Building Edenred with our employees

Our 6,000 employees are all committed to crafting the transformation of Edenred, enabling the Group to

achieve its ambition to be the referent of its Customers. They all share the same passion for their work,

the same determination to contribute to our growth and the same pride in being part of this adventure,

regardless of their culture.

• A quality work environment Edenred offers services to its employees that combine comfort and safety, and allow everyone work effi ciently, according to their circumstances and the needs expressed locally by employees.

• A positive and trustful working atmos- phere Edenred seeks to create a working envi- ronment that is conducive to individual development and fulfi llment. Each Edenred subsidiary regularly measures the quality of the climate in the workplace by conducting in-house surveys and certifi cations, such as “Great Place to Work”, “Investors in People” or “Aon Hewitt” polls. Almost 50% of Eden- red employees currently work in a certifi ed environment. Edenred's ambition is to bring every one of its countries onboard in a certi- fi cation process by 2016.

Ever since the very fi rst Ticket Restaurant® voucher was printed, the story of Edenred's success has been founded on the Group's culture, on the power of an entrepreneurial spi- rit oriented towards service and innovation and on the attention paid to every one of the 6,000 talented individuals who make this collective achievement possible. Every employee, in 38 countries, embodies and represents our sha- red principle of “doing simple things excep- tionally well every day.” This is how Edenred promotes networked working and the opera- tional excellence that allow the Group to deli- ver differentiating added value by listening closely to its stakeholders.

“Entreprendre Différemment ENsemble” (Mo- ving forward differently together) is the name of the corporate mission that was hatched when the Group demerged. A mission that also em- bodies the common ambition to build “a best place to work”. The Group's Human Resources policies support this strategy by meeting the employees' needs with targeted actions taken on a global and a local scale.
