The Up group is expanding its employee benefits offer by integrating two solutions that make life easier for employees. Need an advance on your salary? Need support when you are an employee caregiver? It's possible and it's easy thanks to the solutions offered by start-ups Rosaly and Prev&Care, which have now been integrated into the Up group's offer. The result: less stress and more commitment on a daily basis.

Investing in a CSR approach has always been a matter of course for Up, a pioneering group in the social solidarity economy, in France and Europe, and creator of payment solutions and services with a social and local utility.

Today, the expectations of consumers, employees, public authorities and economic partners regarding a company's ability to actively contribute to the common good are growing. Up wishes to respond to this by strengthening its CSR approach in order to better integrate the expectations of its stakeholders into its corporate strategy. This approach also makes it possible to reaffirm, strengthen and better promote its DNA as a committed company.
