Once again, Carrefour Turkey rallied to support Environment Day on June 5, 2008.

Carrefour came to Turkey in 1993 and currently has 20 hypermarkets and close on 120 supermarkets. Since its inception, Carrefour Turkey has shown great commitment to both environmental and social issues. 

In fact, on Environment Day - which is celebrated on June 5 every year- Carrefour Turkey and its stores organise activities in partnership with the local and social authorities. The activities are many (over 100 throughout Turkey) and varied: cycle races, heightening people’s awareness to environmental issues, cleaning historic monuments and beaches etc. This action has received an accolade from the CEVKO Foundation, which is committed to protecting the environment and has a good relationship with Turkey’s Minister of Ecology: it has awarded Carrefour a certificate for the best activity organized by the stores.

Otherwise, Carrefour Turkey's social commitment has been expressed by setting up - via a Social Activity Group at its headquarters - social action involving employees: visiting elderly people, integrating disabled people into the workplace, giving aid to the destitute, donating computers to an orphanage and many others!
