Argentina – Carrefour successfully joined “Earth Hour”

Awareness-raising among employees Besides inviting its customers, employees and suppliers to join the initiative, the company participated by carrying out the following actions at the country’s 527 branches: • The outside signage lights were switched off. • The lighting in our stores was reduced by 40%. • Non essential lighting inside offices and stores was switched off. Carrefour is working to counter the negative effects of climate change through the management and responsible consumption of its resources and energy and the optimization of the transport and logistics system. Participating in this international cause is very important for Carrefour as it is linked with its own Energy Efficiency Plan inasmuch as supporting “Earth Hour” furthers its internal awareness-raising efforts to realize the objective of reducing energy consumption by 30% in 2020 compared with 2004, given that due to various initiatives, in 2013 it managed to reduce its energy consumption by 8% compared with 2011.
