Edenred rallies to protect the environment for Earth Day

Since 2010, the Group's employees have been enthusiastically organizing initiatives to measure our environmental footprint.

The success of Edenred's environmental approach relies on the commitment of all of its stakeholders. It is in this context that the Group promotes Earth Day, a large-scale event that brings countless employees together around a common goal: educate and train about eco-friendly practices. 

The 2013 theme, "food and the environment," sparked the creativity of Edenred's subsidiaries, which prepared a variety of actions in order to:

• promote awareness of how our activities impact the environment
• understand reflexes to be adopted for everyday eco-friendly behavior
• share good practices with colleagues and stakeholders (clients, affiliates and beneficiaries)

27 Edenred subsidiaries took part in the 2013 edition of Earth Day
