INTERVIEW SANDEEP BANERJEE Managing Director Edenred India

Lots of youngsters can enjoy a balanced meal in our cafeteria thanks to Ticket Restaurant™.

Ticket Service® is the perfect match for essential needs, like food and hygiene. It also allows us to respond very quickly, and we know exactly how the aid we offer will be used.

This year, I am entitled to the local authority's Ticket Service® to pay the cost of traveling to university. Otherwise, this would have cost too much for my budget.

"Our daughter will be able to attend school for 4 years, thanks to the School Choice Vouchers.

The “Carte Jeune 91” allowed me to buy tickets for a concert that I would not have been able to afford otherwise.

Created at the request of the Junaeb institution, Ticket Farmacia™ offers a personalized response to benefi ciaries' needs, by taking account of the different attribution criteria (type of product, list of doctors, predefi ned prices, etc.).

“I am especially proud of the launch of the PSD (Public System Distribution) program, intended to provide food aid for more than 5 million fa- milies living below the poverty line in Madhya Pradesh, one of India's most populous states, with 60 million inhabitants. Organizing this pro- gram was a complex matter, because it was to coordinate the expertise of all the partners (IT, new biometric technologies, etc.) and distri- bution through social grocery stores. Edenred issues and delivers the vouchers, then collects and processes the used vouchers. The remar- kable thing is the combination of different types of expertise, like the use of new techniques for

the biometric identifi cation of benefi ciaries, and the campaigns to raise the awareness of the stakeholders, from the merchants to the benefi - ciaries, in favor of a socially responsible attitude. The expertise that has been deployed in Mad- hya Pradesh offers a fantastic opportunity to di- versify our activities and to focus on other public social programs, for example in healthcare and education.”

HEALTHCARE

Convinced by the quality of its solutions for the distribu- tion of social benefi ts, the Chilean National Council for Educational Aid JUNAEB grants renewed its collaboration with Edenred. The Ticket Farmacia® card was launched in July 2010 to offer access to medication for the under- privileged, and for children in particular. Funded in full by the government, this card provides access to medication in 300 affi liated dispensing chemists for 2,000 children.

TRANSPORT

Public authorities use transport vouchers to help certain catego- ries of the population in precarious situations to access to a means of transport in order to remain mobile (the aged, the unemployed, students, etc.). These vou- chers, which replace the payment of cash allowances, can be used to travel by train, tram, taxi, etc. They are used in France, thanks to the Ticket Service® voucher and other vouchers issued on behalf of public authorities, and in Belgium with the Chèque Taxi.

SPORT AND CULTURE

Edenred also proposes solu- tions to public authorities to deploy social aid programs in the fi elds of sport and culture. By way of example, the Depart- mental Council of Essonne in France has set up an ambi- tious program designed to help young people take their fi rst steps towards becoming independent, which places the “Carte Jeune 91” at the heart of the department's policy for young people. This system provides them with access to training (driving license, qualifi cations to take part in social activities, etc.), leisure and cultural activities (concerts, theater, cinemas, swimming pools, book- stores, etc.) and public transport throughout France and in Europe. In 2011, 60,000 local youngsters aged between 16 and 19 benefi ted from this system, which has 400 affi - liated partners and sets the standard for social aid pro- grams in France.

EDUCATION

Edenred is deploying and managing two social action projects in India at the request of independent non-pro- fi t organizations. The School Choice Vouchers program aims to cover the costs of educating 400 young girls from underprivileged backgrounds in 80 schools in Delhi for 4 years. As well as covering school tuition costs, the vou- chers issued for the purchase of textbooks, uniforms and meals are accepted in a network of affi liated merchants. Edenred manages the complete system, from the affi lia- tion of the schools, through the issue and personaliza- tion of vouchers, to the process to refund the schools. Edenred has also been appointed to manage the 5-year Enable Vouchers Education program that offers 850 underprivileged children the possibility of benefi ting from a quality education at a low cost.

HUMAN SERVICES

In France, the government launched the universal service job voucher, Ticket CESU, to create jobs in the human services sector and to fi ght against the informal economy. Today, local authorities, and in particular the French departmen- tal authorities, use this voucher to allocate social aid to citizens who meet the criteria laid down by the law or the local authority (fi nancial resources, age, family situation, etc.). Ticket CESU makes sure that funds are used pro- perly and helps to manage aid programs. These solutions are also used in Belgium and Italy, respectively with the ALE voucher and the Ticket Family voucher, which is part of a program of fi nancing from the European Social Fund.
