Encouraging accessibility and integration at the workplace In 2019, the percentage of Worldline disabled employees was 1.47% globally and 2.71% in France.

Since 2014, Worldline has signed a Group agreement with French employee representative bodies which was renewed in 2019 and will be valid until 2022. This agreement concerns the employment and professional inclusion of disabled people.
