Our Commitment

By respecting, understanding, and attending to the needs of those we interact with daily, our clients, suppliers, consumers, and communities, and making sure every individual who makes us who we are is respected and treated equally and fairly, we promote diversity and inclusion across Sodexo.

We want our employees to bring their whole selves to work regardless of age, gender, nationality, culture, or personal characteristics in order to create a workplace where everyone feels that their culture, identity, and experiences are respected and valued.

We are humble and recognize that pursuing our commitment requires ongoing reflection, difficult conversations, and continuous improvement of our policies, practices, and initiatives.

We also work with our suppliers to promote inclusion, partner with local organizations and advocacy groups, and dedicate our philanthropic endeavors to empowering vulnerable and minority groups.

By living by our commitments and taking action against discrimination and calling other businesses and organisations to join the movement, we can contribute to a more open, fair, and inclusive society.

Our Approach

Our approach directly supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by creating fair and inclusive workplaces. We want our teams to bring their full selves to work and be recognised for the diverse perspectives and skills they bring to the table.

Promoting gender balance

Gender balance is not just a good to have. We know that when teams are balanced, there are strong qualitative and quantitative outcomes. We recognise that people, whichever gender they identify with, should have access to growth and opportunities in the workplace so that everyone can give their best, and be at their best.
