Designed as a pragmatic roadmap, grounded in operational realities and tailored to local contexts, Better Tomorrow 2028 positions sustainability as a performance driver across all regions where the company operates.
Better Tomorrow 2028 places Sodexo employees at the heart of this approach and engages the company’s entire ecosystem – clients, consumers, suppliers, partners – around a shared mission: ‘creating measurable positive impact on the planet and society through everyday actions’.
In 2009, Sodexo became one of the first companies to adopt an ambitious and structured sustainability roadmap – Better Tomorrow.
Sodexo is committed to offering 70% of its main dish recipes as ‘good for the planet’ in menus by 2030. It is also aiming to achieve a 50% reduction in food waste by 2028.
Sophie Bellon, Sodexo chairwoman of the Board of Directors, said: “Better Tomorrow 2028 reflects Sodexo’s pioneering vision: a company that strives to act with impact for people and the planet. With this new roadmap, we are shifting from commitment to execution, embedding sustainability at the core of our operations to strengthen our positive impact and create value for all.”
The roadmap is built around 3 pillars:
- People: Sodexo’s 426 000 employees enhance the daily lives of millions of consumers worldwide. Their health, safety, well-being, and development are central to the company’s positive social impact.
- Clients: Sodexo accompanies its clients on their sustainability journey through responsible and trusted supply chains, healthy meals that are good for consumers and the planet, and efficient resource and waste management.
- Planet & Society: Sodexo continues its journey towards achieving Net Zero Carbon by 2040 all while strengthening its social impact. Through Stop Hunger, Sodexo is stepping up its efforts to fight hunger and food insecurity, with the goal of reaching even more people and communities around the world.
Mouna Fassi Daoudi, Sodexo group chief sustainability officer, added: “Sustainability drives performance. It’s an operational lever, measurable on every site. Every action and on-the-ground decision is an opportunity to optimise resources, amplify our positive impact, and create value.”
