a philanthropic fund created by Carrefour in 2000 to support social welfare programmes 'linked to [its] core business as a retailer' in countries the company operates and in countries where its suppliers are located.
[93]
Criticism and controversies
[
edit
]
On 1 May 2007, more than 30 employees of the now-closed Carrefour Ratu Plaza,
Jakarta
,
Indonesia
, were taken to the
Pertamina Central Hospital
after being affected by
carbon monoxide
. The hypermarket was located in the mall's basement, which offered insufficient ventilation.
[94]
On 26 June 2007, the company was convicted in a French court for false advertising. The suit alleged that Carrefour regularly stocked insufficient quantities of advertised products for sale. In addition, the company was convicted of selling products below cost and accepting kickbacks from wholesalers. Carrefour was ordered to pay a fine of €2 million and to prominently and legibly display a notice in all of its French stores disclosing the false advertising.
[95]
In Carrefour Mangga Dua Square in Jakarta, Indonesia, a 5-metre high metal rack fell on top of a 3-year-old boy, killing him almost instantly due to internal bleeding.
[
when?
]
[96]
Afterwards, the victim's family claimed that Carrefour has refused to meet with them to settle the case.
[97]
However, a Carrefour Corporate Affairs Officer denied this allegation.
[98]
Carrefour has also received criticism for engaging in
sweatshop
practices.
[99]
On 7 May 2009, the French government asked a tribunal to fine Carrefour some €220,000 for more than 2,500 violations. Meat products lacked proper tracking information (more than 25% of inventory at some locations), and some products had incorrect labels ? such as meat products that "shrank" in weight by 15% after receiving labels. The chain sold products that had long since passed their expiration dates, including, in one case, packs of baby formula that had expired six months earlier. Some 1,625 frozen and refrigerated products were found that had been stored in warehouses at ambient temperatures.
[100]
On 17 September 2018 images revealed that the municipal slaughterhouse in Boischaut, France, responsible for supplying meat to Carrefour, was killing animals in an extremely cruel way: cutting them up while they were still alive. The mistreatment scandal reverberated around the world and led to the closure of the slaughterhouse.
[101]
On 10 January 2019 the French branch made the news after selling zebra meat, Carrefour said it stopped selling the meat.
[102]
Boycott of supplies in China
[
edit
]
A Carrefour outlet in Beijing, China, promotes the use of canvas bags as opposed to
plastic bags
prior to the
2008 Summer Olympics
.
In April 2008, after the
2008 Olympic torch relay
was disrupted by
Tibetan independence movement
advocates in London and especially in Paris, where some protesters attempted to wrest control of the torch from the torch bearers, Chinese activists promoted boycotting Carrefour because of unsubstantiated rumours that the company gave funds to Tibetan independence groups and the
Dalai Lama
.
[103]
[104]
In its response, Carrefour China stated that it did support the
Beijing Olympics
; and that it would never do anything to harm the feelings of the
Chinese people
.
[105]
Protests and calls for the boycott later subsided, partly because of efforts by French officials to apologize for the Paris torch attack.
[104]
Building collapse at Savar
[
edit
]

Rana Plaza
commercial building collapsed in

Slavery in Thailand
[
edit

[112]

[119]
[120]

[113]
[123]
Another case of beatings followed by death occurred at the Supermercado Dia e Noite store, a subsidiary of the Carrefour group in Sao Carlos. The theft of two cheese breads, some drumsticks and hair cream, committed by bricklayer Ademir Peraro, aged 43 at the time, led to his beating by the store supervisor and a security guard. After the end of torture, the victim was locked in the bathroom until the store closed, when he was thrown into the street. Rescued by family members, he was taken to the hospital; before dying, the mason was able to report the torture he was subjected to.

executive
