"The entire France Steering Committee is excited to share its commitment to advancing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) within LEAD Network. Our Chapter aims to engage more retailers in our journey (a big thanks to Carrefour, Metro and Amazon already highly engaged with us!), fostering fruitful connections among Members (through our events and networking) and highlighting audacious DEI advocates (keep in touch with our LinkedIn communications!). We are dedicated to building on the impactful initiatives already established by LEAD Network, working together to create a more inclusive environment for all."
