Mathilde Tabary, Director for Social Development and Diversity and Jean-Luc Delenne, Director for Industrial Relations each reply to questions by Planet Labor on the agreement signed by Carrefour on 30 September with the international union federation UNI Global Union (c.f. article No. 9283). This the first attempt by a well known name to have its own concept of fundamental rights be taken up by its partners and to bolster its diversity policy globally.
- Within which context is this new international agreement signed?
Jean-Luc Delenne. The agreement aims to encourage partnership and the current constructive atmosphere Carrefour has shared with UNI since 1996, when we signed our first agreement to establish a European Works Council (at that time with FIET- the International Federation of Commercial Clerical Professional and Technical Employees) and which was further strengthened with our first global agreement on fundamental human rights signed in May 2001.
