Initially, Carrefour stated that it “thoroughly examined the extensive database of farms supplying meat to all the slaughterhouses that cater to the Group, and confirmed the absence of any property linked to the mentioned accused individual or to individuals with the same surname.”

"Taking into account the hostilities in Ukraine, Carrefour Polska decided to withdraw all products from Russia and Belarus from sale in its stores.

La société Electra Consumer Products, qui détient les magasins franchisés du groupe français en Israël, a communiqué sur les distributions de denrées alimentaires qu’elle mène en soutien aux soldats israéliens, déclenchant une campagne de boycott.

Quoi qu’il en soit, toutes ces publications se sont accompagnées de pics de viralité du hashtag #BoycottCarrefour, particulièrement sur les journées des 16 et 29 octobre, d’après les tendances observées par CheckNews à l’aide de l’outil Keyhole. De plus, elles ont été suivies d’autres vidéos publiées sur différentes plateformes, qui montrent des rayons de supermarchés Carrefour quasi désertés et sont censées apporter la preuve du succès de la campagne de boycott. «J’ai voulu vérifier à Carrefour, un samedi après-midi, pendant les vacances scolaires, l’affluence. […] Le magasin est vide, il n’y a personne. […] Le boycottage est vraiment en marche en France», peut-on entendre raconter une voix féminine sur l’une de ces vidéos. Des internautes estiment que c’est pour éviter de connaître le même sort que Carrefour Tunisie, qui a exprimé sur Facebook sa solidarité «avec le peuple palestinien».

The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) campaign, which began two decades ago, has accused Carrefour of “profiting from Israel’s illegal settlements” through its franchise partnership with Israeli retailer Electra Consumer Products and its subsidiary, supermarket chain Yenot Bitan.

French multinational changes name of stores to HyperMax in several countries, earning applause of BDS, though move hasn’t been explicitly linked to boycott calls

Dans un tweet posté le 21 octobre, le compte de BDS France (du nom de la campagne «Boycott, désinvestissement et sanctions contre le régime d’apartheid israélien», active depuis 2005, et depuis 2009 en France) «appelle au boycott des entreprises israéliennes et internationales complices» d’Israël. Et parmi les sociétés citées, le nom de Carrefour figure en bonne position. BDS France reproche notamment au groupe d’avoir «envoyé des colis personnels aux soldats israéliens», mais aussi, en 2022, d’avoir «conclu un partenariat avec la société israélienne Electra Consumer Products et sa filiale Yenot Bitan, toutes deux impliquées dans de graves violations à l’encontre du peuple palestinien».

PARIS, April 16 (Reuters) - France's antitrust watchdog fined four organic food wholesalers, including one owned by Carrefour (CARR.PA), opens new tab, a combined 12.7 million euros ($14.96 million) for colluding to fix ​their product prices over a seven-year period up to 2024.

Amnesty International’s investigation follows a 2023 report published by the organization exposing abuses at Amazon facilities in Saudia Arabia, involving one of the same labour supply companies. The latest research was based on interviews and information provided by 17 men from Nepal, India and Pakistan. They all worked in various Carrefour facilities in Riyadh, Dammam and Jeddah between 2021 to 2024 and nearly all are or were employed by labour supply companies and contracted out to Majid Al Futtaim.

Migrant workers contracted to sites in Saudi Arabia franchised by French retail giant Carrefour were deceived by recruitment agents, made to work excessive hours, denied days off and cheated of their earnings, said Amnesty International.

On November 8th, environmental non-profit Bloom sent a notice of intent to sue to Carrefour, a French-based supermarket chain with 14,000 stores in over 40 countries, for human rights abuses in its tuna supply chain. Since the Fall 2022 term, the Clinic has collaborated with Bloom to map human rights abuses in the tuna industry and determine how to prevent such harms from continuing. Bloom alleges that Carrefour routinely purchases from suppliers who have committed abuses, including slavery, human trafficking, and torture. Bloom also alleges that Carrefour has endangered the health of its consumers and engaged in unsustainable and destructive fishing practices.

In March 2025, the NGOs BLOOM and Foodwatch filed a civil lawsuit against Carrefour before a tribunal in Paris, France. The case alleges violations by Carrefour of the French duty of vigilance law due to environmental harm, health risks, and potential human rights abuses in its tuna supply chain, particularly mercury contamination in canned tuna, the use of destructive fishing methods, and lack of transparency around labour practices at sea. The plaintiffs argue that Carrefour’s vigilance plan is inadequate and excludes a large portion of its tuna sales. Carrefour contends that it complies with all applicable laws and that its due diligence plan is appropriate.
