# Gift experience
By continuing to improve benefits aimed at making life easier for employees and companies
Thanks to the majority stake it took in French startup Wedoogift, which became Glady in 2022, Sodexo now offers a comprehensive and unique digital gift experience to companies, corporate work councils, public authorities and employees. Glady grouped all of the solutions and benefits together on a single platform and developed a personalized, transparent and easy-to-use app to make life even easier for employees and companies and to improve the customer experience. Sodexo Benefits & Rewards offers the most extensive and innovative offer on the French market, in paper, card or electronic version, for nearly 50,000 clients and five million employees.
# Schools France
By committing to the quality of school meals
With 770,000 meals served at schools every day in France, Sodexo is fully committed to providing access to healthy, premium quality, sustainable food at an affordable price, because schools are also a place where students learn about nutrition and socializing. An exclusive study* conducted in 2021 showed that school restaurants have evolved to match more closely than ever families’ expectations. Some 63% of the parents surveyed felt that meals served in schools had improved over the past 10 years. This positive perception was made possible by the food offerings available at school. Over two-thirds of the parents felt that their children either had a more balanced diet at school than at home or that the two were equivalent. This recognition of the nutritional quality offered is especially striking given the very high standards of French parents when it comes to school meals. This is an accomplishment to be proud of for Sodexo and its teams. This also solidifies our responsibility for continually upgrading our school food fare to increase its accessibility, quality and sustainability while providing well-being and delicious taste through our meals.
*“The French and school canteens” Elabe study for Sodexo, carried out from June 24 to 29, 2021 with two samples: a sample of 1,002 people representative of the French population aged 18 and over, drawn up according to the quota method, with regard to the criteria of sex, age, socio-professional category, urban area category and region of residence; an oversample of 500 parents for a total of 770 parents surveyed, with at least one child dining at least once a week in the school restaurant.
