Since the creation of Linedata almost 25 years ago, we have put the development and well-being of our employees at the heart of our strategy. We have invested locally in many charitable initiatives in the areas of education, health and environment.
Every day, this commitment embodies the values of our 1100 employees - smart, passionate and caring - who are dedicated to building a shared sustainable future with all our stakeholders.
Building on our long-standing commitment, we would like to reinforce our social footprint and take a step further in serving the general interest, by redistributing a share of our results and by supporting actions that have a positive impact. This approach strengthens and conveys the fundamental values of Linedata.

Relaxation sessions, workshops on nutrition and other initiatives are offered to employees to nurture their well-being. We are also there to assist the teams on matters of mental health or stress management, because "it is OK not to be OK".

Environmental
As a software company, we are aware of the impact of our digital activity on the environment, which is why we want to contribute positively to global environmental issues by reducing our carbon emissions.
In 2022, Linedata calculated its carbon footprint to define its objectives and its carbon trajectory.
Each employee contributes by adopting pro-environmental behaviour, such as making the most of collaborative tools and changing their digital habits. We also take care to reduce our environmental impact in other areas through several actions: the reduction of CO2 emissions from business trips, the promotion of home-to-office green transportation and the guarantee of best environmental practices in all our offices.
Our partnership policy fully incorporates environmental actions. We regularly engage with our service provider partners and favour cloud hosting solutions for our customers. Within Linedata itself, we opt for hosting our data in the Cloud allowing a reduction in our emissions.
Our ties with digital players and international institutions
