DIVERSITY POLICY WITHIN THE GOVERNING BODIES

With women representing 50% of the Sodexo Leadership Team as of August 31, 2025, the gender balance within the Sodexo Leadership Team complies with best market practices.

In early Fiscal 2023, the Board of Directors examined gender diversity within the Group’s governing bodies, ongoing objectives related thereto and the action plan followed by the management.

The Board noted that the targets it set in 2021 —40% women at the highest level of the hierarchy and 38% women among Global Senior Leaders (GSL – top 1,600)— had been achieved, with 46% and 42% women respectively in each of these management tiers.

As of August 31, 2025, objectives set for the promotion of women have reached key milestones. On the one hand, the promotion of women to the highest level of the hierarchy —defined as all executives reporting directly to a member of Sodexo’s Leadership Team— has reached 45%. On the other hand, the promotion of women among the Group’s Global Senior Leaders has reached 40%.

For the upcoming period, and in accordance with the AFEP-MEDEF Code, Sodexo will strive to maintain the proportion of women within its executive bodies.

SODEXO LEADERSHIP TEAM SUCCESSION PLAN

• interim succession in the event of temporary incapacity of a member of the Sodexo Leadership Team due to illness or accident;
• unexpected succession in the event of permanent incapacity, death, or resignation of a member of the Sodexo Leadership Team in the short or medium term.

The Nominating Committee reviews this plan each year to ensure its completeness and ability to guarantee business continuity.
