Strategy & performance

Pillar 1 / People

Commitment 1: nurture employees' well-being and development

Sodexo employees contribute to improving the daily lives of millions of consumers around the world: their health, safety, well-being and development are the first condition for the Group's positive impact. This is why Sodexo wants to enable its employees to flourish both professionally and personally and intends to offer each of them a work environment that is in line with the Group's heritage and original mission.

Pillar 2 / Clients

Commitment 2: better sourcing from a responsible and trusted supply chain

Behind every purchasing decision, Sodexo embraces an ethical, environmental, and social responsibility that impacts individuals, communities, and ecosystems. With Better Tomorrow 2028, Sodexo is strengthening its efforts to build a more responsible, inclusive, and transparent supply chain, making it more resilient. This approach fosters the sustainable performance of Sodexo and its clients, benefiting all stakeholders.

Commitment 3: better meals that taste good and do good

Sodexo is stepping up its efforts to support the food transition, with a threefold objective: enhancing taste pleasure, promoting the health of its guests, and reducing the carbon impact of its menus. Sodexo aims to support its consumers in this transition by giving them the tools to make informed choices.

Commitment 4: better resource management for energy, water and waste

One third of global production is wasted, while 830 million people face food insecurity. Beyond ethical considerations, food waste has an economic impact and accounts for 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions. As a responsible company, Sodexo plays a major role in limiting it and preserving natural resources. Better Tomorrow 2028 continues and strengthens efforts to combat food waste and efficiently manage resources such as water and electricity, thereby strengthening the environmental performance of sites to meet client expectations.

Pillar 3 / Planet and Society

Commitment 5: reduce pressure on climate and nature

Sodexo recognizes the essential link between its value chain and its impact on the climate and nature. All of its commitments regarding responsible purchasing, low-carbon meals, and efficient resource management contribute to limiting its environmental footprint, affirming its pioneering role in its sector. In addition to the SBTi validation of its carbon trajectory, Sodexo is strengthening the scientific dimension of its approach with the Science-Based Targets for Nature (SBTN) methodology, in order to reduce its impact on nature, in partnership with WWF.

Commitment 6: act for a hunger-free world

Since 1996, Sodexo has had a single philanthropic cause, Stop Hunger, to fight hunger and food insecurity. Stop Hunger operates worldwide through emergency relief, food assistance, and initiatives to empower women and younger generations. This historic commitment continues in Better Tomorrow 2028, with the aim of further amplifying its impact.
