Sodexo employs more than 426,000 employees in 43 countries, serving 80 million consumers every day (refer to section 2.2.3 Social information for Sodexo's social impact map and note 4.1 of the consolidated financial statements for Segment information and revenue information). Since its creation in 1966, the Group has developed a distinctive responsible business model and an integrated service offering that combines Food and FM Services. This model is designed to create value for all stakeholders by enhancing quality of life, supporting client performance, and ensuring a positive impact on people, communities, and the planet.
Corporate responsibility has been at the heart of Sodexo’s mission from the outset. Today, this commitment translates into the ambition to be the leader in food and services, shaping better everyday experiences and into the progressive transformation of our activities around four key drivers: a sustainable supply chain, low-carbon meals, responsible energy use, and the fight against food waste. These drivers are deeply embedded in Sodexo’s strategy and operations, forming the foundation for our Sustainability roadmap.
Understanding the full scope of our upstream, own operations, and downstream value chain has been an essential step in this journey. In Fiscal 2024, Sodexo mapped its value chain in detail to provide a clear view of where impacts, risks and opportunities occur. This work laid the foundation for conducting our double materiality assessment, which identified Sodexo’s most significant sustainability matters and set the basis for our CSRD reporting.
