#Drive
Technology for efficiency and performance.
Using innovative technologies, the Sodexo teams ensure that equipment is maintained effectively and that its life cycle and performance are constantly optimized.
For example, connected objects are used to monitor, automate and control building systems in real time to improve occupant comfort and performances.
Data analytics, another key component, provides valuable information about energy use patterns, equipment performance and occupant behavior. This information allows proactive maintenance, predictive analytics and informed decision-making.
In addition, automation and remote monitoring contribute to efficiency and convenience. Automation controls building operations based on predefined rules, while monitoring, via Sodexo command centers, allows a fast response to issues or emergencies.
For example, with its dynamic cleaning service, Sodexo improves cleaning efficiency by monitoring occupancy, cleanliness of spaces and availability of consumables in real time in order to proactively allocate staff and supplies. At the site of a leader in fast moving consumer goods, a dynamic cleaning test resulted in a nearly 5% reduction in labor requirements, while improving the cleanliness of living and working environments.
76.9% of Sodexo food sites around the world have deployed the WasteWatch program with an average -40.7% reduction in food waste
#Optimize
Sodexo deploys its expertise to contribute to its clients’sustainable performance.
Thanks to its recognized expertise in the management of energy and resource consumption, Sodexo takes action on a global scale to reduce the carbon impact of its activities and those of its clients.
The Group continues to roll out its WasteWatch program in an effort to halve food waste by 2025, thereby reducing its clients’ waste management.
For example, Sodexo has implemented a global strategy at the headquarters of Cox Enterprises, one of its clients in the United States, to limit the site’s environmental impact via WasteWatch. This strategy is paying off, with a massive 92% reduction in waste, earning the company the distinction of Zero Waste Business by Zero Waste USA.
Sodexo continues to offer its clients comprehensive energy management that allows them to optimize their sites. For one of its clients in the food processing and packaging sector, Sodexo analyzed the energy consumption of the client’s sites in order to propose tailored solutions such as optimization of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning, lighting and energy monitoring projects. These actions led to an annual reduction of 21.14 GWh, representing a saving of almost 2.9 million euros and of 7,727 tons of carbon emissions.
« We are extremely proud of reaching our Zero Waste goal. Together with the support and expertise of our valued partner Sodexo, we have shown that it is possible to stay focused on a long-term sustainability goal that creates positive impact for our business, our communities and our planet. »
