Because food is not only a means of sustenance but also a human bond, a matter of individual and collective health, and a social issue, Sodexo has the means and the responsibility to drive behavioral change and contribute to the essential food transition. By listening to its clients and consumers and mobilizing its chefs, teams, suppliers and its entire ecosystem, Sodexo is moving from conviction to action to transform dietary practices, by providing accessible offers that are good for one's health, good for the planet and simply good, with the aim of making sustainability desirable.
As a privileged observer of the changes in people’s behaviors, expectations and aspirations, Sodexo launched an International Sustainable Food Barometer with the aim of identifying concrete obstacles and levers to induce changes in eating habits.
Conducted in 2023 with Harris Interactive among more than 5,000 people in Brazil, France, the United Kingdom and the United States, this exclusive study highlighted the nearuniversal awareness of the urgent need to change eating habits and the positive perception of this change. However, the survey revealed a gap between aspirations and actual behaviors, with the awareness of the feeling of urgency coming up against entrenched eating habits, the barrier of sustainable food prices, and primarily individual concerns.
These results are a call for action. By sharing them with its entire sector, Sodexo affirms its position as a pioneer and a leader of a global movement to accelerate the shift towards sustainable eating habits.
