Acting responsibly on a daily basis

1.2 Strategy and performance

Acting responsibly on a daily basis

Anchored in the Group’s DNA since its creation in 1966, corporate responsibility is a cornerstone of Sodexo’s mission and operations. Particularly innovative at the time, this vision and the associated commitments progressed as the Company developed and the issues and collective challenges grew. The key issues developed in accordance with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and identified through the latest materiality assessment carried out by the Group in 2021 (available in chapter 2) confirm the consistency with Sodexo’s commitments as an employer, service provider and responsible company.
