Governance and policies [E1-2]

Sodexo takes a holistic approach to environmental management, embedding climate action, pollution prevention, biodiversity protection, water stewardship, resource efficiency, and circularity into one integrated strategy. At the heart of this approach are the three climate pillars: responsible sourcing, sustainable eating, and on-site resource efficiency, which are interlinked and mutually reinforcing. Together, they ensure that environmental considerations are systematically integrated into Sodexo’s value chain, supporting both risk management and long-term business resilience.

The Board of Directors, through its Sustainability Committee, provides strategic oversight and ensures that these priorities are fully integrated into the Group’s vision, risk management, and long-term resilience. Board members receive dedicated climate training to strengthen their expertise and support effective oversight.

The Sodexo Leadership Team validates all climate-related policies and key decisions, working in close coordination with the Board. Both governance bodies are actively engaged in setting priorities, monitoring progress, and ensuring accountability.

At operational level, the Better Tomorrow Community translates these decisions into actions across regions and countries, ensuring that the Group’s environmental commitments are consistently embedded into daily operations.
