UTA Edenred | Road Traffic

Minor and more serious accidents are a frequent occurrence on Europe's roads, sometimes with serious consequences. To fight this, the European Union has instated an official directive - the "European Road Safety Charter", or ERSC for short. The ERSC aims to save 25,000 lives on the road, with a main goal of reducing the number of road casualties in EU countries by half by the year 2020.

Communities, organisations and companies from various industries across Europe commit themselves to this programme. ERSC participants take various measures to help reach the programme's goal. UTA Edenred was among the first to sign. UTA Edenred was among the first to sign.

In order to fulfil this voluntary commitment, we have taken concrete measures to ensure road safety.
