1.2 Strategy and performance

Non-financial performance

Everywhere, Sodexo teams are fully mobilized to ensure the health and safety of all and pursue the corporate responsibility roadmap to contribute to a better future. Adapted to the challenges of today and tomorrow, Better Tomorrow 2025 comprises nine commitments. It drives the deployment of our corporate responsibility actions and measures their impact in the countries where we operate. In 2022, the teams fully supported the gradual resumption of activities on client sites and worked to achieve our objectives, notably in terms of natural resources preservation and inclusive and sustainable practices.

Disclosure and transparency 

Sodexo is convinced that clear, comparable and accessible information on its financial and non-financial performance enables all of its stakeholders to make informed decisions. Since Sodexo’s creation, its financial, social and environmental performance has been publicly disclosed in the Universal Registration Document. To ensure transparency, the information and indicators have been audited by an independent third party for each of the past ten years.
