Carrefour Polska was honored with the "Franczyzowe retaiLOVE" award. This award is granted to franchise chains, partner networks and purchasing groups by the Handel magazine for their unconventional activities addressed to franchisees in the past year.
During the first edition of the competition, the editorial jury awarded three chains, including Carrefour Polska. The winners were selected on the basis of knowledge about their activities taken from surveys that the editors sent to nearly 40 franchise chains, asking, among others: o ESG, CSR activities and new projects.
Carrefour Polska was awarded for creating its own deposit system, which the chain has been testing since December 2020, when it started accepting returnable glass bottles in its Warsaw stores without having to show proof of purchase and paying customers the full deposit in payment vouchers. In its subsequent stages, in January 2023, the chain began accepting empty plastic and aluminum beverage packaging from customers, paying 50 groszy for each of them, and in March 2024, it created the first bottle in Poland that meets the requirements and sets trends in the new deposit system, which will officially launch in our country on January 1, 2025.
