2.4.2 Sodexo Net Zero ambitionSodexo Net Zer
ambition
Anchored in the Group’s DNA since its creation in 1966, corporate responsibility is a cornerstone of Sodexo’s mission and operations. Standards, methods and tools to measure carbon emissions are improving and becoming more precise year after year. Committed to rigorous performance tracking, Sodexo communicates its performance in terms of carbon emissions and the progress of its transformation annually. Sodexo’s Climate ambition is to reach Net Zero by 2040, which implies an average -4.2% annual carbon emissions reduction. This is a theoretical indication because the Sodexo reduction trajectory will not be a linear one.
