Beef

Beef, in various forms, is the main cattle product that Sodexo purchases. Sodexo’s cattle footprint including both raw/primary beef and processed beef is 40,159 tons. Raw/primary beef (including ground beef), the priority focus of our beef commitment, represents 33,242 tons.

In Fiscal 2023, to begin mapping its beef supply chain in Brazil, Sodexo launched a supplier questionnaire to understand their actions and alignment with Sodexo’s commitment as well as their traceability tools and capabilities.

The percentage of cage free eggs has increased for both shell and liquid in Fiscal 2023.

For 87% of Sodexo revenues, we are on track to achieve 100% shell and liquid cage free eggs by 2025.

Austria, Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, have already achieved 100%.

Brazil, France and United Kingdom have done major achievements this year.

For Australia, Austria, Belgium, Finland, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, we have decided to go further to our commitment for cage free by adding “processed” which means that for these countries by 2025, 100% processed eggs will be also cage free.

For the 13% of Sodexo’s revenues remaining, local context holds us back.

In Algeria, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, India, Israel, Malaysia, Mexico, Oman, Peru, Philippines, Qatar, South Africa, Singapore, Turkey, Thailand, UAE and Vietnam, we are investing time and energy to better understand market maturity and legislation landscape. Our buyers work closely with our suppliers to support them in improving their practices without compromising their economic survival.

Sodexo’s ambition is to be the world leader in sustainable food and valued experiences. Plant-based recipes, alongside vegetarian and low-carbon recipes, contribute to a healthy and sustainable diet and form an important part of Sodexo’s Climate and Sustainable Eating strategies.

The above indicator is a weighted average of dozens of centrally planned menus across Sodexo countries and activities for the 4th quarter of Fiscal 2023. With this result, Sodexo is on track to achieve its target of 33% plant-based recipes in our centrally planned menus and have a head start towards providing 70% low-carbon meals on-site by 2030.

Sodexo has been accelerating on this topic as evidenced by the sustainability focused refresh of global brand Modern Recipe, the Sustainable Eating Masterclass developed in Europe and the U.S. Universities commitment to 50% plant-based recipes. The effort has been recognized with Sodexo receiving an A+ rating on the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) Protein scorecard.
