Improving the quality of life of its stakeholders is one of Edenred's missions associated with the following two ambitions: to be an employer of choice, and to contribute to local dynamism.
IdealPeople: improve quality of life
Being an employer of choice
Edenred seeks to support its employees throughout their professional lives. First, thanks to projects aimed at attracting diverse talents and allowing them to reach their full potential.
Among its initiatives, the Edenstep graduate program gives young graduates two years of access to positions of responsibility in an international environment.
Bringing together some 20 employees with 5-10 years of professional experience, Talent Week aims to develop the Group's young talents.
The Edenred Executive Academy is a program for more experienced employees. Those with high potential can pave the way for their future career progression by working on various topics such as leadership, business development and personal development.
Moreover, in several countries, the Great Place To Work initiative allows Edenred to measure its employees’ job satisfaction and improve the quality of their work life accordingly.
Finally, in line with Edenred's value of entrepreneurial spirit, each employee is an actor in their personal development and career. The evolution of the Group as well as the agility of its structures make it possible to regularly offer employees new opportunities.

Edenred is a multi-local company, and proud of its multiculturalism. The Group is aware that the diversity of its employees brings strength and richness, while reflecting the diversity of its clients.
In the unparalleled situation stemming from the global health crisis, the Group unveiled its employer brand for the first time. It aims to bring out the uniqueness of the Edenred adventure for each employee, as well as its global reach. The employer brand is built around three key strengths:
- a fast-growing company committed to people at work;
- working in an ever-changing playground of opportunities;
- inspiring teams connected by a shared passion.
Edenred is committed to promoting its core values in respect for human rights, labor regulations and good environmental practices, as evidenced by its signing of the United Nations Global Compact.

For the 2025 reference period, Edenred SE’s index score was above the threshold set by the decree, coming in at 93/100.
| Score | Target | |
|---|---|---|
| Pay gap between men and women | 38 | 40 |
| Individual pay raise gap between men and women | 20 | 20 |
| Individual promotion rate gap between men and women | 15 | 15 |
| Percentage of female employees given a raise on returning from maternity leave, if pay raises were granted in their absence | 15 | 15 |

| Total | 93 | 100 |
Convinced of the importance of workplace gender equality, Edenred SE is already launching several initiatives to promote gender diversity throughout the Group and ensure women and men are on an equal footing.
Contributing to local development
Edenred carries out solidarity initiatives throughout the year in partnership with local organizations, taking various forms such as financial and non-financial donations and corporate philanthropy. These actions reflect Edenred’s commitment to local communities and enable each entity to address the specific needs of its local area. In 2025, more than 250 organizations were supported across all countries where the Group operates, enabling Edenred employees to get involved with local communities on projects focused on food, access to the job market, environmental protection, and assistance for people in need.
This commitment takes shape primarily through direct donations from the Group to partner organizations. Since 2025, Edenred has supported United Nations' Share The Meal, an organization dedicated to fighting global hunger. In 2025, the associated communication campaign and the EdenRaid sports challenge helped fund 102,916 meals through Edenred and its users. Launched in 2017, EdenRaid invites employees to run, walk, or cycle toward a common goal, thereby demonstrating collective mobilization in support of a charitable cause.
Edenred’s commitment also takes the form of indirect donations through stock donation programs offered to employees who use the Group’s solutions. In France, Edenred partners with the Red Cross and the Cocagne Network through a fundraising initiative powered by Ticket Restaurant® cards. The funds raised help finance food aid initiatives, such as food distribution, the purchase of refrigeration equipment to collect and store fresh produce, the establishment of community food pantries, and post-emergency relief efforts following natural disasters. By 2025, this initiative had raised over 1.8 million euros.

Diverse forms of solidarity
Other forms of solidarity complement this initiative, notably in-kind donations - such as basic necessities, books, computers, or food - as well as volunteer work and corporate philanthropy. In Brazil, Edenred made in-kind donations that helped more than 8,000 people through various organizations such as the Centro Espírita Nosso Lar Casas André Luiz (for people with disabilities), the Associação Meninos e Meninas de Progresso - AMMEP (for children and youth), and the NGO DaRua (for people experiencing homelessness).
Edenred also works with certain organizations to help people facing challenges gain access to the job market. For example, Edenred has been a partner of "Sport dans la Ville" since 2018 and is particularly involved in the "Entrepreneur dans la Ville" program. In addition to providing annual financial support, Edenred teams get involved by serving on the judging panels for the "Entrepreneurs dans la Ville" program or by mentoring new entrepreneurs. Through this diverse range of initiatives, Edenred enables its entities to engage locally in concrete and tailored ways, thereby sustainably strengthening their economic and social impact in their communities.
