后续行动: Carrefour and MAF have since said they have launched an internal investigation into the findings, and Carrefour instructed a third-party audit of its franchise partner’s operations. In October, the Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited Carrefour & Majid Al Futtaim to respond to the allegations outlined in the report and provide information on any planned or actual remedy that has taken place for current and former contracted workers who suffered abuses, including: 1) by when it will be administered, and b) the form redress will take. Further, the Resource Centre also asked Carrefour and Majid Al Futtaim to disclose the outcomes of their joint investigation into working conditions, and to disclose the results of Carrefour’s externally commissioned audit into Majid Al Futtaim operations. Carrefour and Majid Al Futtaim’s responded. The Resource Centre was not able to contact Al Mutairi to invite a response to the allegations; if a response is received in future this page will be updated accordingly.

With an annual turnover of over EUR 94 billion, the Carrefour Group is one of the world’s largest supermarket brands – operating over 14,000 stores in 40 countries. Headquartered in France, the company operates in the Middle East, Africa and Asia via its franchisee Majid Al Futtaim, with between 2,000 and 3,000 staff in Saudi Arabia – roughly a third of whom are contracted via outsourced labour supply companies…
The Carrefour Group is far from the first company to be faced with serious labour abuses in their value chain in Saudia Arabia.
