# Future of food
By transforming food models
Sodexo is responding to new consumer trends by rolling out new multi-channel offerings of healthy and varied food at its restaurants and across its delivery platforms, by developing new concepts in the areas of convenience offers, contactless grocery stores, food stands and smart vending machines. As a complement to its reinvention of internal offerings, Sodexo is investing in innovative Foodservice businesses with high growth potential such as Fooditude in the United Kingdom, whose teams make fresh, premium-quality meals at a central production unit in London that are then delivered to corporate clients. The Group has also acquired Frontline Food Services, a major player in the rapidly growing snack take-out and vending machine market in North America.
# Health through food
By focusing our efforts on the dietary needs of every consumer
In line with its historical focus, Sodexo is rolling out more and more initiatives to meet the needs of consumers: growing demand for local and authentic foods, more plant-based and sustainable diet, and giving priority to health through food, etc. In the United Kingdom, the Group has launched the Healthy Futures Partnership with the British Nutrition Foundation, a public-facing charity which aims to give people, educators and organizations access to reliable information in nutrition. The goal is to positively impact the 250,000 children and young people across the 550 state and independent schools where Sodexo and its subsidiary, Alliance in Partnership, operate. At the same time, Sodexo has deployed Mindful Active, an educational tool that military personnel and their families at the Portsmouth Naval Base can use anytime to access tips for improving their diet, health and well-being. Needs and expectations are changing in corporate settings too. After conducting a survey in 2021 of new food expectations among workers in Brazil, the new on-site Foodservice offering Sabor Brasil was launched to bring employees healthy but delicious meals that promote optimal quality of life, health and energy on a day-to-day basis.
