– alternatives to single-use packaging (deployment of bulk and offer sustainable and eco-responsible packaging),

– a delivery service with an electric vehicle carried out by a service provider with the Carrefour logo,

– sorting of plastics and cardboard,

Annabelle Jaeger-Seydoux, Director of the Monaco Energy Transition (MTE), praised the leading role Carrefour Monaco has taken: “…Knowing how to count on the store to continue to change the purchasing habits of consumers who live and come to work in the Principality”.

Indeed, Carrefour Monaco has 300 daily employees who, through the National Pact, will be made aware of the Principality’s energy transition.

The National Pact

The impetus and creation of the National Pact originated with HSH Prince Albert II, who was the first signatory. The initiative offers each of us the opportunity to reflect on our impact on the planet and allows us to personally embark on the path of a carbon-free Monaco.
