At Carrefour, one family replaces another. The French distributor revealed that, Wednesday 12 November, the Saadé family, owners of Marseille ship owner CMA CGM, took a 4% stake in its capital. Thus, he becomes the brand’s second shareholder, behind the Moulin-Houzé family (Galeries Lafayette), a shareholder with 9.5%, after selling 3.5% in March 2024. “This development will not impact the participation of the immobile Moulin-Houzé familyhe said to World. We welcome this move and welcome the entry into the capital of Carrefour of the Saadé family, who are long-term shareholders. »

As a result, the two representatives of the Brazilian holding resigned from the board of directors.
