Every year on April 28th, we observe the National Day of Mourning to remember those who have lost their lives or been injured at work. This day is a solemn reminder of the importance of workplace safety and the need for continuous efforts to ensure every worker returns home safely.

We are deeply committed to the principle of Zero Harm, and we believe that every incident is preventable and that achieving zero harm is not just a goal but a fundamental belief guiding our actions. Our dedication to safety is unwavering, and we strive to create an environment where safety is ingrained in our culture.

Sodexo's Commitment to Zero Harm

Sodexo's Zero Harm initiative is more than a safety program; it is a core a value. We believe that zero is possible and are dedicated to making this belief a reality through continuous improvement, education, and engagement.

  • Continuous Improvement: We constantly evaluate and enhance our safety protocols to eliminate hazards and reduce risks.
  • Education and Training: We provide (and continuously update and review) comprehensive training programs to empower our employees with the knowledge and skills to work safely.
  • Engagement and Culture: We foster a strong safety culture where everyone feels responsible for their own safety and the safety of their colleagues.

A Positive Outlook

While National Day of Mourning is a solemn occasion, it can also serve as a beacon of hope. It reminds us that through dedication and collective efforts, we can create safer workplaces. Though we mourn the losses of those who suffer, we remain optimistic about the future and confident in our ability to achieve Zero Harm.

On this National Day of Mourning, let us remember, honour, and commit to a safer future for all.
