International. According to the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI), Sodexo ranks among the highest companies in the areas of environment, social and corporate governance.
The company obtained the best score in the "Catering and Leisure Facilities" sector, with a score of 75 out of 100 (2 points more than in 2020), valuing the sustainability of the company (where the average of the 28 companies in the sector is 21).
Sodexo maintains the leadership in the "Environment" category, thanks to several important environmental commitments, including adopting a target to reduce carbon emissions by 34% by 2025, removing all single-use plastics from all its European sites, joining the RE100 initiative and its goal of switching to 100% renewable electricity by 2025 at its directly operated sites.
Sodexo also maintains its leadership in social matters, obtaining the highest scores in the field of respect for human rights or the impact of its operations at the local level, consolidating the commitments of its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion approach and responsible sourcing.
Sophie Bellon, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Interim Ceo of Sodexo: "The recognition of our commitment through the DJSI ranking for the 17th consecutive year and the continuation of our leadership in corporate responsibility is a source of great pride for all Sodexo teams. This new distinction rewards a proactive policy and a pioneering commitment, initiated in 2009 with our "Better Tomorrow" roadmap. The increasingly fragile social contexts we face, climate change, as well as the search for more responsible economic development make collective action by businesses more crucial than ever and an absolute priority."
