Sodexo receives the AGEFI Sustainable Business Award in the Environment category
Last November 29th, French financial publication l’AGEFI announced the winners of the 19th edition of the Sustainable Business and Finance Awards.
During this ceremony, Sodexo received the Sustainable Business Award in the Environment category, which distinguishes the SBF 120 companies that perform best in terms of sustainable development.
The Environment category covers both the direct environmental impact of the companies assessed (energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, water, biodiversity, pollution, chemicals and waste), the actions implemented to reduce the impact of their products (use and end of life of products, consumer health and safety, promotion of environmental services), and environmental risk management in the corporate supply chain.
This distinction highlights:
- Sodexo's historic commitment, since its creation in 1966, to have a positive impact on the planet and in all the territories where the company operates.
- Sodexo's actions to limit our impact on the environment to achieve our goal of reducing carbon emissions by -34% by 20251
- Our will to implement a strategy aimed at generating sustainable and profitable growth, creating value for all its stakeholders.
Every year, this ranking, established for the methodology part by EcoVadis and for the ranking by the AGEFI Jury, highlights the most advanced and consistent organizations in their sustainable development approach.
"I am very proud and honored by this award, especially in this category which recognizes the actions taken by our 422,000 employees around the world to ensure that we deliver our quality services whilst limiting our impact on the environment."
"At Sodexo, Corporate Social Responsibility is part of who we are, and how we work. Since 1966, Sodexo has had a forward-thinking dual mission: to improve the quality of life of employees and all those we serve, and to contribute to the economic and social development and environmental protection in the territories where we operate. This founding vision continues to guide our development: for us, CSR is more than ever a powerful lever for sustainable and profitable transformation."
