Lyoness was established in 2003 as a global and multi-sector Shopping Community for consumers, as well as a worldwide Customer Loyalty Programme for Lyoness Loyalty Merchants. The company is now active with approximately 1,000 employees in 47 markets worldwide, and currently, has over 7 million Members who receive exclusive shopping Benefits - for example, Cashback with their purchases as well as Shopping Points - while Loyalty Merchants gain loyal customers to whom they offer special Benefits. So, how does it work? It's simple: Lyoness offers an unbeatable network of chain stores, small and medium-sized enterprises and online Loyalty Merchants that enable Members to benefit from shopping in every sector all over the world. Members have the chance to use the Cashback Benefit and collect attractive Shopping Points at more than 75,000 Loyalty Merchants and at over 300,000 Cashback Points. 2008, in addition to Members and Loyalty Merchants, children, adolescents, and families in need have also been benefiting in the area of education thanks to the Lyoness Child & Family Foundation. In 2011 a second Foundation was established, the Lyoness Greenfinity which promotes sustainable global environmental protection, runs innovative climate protection projects and invests in the use of renewable energies.
