Everywhere, Sodexo teams are fully mobilized to ensure the health and safety of all and pursue the Better Tomorrow 2025 corporate responsibility roadmap to contribute to a better future.
During Fiscal 2020 , Sodexo faced an unprecedented decline in business in the second half of the year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, significantly impacting its non-financial performance and the company’s workforce.
Sodexo is convinced that clear, comparable and accessible information on its financial and non-financial performance, enables all of its stakeholders to make informed decisions. Since Sodexo’s creation, our financial, social, societal and environmental performance has been publicly disclosed in the Universal Registration Document. To ensure transparency, the information and indicators have been audited by an independent third party for each of the past nine years.
