The Edenred Group believes that our business should contribute to the social and economic growth of the countries, regions and cities where we work, and enhance the value of their wealth, heritage and culture.
Since 2002 we have included a “dashboard” in our Annual Report showing various indicators and the progress made during the year, plus our Group targets for responsibility to shareholders, clients, employees, suppliers, the environment and local communities.
Each department of the Edenred Group is responsible for improving and implementing our sustainable development work. We decided our 2010 targets in 2006 and are now working towards these goals.
We are on the Forbes Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations list.
