The Carrefour group presented, this Monday, June 26, to its social partners a “new organization of the seats in France”. On the sidelines of a CSE (staff representative body), the distributor indicated that up to “979 departures would be likely to occur” at its headquarters in France.
These departures “will only concern employees of the headquarters, excluding those of the stores or warehouses”, specifies Carrefour, which has headquarters in Massy (Essonne), Évry (Essonne) and Mondeville (Calvados). They “can only intervene on a strictly voluntary basis, and within the framework of quality social support”, further assures the distributor.
European pooling
In mid-June, the CFDT had indicated that “the first departures on a voluntary basis could take place at the end of August, or even well before for employees producing a permanent contract abroad”. This headcount reduction target was known, and the specialized media The letter a had revealed at the end of May that “a thousand positions” were “targeted solely on the France perimeter of the group”.
This reorganization is part of the strategic plan for 2026 concocted for the distributor by its CEO, Alexandre Bompard. In November 2022, the latter announced a new plan for “cost savings” of 4 billion euros, including “significant reductions in the workforce in each” of the European headquarters.
The CEO of the group did not give any indication of the extent of these reductions, simply stating that “in Europe there is enormous potential for pooling to be exploited” and that “everything that must be pooled in [leur] organization will be.
Staff reductions at European level are not yet known.
Carrefour achieved in 2022 a turnover up by 16% to 90.8 billion euros, and a net profit jumping to 1.35 billion euros, or 26% better than the previous year. It is due to publish its financial results for the first half of 2023 on July 26.
