• Pluxee at the service of an ambitious strategic plan
  • As part of its 2025 strategic plan, Pluxee primarily intends to:Accelerate its historical activity, the meal and food benefits business, in particular by strengthening its penetration rate among SMEs.

• Pluxee is a modern and digital brand that reflects the vision, ambition and positioning of the activity in view of the spinoff project announced by Sodexo Group in April 2023.
