A committee 05. Concrete actions Making “eating better" ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE A pioneer in large-scale retailing and the first to have made the food transition central to its strategy, Carrefour mobilises its employees, agricultural partners and all stakeholders to make healthy, quality, sustainably produced food accessible to everyone. Aware of the urgent nature of the issue and the scale of the challenge, in September 2018, Carrefour launched “Act for Food”, a programme of specific action for the food transition that each of our 30 countries undertakes to implement by 2022. Why are we ALL CONCERNED BY THE FOOD TRANSITION? Because paying attention to what is on our plates, beyond our health and well-being, has a direct impact on the health of our environment, water, air, soil, animals and plants as well.Choosing healthy food, produced locally and sustainably, makes it possible both to combat global warming and boost the local economy. REASONS TO ACT World population in 2050 9,8 billion Percentage of overweight or obese adults 38,9 % Proportion of greenhouse gases emitted by farming 24 % Sales of organic food products 92,8 billion € in 2017 Area of farmland used for organic farming in France 7,5 % in 2018 French people who say they buy products that respect animal welfare 28 % en 2019 Act for food THE FOOD TRANSITION IN ACTION Our eating habits are changing, our production methods are too. Nous aspirons à une alimentation de qualité, saine et plus soucieuse de l’Homme et de l’environnement. Pour changer les choses, il faut agir à grande échelle. C’est pour cette raison que Carrefour aligne la stratégie de tous ses pays derrière une même ambition: devenir le leader mondial de la transition alimentaire pour tous. Une ambition qui impose un changement de modèle dans la durée, afin de proposer le meilleur à nos clients. Le programme d'actions Act For Food incarne cet engagement concret et quotidien pour la qualité alimentaire. Guaranteeing quality and food safety Growing our sales of fresh products, using local supply chains, developing organic produce, offering the best quality via our Carrefour products, gradually training employees in these issues, protecting biodiversity by encouraging responsible practices… these are our main commitments. Making quality available at fair prices The barriers between physical commerce and e-commerce are disappearing. The food transition also means taking these changes into account in the way we access our products by purchasing in store, collecting them from drive pick-up points and having them delivered, everywhere and at any time. We are all stakeholders in the food transition Producers, manufacturers, employees, politicians, associations, NGOs and consumers – we are all stakeholders in the food transition. We all have the power to act to change things. This is why we are working to strengthen the partnerships between our employees, startups, associations and NGOs… joining forces to drive change. But it is also the reason why we are committed to supporting change in consumer behaviour. Because the food transition cannot be achieved without them: raising awareness about seasonality, waste reduction and avoiding food waste. The Food Advisory COMMITTEE : AN ADVISORY ROLE The Food Advisory Committee was created in September 2018, and comprises seven personalities from outside the Group who are known for their activities in the area of the food transition and who share our strong belief that we need to eat better for the sake of our health and that of our planet. The Committee meets twice a year. In 2018, the first session focused on four food transition themes: food waste, the full cost of food, farming methods that help protect soil and new models of commerce and stores. Each of the topics selected was then followed up by mixed working groups, involving both members of the Committee and Carrefour teams. Their aim is to anticipate, wherever possible, the development of food consumption and bring about future Act for Food commitments. Who are the members of the food ORIENTATION COMMITTEE ?
