Since Fiscal 2020, we have been reporting greenhouse gas emissions reductions compared to the 2017 baseline, allowing us to assess our progress towards the -34% target set by the Group and validated in July 2019 by the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi).

We have recorded an increase in Scope 1 emissions compared to the previous period, which is due to the recovery in post-Covid-19 activity and mainly linked to the increase in fuel oil consumption generated by the resumption of business travel. On the contrary, the intensity is still improving this year, down 24.4% compared to 2017, thanks to the increase in the share of electricity from renewable sources and less impacting fuel oil such as biodiesel in the energy mix.

The reduction in absolute value of greenhouse gas emissions from scopes 1 & 2 compared to the baseline year 2017 is in line with our forecasts and the trajectory that the Group must follow in order to achieve the overall objective of -34% reduction by 2025, despite the resumption of post-pandemic activity.

*Sodexo does not publish this KPI as the calculation methodology is in the process of being made more reliable.

For the first time, we are publishing all the indicators related to greenhouse gas emissions by respecting the categories of the GHG Protocol - Protocol on Greenhouse Gases. We have also carried out a recalculation of the baseline year emissions, as recommended by the SBTi. This methodological change allows us to now align ourselves with international GHG reporting standards and SBTi recommendations.

The absolute reduction in Scope 3 supply chain greenhouse gas emissions compared to the 2017 baseline remains significant, but less significant compared to the prior year. This is due to the resumption of activity in 2022.

The reduction in intensity of greenhouse gas emissions from the Scope 3 supply chain nevertheless remains significant, confirming the efforts made by the local purchasing teams to reduce emissions linked to our suppliers and ensure the achievement of the objectives of the Better Tomorrow 2025.

Carbon footprint of the Benefits & Rewards Activity

In Fiscal 2022, Sodexo calculated for the first time the carbon footprint of the Benefits & Rewards Activity. This activity, representing 4% of Group revenues, has its own carbon footprint specificities very different from the On-site Services activity emissions.

After a pilot phase involving France, Belgium, Turkey, India, Chile and Brazil, the reporting was deployed to all countries, with a 100% participation rate. This allowed the Group to estimate the total Benefits & Rewards carbon footprint at 33 ktCO2e, less than 1% of Sodexo's total carbon footprint.
