2.3 Promoting the inclusive development of communities

Sodexo is committed to supporting and promoting diversity, equal opportunity and developing an inclusive workplace culture in every country where we operate. Our teams serve communities worldwide. Our employees must be as diverse and inclusive as the world itself since we are ultimately an integral part of the communities we serve.

As a responsible employer, Sodexo is working to strengthen its culture of inclusion by looking for new ways to promote diversity and improve working conditions for our employees. Sodexo is convinced that gender equality in the teams benefits all of our stakeholders.

As a service provider, the products and services we purchase have a strong impact on our communities. That’s why we are committed to prioritizing purchases from small and medium-sized businesses in order to inject business value back into the communities where we operate.

As a corporate citizen, Sodexo focuses on working with partners who encourage diversity, equity, and inclusion. We partner with local organizations and advocacy groups, and our charitable initiatives focus on empowering minority populations.
