Building a sustainable and responsible ecosystem
Across the world, as part of the sustainable transformation of its activities and to build relationships that benefit all, Sodexo selects suppliers—from large companies to SMEs— that share its commitment, supporting them and engaging them on its requirements throughout the process, from production and processing to transport and delivery.
Thus for example in the UK and in Ireland, Sodexo partners with more than 4,000 suppliers and promotes the development of micro and small businesses as well as social enterprises, and is extending its mentoring program to the 2,500 members of the Partners with Purpose network in 2025. Suppliers' initiatives were showcased at the third annual conference in May 2025, where discussions focused on innovation, sustainability, and social impact, with a clear objective: to make the supply chain more diverse, responsible, agile, and collaborative.
“Our supply partners play a vital role in enabling us to deliver on our purpose every day. What makes our proposition truly unique is the strength of our long-term relationships with our most critical and strategic suppliers. Their reliability, innovation, creativity, and partnership are deeply valued.”
Supporting the health and well-being of generations
For over 15 years, Sodexo has been providing food services for staff and patients across all 37 Nuffield Health hospitals in the United Kingdom. With a new contract worth an annual £19 million, Nuffield Health has chosen to extend its collaboration with Sodexo for an additional five years from 2028.
This renewal reflects Nuffield Health’s trust and strengthens Sodexo’s commitment to delivering tasty, nutritious meals, while supporting its client’s mission: to improve the health and well-being of the population.
Sustainability is central to the partnership, with the aim of helping patients and staff develop healthy eating habits and lifestyles with minimal environmental impact by promoting vegan and vegetarian dishes.
Recognition
Sodexo has obtained the Soil Association’s "Food for Life Served Here” bronze certification for the quality and local sourcing of the food services provided within the 37 Nuffield Health hospitals.
