Sodexo's answer to these matters Sodexo addresses biodiversity risks in its value chain by promoting responsible sourcing practices: avoiding products linked to deforestation, protecting natural habitats, and supporting sustainable agriculture. The Group works with certified suppliers (e.g., RSPO for palm oil, Rainforest Alliance for coffee and cocoa) and engages in soil-friendly practices to limit erosion and preserve fertility. |

IRO Name Reputational and legal risk in case of non-compliance with local regulations in favor of the protection of biodiversity, nature and landscapes. |
