At the end of last year, Edenred Bulgaria joined the 4th edition of Edenraid - a charity sporting event that is held every year.

From October 1 to November 30, 2020, the fourth edition of Edenraid brought together thousands of employees from the group of 46 countries around the world, who demonstrated their unwavering commitment at a time when solidarity is more important than ever.

Despite the difficult conditions in many countries, more than 2,500 participants covered a total distance of about 820,000 km, which is 30% more than last year, many times exceeding the initial target of 500,000 km.

Thanks to this impressive achievement, the Edenred Group was able to make a € 35,000 donation to the NGO Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières) in their actions against Covid-19.

The donation was symbolically handed over on January 8, 2021 to Thierry Allafort-Duverger, General Manager, MSF France, on behalf of all employees of the group.

Bertrand Dumazy, President and CEO of Edenred, said, “I am proud once again of the commitment of our large Edenred family to supporting Doctors Without Borders, an organization that needs our support more than ever in these unprecedented times. "

Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières) is an international medical and humanitarian organization founded in 1971 in Paris by a group of journalists and doctors. Provides health care to people around the world whose lives or health are at risk, especially in situations of conflict, epidemics, pandemics, disasters or exclusion from health care.
