Commuting
First launched in the United States, the Commuter Check® program is meant for both private and public sector companies of fi nancing part of the transport costs that are usually paid by their employees in order to travel to and from work. Four fl exible packages and three cards developed with MasterCard® are available, depending on the travelers' daily needs. 450,000 employees and 12,000 companies in every city nationwide use the Commuter Check® solution, plus the benefi ts and facilities available on the web platform.
Childcare
Thanks to the Childcare Vouchers® program, launched in the United Kingdom in 1989, employers can help fi nance their employees’ childcare costs, so that they can come to work in complete peace of mind, while cutting the em- ployer's taxes at the same time. By the end of 2011, Child- care Vouchers®, a 98% digital solution on the web, had 13,800 clients, 40,000 active affi liates and had attracted 25,000 new benefi ciaries in the course of the year. This solution has since been launched in Portugal, Spain, the Czech Republic, Austria and Latin America.
New solutions
At the end of 2011, Edenred launched the Ticket Mind & Body® smart card in Finland, offering companies a mean of motivating their employees and strengthening loyalty by providing access to sports and cultural activities on offer from 2,000 affi liated merchants. To ay, 83% of mployers offer this type of benefi t, encouraged by a tax exemption of €400 per year and per employee.
Just a few months after the introduction of fi scal and social measures to encourage the use of public transport in Spain, Edenred launched its Ticket Transporte® Card in the second half of 2011. With this solution, employees can benefi t from aid from their employers to cover the cost of traveling to and from work on public transport. With almost 5,000 cards sold in just a few months, Ticket Transporte® accounted for 7% of the growth in issue volume in Spain in 2011.
Eco-friendly purchasing
Ticket EcoCheque® was created in 2009 in Belgium, at the request of the government, to support the purchase of environmentally friendly products. It enables companies to promote responsible purchasing practices by encoura- ging their employees to buy eco-products from affi liated merchants. Today, Ticket EcoCheque® has 31,000 clients, more than 500,000 benefi ciaries and is accepted in a network totaling more than 10,000 affi liated merchants.
Human services
Primarily offered in France in conjunction with the public sector since 2006, and fi nanced entirely or in part by com- panies, works councils or public-sector employers, Ticket CESU helps to offset the cost of a variety of designated human services. The benefi ciaries have access to a variety of services (childcare, educational support, housekeeping, age care, etc.) to help them in their day-to-day lives, at a reduced cost. Ticket CESU addresses current social issues by helping to create jobs and driving greater professiona- lization in the human services sector. There were 175,000 Ticket CESU benefi ciaries in 2011.
