Super rewarding feeling to be surrounded by so many DE&I believers. Thanks a lot for organising that very inspirational event. The feedback from my SC Johnson team is very positive. The speakers were super well prepared and the content was very engaging.

In front of more than 800 business leaders, I recalled that my mission is to ensure that Carrefour employees come in the morning with a smile to satisfy our Customers and make the company prosper. To achieve this, we use several levers. First of all, diversity brings richness and complementarity. Gender equality contributes to the balance of our organisation. Listening to younger generations allows us to be constantly looking to the future. Inclusion is the basis of caring. And finally the valuation of skills allows social mobility.

Starting the week energised and inspired after last week's #LEADNetwork22 conference in Paris! Too many interesting takeaways to share although it all comes down to the following statement: "Diversity starts with Inclusion".

So the question is - why has a man, with two teenage sons (not daughters) - just spent two days as part of the 20% male attendees at the annual LEAD conference sharing ideas and agreeing actions to promote female careers in our industry?
Simple. Because of the amazing women who have been role models, mentors, supporters, coaches, friends, colleagues, inspirations throughout my life. From my Mum, my sister, my amazing wife, too many others to list! I want to ensure our industry is a place that attracts and retains more of these people who will make a difference.
