A new entity in employee benefits
Pluxee, the division specializing in employee benefits of the services giant Sodexo, will take off on the stock market in 2024. This activity benefits from strong dynamism with organic growth in the third quarter (ending May) exceeding expectations (+25 .5% against 17.5% expected). The new entity will thus be able to better compete with its competitor Edenred. Since its split from the Accor group in 2010, this company has seen its business jump and almost double. Having become the world leader in restaurant vouchers, it even recently joined the flagship Paris market index, the CAC 40. This success stems from targeted acquisitions, international development and successful digitization.
