Founded by a Dream

Carrefour is the leader of the retail business in Europe, the second largest company worldwide. 1989, Carrefour first store in Taiwan, Ta Shun store, opened in Kaohsiung. In order to feedback to society, Carrefour founded the Carrefour Cultural and Educational Foundation in 1996. Through activities in art and culture, community and parents-children, environmental protection, charity and sports, Carrefour Foundation continues to promote the crucial and long-lasting task of helping our culture take root

To raise collective efforts and serve the people – that is the spirit of service constantly upheld by the Carrefour Cultural and Educational Foundation. Apart from performing its duty as a corporate citizen in management and commitment, Carrefour is also devoted to areas of environmental protection and social participation in the fulfillment of its corporate social responsibility. At the same time, Carrefour is dedicated to improving the creative energy, social identification and international competitiveness of Taiwanese art, so that a new vision with equal local characteristics and global perspective may be achieved.

As Carrefour expands its branches around Taiwan, the mission of the Carrefour Cultural and Educational Foundation becomes ever more important. Over the years, the Foundation has not only supported outstanding performance groups by creating quality spaces for art and culture to raise their profile, but also campaigned vigorously through the stores around the country to give the public a taste of the beautiful fruit of “living art and artistic living.” We believe that sweet rewards may be reaped from our hard work, and Taiwan’s art and culture will always move forward and progress with the times.
