Principles of social audits covering our suppliers with respect

to their workers’ compensation policy

In relation to decent wages, Carrefour’s purchasing rules include

audits in compliance with minimum wage, legal overtime pay

requirements and freedom of association. Specific roadmaps

covering these three themes were defined at the local level. The

social performance of suppliers is regularly monitored and

checked through social audits. Corrective action plans are

systematically implemented and progress monitored over time.

In addition to social audits, Carrefour develops local projects to

meet specific needs of its suppliers. More than 80% of cases of

non‑compliance identified in plants in high‑risk countries each

year relate to the following three categories: “Compensation,

benefits and conditions”, “health and safety” or “working hours”.
