Delivering services on behalf of thousands of organisations across the UK and Ireland, Sodexo is embedding sustainability directly into day-to-day operations, helping clients decarbonise complex environments while improving efficiency, transparency and long-term value.
Guided by three core pillars, responsible sourcing, sustainable eating and on-site resource efficiency, the work and strong client relationships of Sodexo’s teams across the UK and Ireland have been instrumental in the progress revealed in its latest net zero progress report.
Highlights from the report (data to 31st August 2025 against a 2017 baseline) include:
- 44.5% reduction in absolute scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions (353,000 tCO₂e removed), exceeding Sodexo’s 2025 target of –34% - SBTI validated.
- 68.9% reduction in scope 1 and 2 emissions, surpassing its 2030 science-based target of –55% five years early.
- 50.2% reduction in food waste, achieving the UN SDG 12.3 target five years ahead of schedule.
- 24.6% reduction in supply chain emissions, reflecting the impact of collaborative supply partner engagement.
Claire Atkins Morris, sustainability & workplace culture director at Sodexo UK & Ireland, said: “Our clients are looking for partners who can help them navigate regulatory change, reduce operational risk and deliver measurable sustainability outcomes while maintaining strong operational performance.
“This progress shows how our science-based approach is translating into practical, commercially meaningful solutions delivered every day through the services we provide. By embedding lower-carbon practices into operations, we are helping clients move faster towards their own net zero ambitions while strengthening resilience and long-term value.”
