2019
Sodexo is one of the first companies worldwide to have its -34% carbon emissions reduction objective approved by the Sciences Based Target initiative (SBTi) (compared to a 2017 baseline), an international standard-setter in the fight against climate change.
2023
Sodexo is the first company of its sector with a global Net Zero Objective by 2040 validated by the SBTi.
Every 5 years, companies with objectives approved by the SBTi must update their standards used in the calculation of carbon emissions.
Sodexo, being a pioneer company on the subject, is today one of the first companies to move forward with this re-baselining. Following the re-baselining that occurred this year:
• the absolute value of its carbon emissions for the reference year (Fiscal 2017) decreased significantly from 24,155,579 tCO2e to 17,032,739 tCO2e;
• Sodexo’s carbon emissions for Fiscal 2023 is 13,512,956 tCO2e, representing a reduction of -5.4% compared to Fiscal 2022.
