"Ideal": our CSR policy

Since its origins in 1962, Edenred's mission has been to make the world of work a better world for all. It was therefore natural to engage in each of its activities in a voluntary approach to social, societal and environmental responsibility called "Ideal", aligned with Edenred's 5 values and purpose.

As part of its Beyond_22-25 strategic plan, which places the ESG dimension at the heart of all its actions, Edenred has announced an acceleration of its extra-financial commitments. In line with the standards of SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative), who has formally approved its objectives in 2024, the Group has committed to Net Zero Carbon by 2050. It has also stepped up the objectives of its Ideal policy, with the aim of strengthening by 2030 its status of employer of choice and Company for good through its solutions that encourage more virtuous and responsible behaviors linked to food and mobility.

In 2024, Edenred finalized its "double materiality" assessment, which measures both financial and impact materiality. Capitalizing on the analyses and interviews conducted in 2022, the issues were prioritized and then updated following the publication of the 12 new European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).

The exercise confirmed the focuses of the People, Planet and Progress pillars and highlighted the following priority issues:

Governance: IT security, personal data, and business ethics;
Human Resources: talent management, promotion of diversity, and skills development;
Environment: the fight against climate change, supply chain decarbonization, development of eco-designed solutions, promotion of sustainable mobility, and healthy and sustainable food;
Economic impact: customer satisfaction, innovation, accessibility and impact of solutions.
