2.1.5 Running business with integrity and respect for human rights wherever Sodexo operates
Loyalty, respect for people, transparency and integrity: Sodexo’s core values must be known and understood by all employees, who are expected to act in accordance with them. At the center of our ethical principles is our commitment to business integrity. To ensure integrity in all business dealings, Sodexo has adopted strict principles, which are formulated in its Statement of Business Integrity and accompanied by a guide for employees on how to put them into practice. Sodexo’s commitments to Human Rights and Fundamental Rights at Work are laid out in the Human Rights Policy and the Fundamental Rights at Work charter. The Group’s Human Rights policy is based on the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Labor Organization’s (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. Our occupational Health and Safety policy is captured in the Group Health and Safety Policy and Environmental Policy is covered by the Better Tomorrow 2025 roadmap.
The Sodexo Supplier Code of conduct sets forth the rules to which suppliers and sub-contractors are required to commit as a condition of doing business with Sodexo. This Supplier Code of conduct is supported by a Guide to help our suppliers to understand and act on their obligations.
In June 2017, Sodexo and the International Union of Food Workers (IUF) signed an agreement to prevent and combat sexual harassment in the workplace. Sodexo and the IUF want to ensure that all employees are aware of what constitutes sexual harassment, that they fully understand what is expected of them and that they are able to report any concern or suspected abuse confidentially. As a result of this agreement, training of all employees in this policy and their responsibilities became mandatory.
