Sustainability in Action
DRIVING CHANGE THROUGH OUR NET ZERO JOURNEY
We’re on a mission to reach net zero by 2040. It’s all about creating real impact for our people, clients, and the planet. Every step we take is designed to make sustainability measurable and something our teams can see in action.
WE’RE PROUD TO BE THE FIRST FOOD SERVICE PROVIDER TO HAVE ALL OUR CLIMATE AIMS APPROVED BY THE SCIENCE-BASED TARGETS INITIATIVE.
OUR NET ZERO TARGETS
At Sodexo, we don’t just set goals, we track our progress and hold ourselves accountable. Starting from a clear baseline, we’ve set ambitious targets for the future. By 2030, we plan to reduce our emissions by 55% and cut FLAG emissions by 40%. And by 2040, our ambition is to reach net zero across our entire value chain, creating a more sustainable future we can all be part of.
