Fiscal 2022 Corporate Responsibility Report

2. CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY AT SODEXO

For the second time, we are publishing the percentage of our consumers offered healthy lifestyle choices. This indicator was collected at Sodexo client sites through SEA (Site Engagement Assessment). SEA is an innovative on-site environmental and societal performance management tool developed by Sodexo. In Fiscal 2022, 4,284 sites participated in SEA which will continue to be rolled out to cover all relevant sites by 2025.

Indicators related to food safety remain stable and at high levels. The pandemic has confirmed that health and safety remains one of the priority topics for clients and consumers. At Sodexo, we are convinced that food safety is everyone's business. This is why through our Food Safety and Hygiene policy, we have defined the essentials that we apply throughout our value chain (evaluations of suppliers, certifications of our sites, training of our teams, etc.).

Another important issue in supporting our employees concerns the preservation of mental health. On World Mental Health Day, which takes place in October each year, webinars are organized globally by Sodexo for its employees, and in October 2021 a portal dedicated to mental health and well-being was launched.

Our business value benefiting SMEs increased significantly in Fiscal 2022. This is mainly due to the implementation of specific monitoring of merchants and affiliates for the Benefits & Rewards Services activity. This increase is also explained by a sharp increase in the Benefits & Rewards Services activity with SMEs in Brazil, representing more than 40% of the value of the indicator.

*As per Sodexo Sustainable Seafood Sourcing Guide.

The share of certified physical palm oil increased sharply compared to the previous period, due to an increase in the volume of purchases of certified palm oil in the United States, France and Belgium. This increase is also due to the decline in Sodexo’s activity in Kuwait, which represented a large volume of purchases of non-certified oil.

Cage free liquid eggs indicator increased significantly during the period due to increases in results in several countries such as the United States, France, Italy and United Kingdom.
