CSR Governance
Since the creation of Sodexo in 1966, corporate responsibility has been at the heart of our activities and embedded in our mission. Today, we are all increasingly aware that the choices we make now will impact the world of tomorrow. It is with this in mind that the Impact Department was created. It has a central role within our organization and aims to ensure that our purpose, our values and our CSR commitments are continuously reflected in the services we deliver.

Financial independence ensured through the founding family shareholding
Sodexo’s independence allows us to maintain a long-term vision and strategy and to guarantee the Company’s sustainability. The consistency of our commitment to build an international organization with strong management, to maintain sustainable relationships with all our stakeholders and to develop an integrated quality offering is a reflection of this vision.
