Auchan: We create a culture close to people
The CSR strategy is based on three pillars – one of them is people. We have committed to three things towards our current and future employees: creating value together, acting in a social environment and promoting solidarity between our employees. Our ambition is to become a favorite brand for our customers, especially our employees, by 2032 – says Arkadiusz Mika

The employee share ownership program was introduced at Auchan in 1977 by the company's founder, Gerard Mulliez, and is currently used by over 96% of all eligible employees in Poland. Joining the program is preceded by participation in training to understand the idea of employee shareholding and company economics, including basic concepts such as turnover, margin, costs and profit.

– Current and potential employees interested in looking for new development paths in our company can use the "Job offers" section on the website. In 2022, we implemented the Employee Referral Program as an internal tool aimed at building teams and supporting the recruitment process by our employees. As part of the program, we encourage you to recommend candidates for work with us in exchange for a bonus of PLN 1,400. Thanks to the program, we build teams that know each other and support each other. An important aspect of the program is the shortening of recruitment processes and faster integration of newly employed people. From the beginning of the program to the end
