Integrated Report Fiscal 2024

Chaired by Sophie Bellon, Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer, the Sodexo Leadership Team is made up of 12 people who head Functional Departments and Operational Divisions (Geographic Zones and Sodexo Live!).

Its organization reflects a twofold challenge: continue to implement the 2025 strategy while laying the foundations of the longer-term ambition, in line with Sodexo’s mission and by adapting to an ever- changing world.

This agile, responsive team works to implement a unique global strategy, taking into account local operational realities, drawing on the teams’ strong entrepreneurial spirit.

Geographic Zones

By transferring operational accountability to regions and countries starting in October 2022, Sodexo ensures more empowerment and faster decision-making and response times at a local level to best meet the needs of clients and consumers.

Each Geographic Zone is headed by a Zone President with full P&L responsibility for the subsidiaries in that market.

Sodexo’s activities are grouped into three geographic zones:

• North America;
• Europe;
• Rest of the World, which includes Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, Brazil and Latin America.

Sodexo Live!

Sodexo Live!, whose performance is consolidated within the three geographic zones, has a specific business model and global organization, and retains responsibility for implementing its ambitious growth strategy.

Functional Departments

Several specialized Functional Departments lend their expertise and support to the Operational Divisions.

• The “Growth and Commercial” Department is structured to maximize the value of client segmentation and supply chain, and reap the benefits of this throughout the organization, supporting local teams in business development and client retention.
• The “Strategy and Services Innovation” Department ensures that the 2025 strategic plan is implemented in all areas, in both Food and Facilities Management services, based on the various strategic initiatives, the associated investments and solid performance management.
• Because technology, data and digital factors are playing an increasingly central role in the way Sodexo does business today, the “Tech, Data & Digital” Department is also represented on the Leadership Team to enable Sodexo to accelerate its transformation in these areas and meet the needs of clients and consumers, while strengthening its social and environmental contribution.
• The support functions of the General Secretary, Finance, Human Resources and Impact Departments round out the expertise and skills of this leadership team.
