Sodexo global
It all starts with the everyday
Who we are
Founded in Marseille in 1966 by Pierre Bellon, Sodexo is the global leader in sustainable food and valued experiences at every moment in life: learn, work, heal and play. The Group stands out for its independence, its founding family shareholding and its responsible business model. Thanks to its two activities of Food and Facilities Management Services, Sodexo meets all the challenges of everyday life with a dual goal: to improve the quality of life of our employees and those we serve, and contribute to the economic, social and environmental progress in the communities where we operate. For Sodexo, growth and social commitment go hand in hand. Our purpose is to create a better everyday for everyone to build a better life for all.
Sodexo is included in the CAC Next 20, Bloomberg France 40, CAC 40 ESG, CAC SBT 1.5, FTSE 4 Good and DJSI.
At Sodexo our purpose is to create a better everyday for everyone to build a better life for all.
Our manifesto is:
For some it’s just a canteen meal, just a few leftovers, just a day job.
For us it’s a healthy child, a battle to reduce food waste, the start of a career…
What others see as trivial, we see as essential, because we know that it is precisely by focusing on the concrete, on the tangible, on the everyday, that we make a real difference not only to a person’s day but, in the long run, to the lives of all and the planet.
From day 1, our focus has been the everyday.
Conscious of the enormous difference everyday actions make when you multiply them by the millions of people we care about, all over the world, day in and day out and through the years, we embrace the responsibilities that come with our scale and strive to make everything we do today as positive and impactful as we can for tomorrow.
Making the delicious nutritious.
Giving opportunities to those who have never been given a chance.
Caring about communities, and about the individuals within.
Acting for the planet.
Making the most of today for tomorrow.
Rooted in our humanist values and committed to going further, at Sodexo our purpose is to create a better every day for everyone to build a better life for all.
