Integration of sustainability-related performance in incentive schemes [GOV-3]
In line with Sodexo’s values and in the best interests of the Company and its stakeholders, the Board of Directors is committed to maintaining a responsible compensation policy that both drives performance and supports Sodexo’s long-term strategy.
Sustainability criteria, including climate-related and talent management objectives, have been embedded in the compensation structure of the Chairwoman & Chief Executive Officer and the Sodexo Leadership Team for several years. These criteria were introduced in annual variable compensation in Fiscal 2015 and extended to long-term incentive plans starting in Fiscal 2021, reinforcing accountability and alignment with Sodexo’s sustainable growth ambitions.
