CONTEXT Since 2016 Edenred has embarked in a deep transformation exercise:
A strategic growth plan (called "Next Frontier" and "Beyond"), setting precise growth objectives and levers, per country, per zone and at group level
An acceleration of Edenred's transition to Digital, in its product & service offer, in its core processes and in its IT organization
A much stronger focus on go-to-market strategies, product marketing and customer marketing
A rebranding exercise, to better formulate its mission to the outer world
As of January 2022, Edenred reorganized in 3 Business Lines, with the Benefits and Engagement
Business Line accounting for 65% of Edenred Group results with geographical presence in:
Latin America, notably Brazil
USA, UK and Australia, notably through the acquisition of Reward Gateway in 2023
In October 2022, Edenred revealed its Beyond 22-25 strategy for the Group, and for the Employee Benefits Division which is set on 3 strategic priorities:
1) Scale the Core: in particular Meal & Food solutions. Edenred is the worldwide leader in Employee Benefits, with growth to continue to be fuelled by further penetrating its core markets, through more acquisitions (SME penetration, web-sales and indirect sales), more engagement (innovation and best-in-class customer experience) and more monetisation (pricing & value-added services)
2) Accelerate Beyond Food: Leveraging Edenred's platform advantage to aggregate new benefits (e.g., mobility, as illustrated by their Betterway acquisition in France), building on each country's local tax and regulatory environment.
3) Expand in New Businesses: Focusing on Engagement solutions and growth in the US market, especially through M&A
In 2023, in line with this Beyond Strategy, Edenred acquired GOintegro and Reward Gateway, 2 leadings Employee Engagement providers to materialize this vision.
By widening its Employee Savings offer, integrating new services such as well-being, and expanding its value proposition to Rewards & Recognition solutions, GOintegro and Reward Gateway provide Edenred with a unique opportunity to further accelerate in Beyond Food while enlarging its footprint by entering new promising and fast-growing markets.
