UNIVERSAL REGISTRATION DOCUMENT 2020 / CARREFOUR

This 2020 Universal Registration Document follows an unprecedented year, marked by the Covid-19 pandemic whose health, social and economic impact reverberate to this day in all the countries in which we operate.

Above all, 2020 was a year of commitment for Carrefour. Our teams showed incredible dedication in the face of immense health, logistical and human challenges, outdoing themselves in support of our customers. Our entire Group rose to the occasion, maintaining

a high level of vigilance and rigor on the sanitary front at all times. Our social and environmental commitments never wavered. In fact, with the current economic crisis, our role as leader of the food transition, that is our mission to make good quality, sustainable food accessible to all, proves to be more important than ever.

2020 was also a decisive year for Carrefour. In a crisis which is accelerating the ongoing transformations in our industry, our Group reached a watershed. Three years ago, the

"2020 was a year of commitment for Carrefour. Our teams showed incredible dedication in the face of immense health, logistical and human challenges, outdoing themselves in support of our customers. (...) 2020 was also a decisive year for Carrefour. In a crisis which is accelerating

the ongoing transformations in our industry, our Group reached a watershed. We have established an attractive growth model based on customer satisfaction and new consumer trends."

Carrefour 2022 plan marked a first turning point for our Group and set out our ambition. After three years of flawless roll-out of our transformation, we have established an attractive growth model based on customer satisfaction and new consumer trends. This model is now delivering sustainable growth in sales and profitability for our Group, allowing us to generate significant financing capacity.

With 2020 now behind us, I observe that despite the crisis, we continue to grow.

Despite the emergencies, we are achieving our financial and extra-financial objectives. Despite the uncertainty over the health and economic situation, we inspire confidence. Buoyed by this success, in 2021 we will continue to promote the values of diversity, dignity and service on which our Group is built. As always, we will be there for our customers, who expect so much from us.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
