Overview

• The 2025 report from Réseau Action Climat scores major French supermarket chains between 2 and 12.5 out of 20 on sustainable food metrics, showing only slight improvement since 2023.
• Carrefour, Monoprix, and Coopérative U lead the rankings, while Leclerc and Aldi score the lowest, reflecting significant disparities in sustainability efforts.
• Supermarkets continue to overemphasize meat and ultra-processed products while underpromoting plant-based alternatives and legumes, according to the report.
• The NGO urges the French government to implement stronger public policies, including advertising bans on unhealthy foods and quantified targets for reducing meat consumption.
• The report coincides with the impending release of France’s National Strategy for Food, Nutrition, and Climate, which aims to address dietary and environmental challenges.
