As of the beginning of this month, Castorama has joined the ranks of the BPCC’s Patrons.
Kingfisher plc is a FTSE250 company that operates the Castorama brand in Poland and the B&Q and Screwfix brands in the UK and Ireland, as well as Brico Dépôt in France, Spain, Portugal and Romania, Castorama in France and Russia. It also has a 50% share in a Turkish DIY chain Koçtaş. Across the nine markets, Kingfisher operates over 1,300 stores, employing 77,000 people and serving six million consumers each week. Last year, the company’s revenues were £11.7 billion.
Kingfisher is committed to sustainability targets, helping consumers reduce energy and water usage in their homes, and cutting waste and pollution from its supply chains. The company is included in the FTSE4Good socially responsible investment index, and it takes part in the Carbon Disclosure Project’s Climate and Forests questionnaires annually. Kingfisher and Castorama Polska work with several NGOs in Poland, including Piękne Anioły, to help improve living conditions for people experiencing illness, disability, financial problems and other challenging circumstances.
The Castorama brand was founded in France in 1968; the first Castorama store in Poland was opened in 1994. By the time Castorama was acquired by Kingfisher plc in 2002, it had 17 stores in Poland. Today, Castorama Polska has 81 stores, including eight former Brico Dépôt stores that had been rebranded as Castorama in 2013. In total, Castorama employs 12,000 people in its Polish retail operations. As well as its stores, Kingfisher Group also has a shared service office in Krakow and a sourcing office in Warsaw, which manages Polish suppliers for Castorama Poland as well as developing export business for Polish suppliers to Kingfisher’s other markets.
As such, Kingfisher plc makes a significant contribution to the Polish economy, bringing quality and value to Polish consumers upgrading their homes, creating tens of thousands of jobs directly and indirectly, and contributing to Poland’s balance of trade by sourcing and exporting Polish-made products.
With plans to expand e-commerce and home delivery as well as further store openings, Castorama is committed to growth in the Polish market.
