Edenred joins the Euronext CAC 40 ESG® index
Edenred, the world leader in earmarked
funds solutions, will join the Paris stock
exchange’s Euronext CAC 40
ESG index on September
19, 2022,
taking its place alongside other
companies demonstrating
outstanding environmental, social and
governance (ESG) practices.
The Euronext CAC 40 ESG index brings together
the 40 companies in the CAC Large 60 index with the best
environmental, social and governance practices, based on an
independent assessment by Moody’s ESG Solutions.
Edenred’s inclusion in the Euronext CAC 40 ESG
index is recognition of the Group’s commitment to sustainable
development. This commitment is embodied in its ambitious “Ideal”
ESG policy, its portfolio of digital solutions enabling more
responsible behaviors and its purpose, “Enrich connections. For
good.”
Bertrand Dumazy,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
said: “Edenred is proud to have been selected by
Euronext to join the CAC 40 ESG index. This distinction rewards our
commitment to sustainable development through our “Ideal” policy,
which is measured via concrete targets for 2022 and 2030. Moreover,
thanks to our digital solutions that promote more virtuous
behaviors every day in areas such as balanced nutrition, soft
mobility and financial inclusion, Edenred is helping to make the
working world a better place for everyone, each and every day. This
recognition is a tribute to our purpose – ‘Enrich connections.
For good.’ – and to our 10,000 employees in 45 countries
worldwide, whom I would like to thank here.”
Ambitious ESG
commitments supporting
sustainable and responsible value creation
As a signatory of the United Nations (UN) Global
Compact, Edenred is contributing to 12 of the 17 UN Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs). In particular, thanks to its digital
earmarked funds platform, Edenred is creating ecosystems that help
combat the informal economy, fraud, food insecurity, inequality and
climate change.
The Group also draws on its “Ideal” ESG policy
launched in 2017, which is based on three pillars and ten key
indicators:
- Ideal People: improve quality of
life
- Ideal Planet: preserve the
environment
- Ideal Progress: create value
responsibly
Edenred is confident in its ability to achieve
or exceed its targets for 2022.
Edenred’s commitment has been recognized by
several ESG rating organizations. The Group is part of the
FTSE4Good ethical investment stock market index, for example, and
received a score of 79 out of 100 from S&P Global Ratings in
2022 – well above the average score for companies evaluated
worldwide. Moody’s ESG Solutions also rewarded Edenred’s
performance this year by increasing the Group’s score by 5 points,
thus raising Edenred’s status from “Robust” to “Advanced”.
