In Fiscal 2020, this figure included only On-site Services work related accidents.

Sodexo’s lost time incident rate (LTIR) corresponds to the number of accidents per 200,000 hours worked. 200,000 hours worked is equal to 100 full-time employees working for one full year.

The LTIR includes safety incidents (injuries) and work-related health issues (illnesses) that lead to an employee being unable to work.

The LTIR has been adjusted to exclude all paid hours for furlough connected to Covid-19.

For Fiscal 2021, the LTIR was down -7.8% despite including for the first time all Personal & Home Services and Benefits & Rewards Services activities. On a comparable basis, the LTIR would have decreased by -16.9% compared to last year.

In 2021, Sodexo and the International Union of Food, Agricultural, Hotel, Restaurant, Catering, Tourism, Tobacco and Allied Workers’ Associations (IUF), the global trade union federation for workers throughout the food chain, have signed a declaration of intent on health and safety, reinforcing their commitments and priorities to promote the rights of employees to a safe and healthy working environment.

Sodexo and the IUF have long been committed to health and safety, and the context of the Covid-19 pandemic had provided the catalyst to formalize that commitment.

This is the first declaration of intent on health and safety in the industry and builds further on the relationship between Sodexo and the IUF, which includes the 2011 international framework agreement on fundamental rights for human beings and the 2017 joint commitment to preventing sexual harassment.
