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.
Workplace gender equality index (February 26, 2026)
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 |
| Number of employees of the underrepresented gender in the top ten highest paid employees | 5 | 10 |
| 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
In 2024, more than 250 charitable initiatives organised across the Group's countries enabled Edenred employees to get involved with local communities on projects around food, environmental protection and support for people in need.
The Group's commitment is also reflected since 2017 in the connected Edenraid sports challenge in support of a NGO. All Edenred employees are invited to run, walk and cycle for the benefit of Médecins sans frontières [Doctors without borders]. In 2025, over 2.4 million kilometres were covered in two months by 6,200 employees across 44 countries, in aid of the Share The Meal charity.
Other relief initiatives are also carried out to support the fight against hunger and poverty, and promote health, education and professional integration, at local and international levels.
For example, Edenred France offers clients the opportunity to donate to two charities: the Red Cross and Réseau Cocagne. In 2025, this initiative raised raised over 1.8 million euros.
In Spain, Edenred has partnered with the NGO Acción contra el Hambre for more than 20 years. Each euro donated by Edenred users is directly allocated by the NGO to food aid for employability.
