Professional success and major innovations at Auchan

Ildikó Balázs, head of corporate affairs and quality at Auchan was honoured with the Klauzál Gábor Certificate of Honour on Europe’s Day in Commerce. She received the prestigious prize for her pro-active and professional attitude in industrial cooperations – she is a fervent supporter of every project that contributes to the introduction of new innovations, services and products, and programmes that serve customer and worker education purposes. A good example of this is the role she plays in the project of installing Tesla Supercharger stations in the parking lots of Auchan stores in Fót, Törökbálint, Szeged, Miskolc and Debrecen.

Auchan is dedicated to environmental protection and sustainable retail, therefore from April 2020 the retail chain bans single-use plastic cutlery, drinking straws and cotton buds and replaces them with green alternatives. From December 2019 shopping cardboard boxes will be made available to customers, in order to cut in-store plastic bag use. From 2020 several single-use or non-recyclable shopping bags also disappear from Auchan stores. //
