24 Sep 2023

CarrefourSA turns the waste batteries collected in its stores into books for children in need with AÇEV's "A Reading Future" project

Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, CarrefourSA continues its work to meet the needs of the society with sustainable projects and practices. CarrefourSA, which aims to raise awareness and provide solutions to the masses with its projects focusing on people and the environment, supports the development of children in need with the waste batteries collected in its stores within the scope of the "A Reading Future" project developed by the Mother Child Education Foundation (AÇEV).

“We pursue 'What is True for Life' at every step of life”

CarrefourSA CEO Kutay Kartallıoğlu, who stated that they act responsibly for their customers, employees and the sustainability of the world under the motto "CarrefourSA has the truth", said, "With the project of collecting waste batteries that we have implemented with the awareness of protecting nature, we prevent these wastes from mixing with nature, and we also contribute to the education and development of children in need with every battery we convert." Kartallıoğlu continued his statements as follows: "In everything we do and in every step we take, we pursue 'What is Right for Life' for our employees, customers, producers and most importantly for our world. We are also aware of our responsibility to the society we live in and our children, who are the future of this society. In this context, we collected 650 kg of waste batteries with the contributions of our customers in our collaboration with TAP (Portable Battery Manufacturers Association) and AÇEV, which we started in 2022 and is still continuing. By turning the waste batteries we collect into books, we support AÇEV to reach children in need. Thanks to this collaboration, we not only protect nature, but also contribute to the acquisition of the habit of reading books in children from an early age. We see this environmentally friendly step we take to leave a livable world to future generations as an important approach that supports a sustainable society. We are proud to take part in this work that offers equal opportunities to children whose development is at risk for the sustainability of a modern society. We are waiting for you at CarrefourSA.”
