Fiscal 2021 Universal Registration Document

Sodexo was the first company in its sector to publicly announce its environmental goals, making a commitment to fight climate change at every level of its value chain. The Group has been working with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) since 2010 to better understand, measure and reduce its overall carbon footprint with the help of its clients and suppliers. Since 2019, Sodexo was also one of the first multinationals to adopt a reduction target for its direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions (Scopes 1, 2 and 3): 34% by 2025 as compared to 2017. This target has been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), and is in accordance with the Paris Agreement 1.5^°C scenario.

Our unique business model means that Sodexo works directly at client sites, which gives the Group added responsibility. 99% of Sodexo’s carbon emissions come from its clients’ and suppliers’ businesses. As a responsible partner, Sodexo strives to motivate its stakeholders to choose sustainable practices and collaborative policies that contribute effectively to the transition to a low-carbon economy. Sodexo’s head start in terms of corporate responsibility gives the Company’s stakeholders a real advantage as they work towards reaching their own goals.

Since 2017, Sodexo has reduced its direct greenhouse gas emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) by 37.2% in absolute value, and its supply chain emissions (Scope 3) by 23.2% in absolute value. In 2020, Sodexo’s approach won the Company a place on the prestigious climate “A list” of the CDP (previously Carbon Disclosure Project).
