› The Net Promoter Score (NPS®) is a benchmark indicator in the business world. NPS® is a measure of customer satisfaction that is based on the answer to a simple and precise question: "Based on your recent experience at Carrefour and on a scale of 0 to 10, to what extent would you recommend Carrefour to a friend or colleague?"
-
› The overall score is the difference between the percentage of "promoters" (customers who gave a score of 9 or 10) and the percentage of "detractors" (customers who gave a score between 0 and 6).
Scores of 7 and 8 are not taken into account

Impact of the COVID-19 on the interim financial statements
Impact in Income Statement:
› The costs incurred in connection with the Covid-19 health crisis were recognized in recurring operating income for 2020, including necessary costs relating to logistics or product distribution in stores or to customers' homes, as well as costs relating to protecting the health of employees, customers and service providers. In accordance with the Group's accounting principles, which have been applied consistently, exceptional bonuses and similar benefits were recognized in non-recurring expenses for a total amount of 128 million euros during the first half of 2020. These bonuses did not compensate employees for their work as such. Rather, they represented an act of corporate social responsibility, offering tax and employee benefits. The exceptional bonuses supplemented the usual components of fixed and variable compensation awarded to the employees concerned (in respect of overtime pay, various types of bonuses, profit-sharing, etc.), i.e., without replacing said components.
Others:
› For further detail, please refer to note 2.1 of the Consolidated Financial statements.
