Statement of Euro Disney regarding allegations of racial discrimination in France
involving Adecco and Disneyland Resort Paris
3 February 2006
The Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited the Walt Disney Company to respond to the
article, “French Discrimination Suit Calls Égalité Into Question”, Molly Moore, Washington Post, 15
January 2006: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/01/14/AR2006011401103.html
Following this invitation, Pieter Boterman (Senior Manager, Corporate Communications, Euro Disney)
sent the following statement to the Resource Centre:
“The investigation in the mentioned Adecco case, which involves several large French
companies, is still ongoing. Therefore by French legislation I am not allowed to make
comments or give information about the case itself.
What I can tell you is that Euro Disney is a truly multicultural company that employs cast
members from over 100 different nationalities.
Racism, just as any other form of discrimination is not tolerated at Disneyland Resort
Paris.”
