Carrefour China is involved in an anti-corruption campaign in China with eight managers from its Carrefour Beijing CCU outlet and seven staff from the fresh and raw food division of other Carrefour outlets in Beijing detained by the police over corruption charges.
According to a news report on Sina.com, the staff from the fresh and raw food division of several other Carrefour stores in northeast China have been removed from their positions and some of the staff from the Meilin outlet in Shenzhen have also been punished.
Carrefour China has recently been proactive in publishing information about the corruption cases occurring within each of its outlets in China. The company said that from June 25 to August 1, they investigated their Beijing CCU and seven outlets, and a total of 22 people, including 12 suppliers, were summoned by the police and eight managers had been detained. These eight people were accused of receiving bribes from the suppliers.
Carrefour has divided its business in China into four big regions of East China, South China, North China and Middle China. The outlets in each of the regions can adopt a flexible operation pattern according to their actual situations on the ground. A representative from Shanghai Carrefour said so far they had not identified any corruption in Shanghai stores.

Dear readers
Carrefour owes me an apology, a sincere apology.
This is China. We are both Chinese. How are we going to tolerate a foreigner taking advantage of us Chinese people? Where is our dignity if we ignore the fact this is happening to us?
Over the past 2 months, it took me a lot to efforts to find an ideal home for Carrefour’s Shenzhen/Dongguan CCU Food Manager. I started working for him since early November 2008.
It was okay if this manager from Carrefour rejected my service in the first place, but he accepted my service, and right now lives in the apartment I showed him and his wife, and he as a senior manager in Carrefour wanted to ESCAPE the payment for my service. Remember, this payment would NOT go to my personal account but to my company's account, and we, as a subsidiary of China Merchants Group (whose website is cmhk.com), will provide the official receipt or to Carrefour. We pay tax for the money of our business operation whenever we make any profit.
I still hope Carrefour is respectable company in China, but something is changing my mind.
A friendly reminder for Carrefour is that I was an auditor in a professional company and I understand how to reveal to truth about this issue especially when I have to fight for my rights.
Faithfully yours,
