Press release, Massy, 22 March 2023

Carrefour Group's Board of Directors aligns its governance with the Carrefour 2026 strategic plan

Carrefour's Board of Directors met today and, based on recommendations formulated by the Governance Committee, made the following decisions within the framework of its annual review of how it operates in order to implement the "Carrefour 2026" strategic plan.

1. The Board of Directors has unanimously decided to propose that Alexandre Bompard's term be renewed ahead of schedule at the next Shareholders' meeting on 26 May 2023. This is so as to align it with the timeframe of the "Carrefour 2026" strategic plan. His term, which was set to end after the 2024 Shareholders' meeting, would be renewed for three years, until the 2026 Shareholders' meeting.

2. Further bolstering its role in terms of governance, the Board of Directors has also decided to extend the Lead Independent Director's role, who will:

  • Approve the agendas of meetings of the Board of Directors.
  • Cohairing two executive sessions every year, which will be held without the CEO being present.
  • Sits on the Audit, Remuneration and Strategy Committees.

3. Following the recommendation of the Governance Committee, the Board of Directors has also made a number of changes to its Committees:

  • Mathilde Lemoine, who will cease to serve as Independent Director as of the 2023 Shareholders' meeting and whose term will end at the 2024 Shareholders' meeting, will step down from the Audit Committee, as well as the Remuneration Committee that she was chairing.
  • Marie-Laure Sauty de Chalon, Independent Director, the renewal of whose term will be proposed at the Shareholders' meeting of 26 May 2023, will step down from the CSR Committee and will join the Audit Committee.
  • Stéphane Courbit, Independent Director, has been appointed Chairman of the Remuneration Committee.
  • Stéphane Israël, Chairman of the Audit Committee and Lead Independent Director, is to join the Remuneration Committee and the Strategy Committee.
  • Arthur Sadoun, Independent Director, is appointed to the Governance Committee.

The Committees of the Board of Directors shall therefore be composed as follows:

Audit Committee (proportion of independent directors: 75%)

Members: Philippe Houzé, Claudia Almeida e Silva (Independent Director) and Marie-Laure Sauty de Chalon (Independent Director).

Vice President: Abilio Diniz

Members: Philippe Houzé, Stéphane Courbit (Independent Director) and Stéphane Israël (Lead Independent Director).

Lead Independent Director Stéphane Israël said: "The Board of Directors has looked into the key challenges facing the Group for the years ahead with regard to the "Carrefour 2026" strategic plan. To successfully address the challenges listed in the plan, ensure that the Group continues to perform and uphold its commitments and maintain the quality of its governance, the Board of Directors, which met today for an executive session, wanted Alexandre Bompard's term to be renewed so that it would continue until 2026."

Alexandre Bompard said: "I am honored by the trust that the Board of Directors has placed in me. It can count on my determination to pursue our ambitions in terms of economic and financial performance, as well as uphold our CSR commitments.
