We are delighted to welcome E.Leclerc as a new member of Independent Retail Europe!

E.Leclerc is a leading French cooperative group of independent retailers, operating over 850 stores across France, Luxembourg, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, and Spain. With a unique model where each store is independently owned and operated, E.Leclerc is active in both the food and non-food sectors including travel, culture, optical, toys, fuel, drugstores, jewellery, DIY, and gardening.
They are a pioneer in sustainability and consumer transparency, being the first to ban plastic bags and introduce NutriScore and CO₂ labelling on their private-label products.

We are pleased to welcome Marie de Lamberterie, Secretary General, to our Board of Directors. Marie brings 20+ years of experience at E.Leclerc and a strong commitment to defending independent retail at the EU level.
