Auchan Group, the major France-based retailer, has just signed a memorandum of understanding recognizing ICTI CARE Process certification as meeting their ethical sourcing requirements. Auchan Group includes 515 hypermarkets in 13 countries, with an additional 740 wholly-owned supermarkets in five countries. And through its Immochan subsidiary it manages 297 shopping centres in 12 countries. 歐尚集團，法國主要零售商之一，在2010年1月份正式與ICTI委員會簽訂意向書，確認將ICTI全球關愛驗廠作為集團道德采購的要求指標。歐尚集團擁有全球13個國家共計515家特大超級商場，更在5個國家設立了740家全資超市。其子公司在全球12個國家管理著多達297個購物中心。
Alain Mulliez, International Toy Convergence Manager of Auchan, said his recognition gives Auchan a serious lever to increase its requirement for compliance with its ethical principles. We intend to share with the ICTI CARE Process our will to improve our common social responsibility. 歐尚玩具部門的全球經理Alain Mulliez聲稱，此決定將引領歐尚的道德標準達到一個更高標準。希望通過ICTI的實施，我們可以改善供應商的社會責任狀況。
Christian Ewert, President/CEO of the ICTI CARE Foundation, observed that "We are very happy that we were able to sign the MOU with Auchan. I am encouraged and optimistic that this acceptance of the ICTI Code of Business Practices will encourage others to follow this step to ensure better conditions for workers in the toy industry supply chain." ICTI委員會主席/CEO Christian Ewert 回應說，“我們很高興可以與歐尚簽訂此意向合同，為此我們感到十分鼓舞，并對ICTI的前景更為樂觀。此舉將激勵更多的零售商來推行ICTI，以保證玩具產業鏈的員工可以享受到更好的工作條件。”
