Fondé en 1997 au Japon, Rakuten propose un écosystème de plus de 80 services digitaux complémentaires, disponibles dans 30 pays, dans des domaines aussi variés que l’e-commerce, les télécommunications, les Fintech, la publicité ou encore l’Intelligence Artificielle. En France, Rakuten est le pionnier de l’économie collaborative et circulaire. Sa plateforme inclusive permet aux grandes enseignes comme aux TPE/PME locales de commercialiser leurs produits à une très large communauté d’acheteurs et de bénéficier d’outils technologiques et de services innovants pour développer leur activité, en ligne comme en magasins, via le click & collect notamment. L’engagement de Rakuten en faveur d’un e-commerce vertueux se traduit aussi par son approche non concurrentielle, qui encourage les commerçants comme les particuliers à revendre leurs produits, faisant de la plateforme un acteur majeur de la seconde main. La réussite de Rakuten repose ainsi sur une double promesse : le pouvoir d’acheter et de revendre. Aujourd’hui, plus de 12 millions de Français profitent de cet engagement via le Club R. Plus qu’un programme de fidélité, le Club R récompense acheteurs et vendeurs et favorise le développement de l’économie circulaire. Fidèle à ses valeurs fondatrices, Rakuten prône un modèle de digitalisation responsable, pour les commerçants, pour l’environnement et pour le consommateur : un e-commerce qui met tout le monde d’accord.
