In 1977, Gérard Mulliez decided that employees would be offered the opportunity to participate in the capital
scheme. Valauchan mutual fund (FCP) was created on 2nd December that year. The share was then worth 2
Euros.
Employee shareholding is implemented in all countries in which it is possible: as of June 2013, out of the 13

countries where the Auchan Group does business, 9 countries with a hypermarket presence, 3 countries with
supermarkets and 2 Banque Accord and Alinéa France entities have all introduced employee shareholding,
accounting for over 160,000 shareholders. The principles of equity, sharing and motivation that made it possible
to implement it in France 35 years ago remain intangible.
The implementation of shareholding in China marks a further step in the development of the human resources
project initiated by the Auchan Group (launch of a profit sharing agreement in 2003).
It was launched in a country in which no profit sharing agreement or mandatory profit sharing were implemented
and has made it possible for 11,800 employees from 54 hypermarkets in China to become shareholders.
Best Practice identified by World Forum for a Responsible Economy in 2009 and updated in 2015.
