Advancing Gender Equality Across All Fronts

Closing the gender gap is an integral part of Sodexo’s global, long-term commitment to promoting equality. We strive to foster a culture of gender equity, placing a strong emphasis on enhancing the individual and professional growth of people of all genders.

Our Objectives and Progress

Our goal is to have women represent at least 40% of Sodexo’s leadership by 2025 and 100% of employees working within entities having gender-balanced management teams.

SoTogether: Sodexo’s Gender Balance Business Resource Group

SoTogether’s mission is to foster a culture of gender balance in which enhancing women's individual and professional growth significantly contributes to the global success of our company and positively impacts the communities we serve. 


Our SoTogether global advisory board drives our global gender equality strategy, and our employees can join one of our 23 SoTogether Gender Networks to address gender concerns.

Awareness Campaigns

  • International Women’s Day

    On March 8, Sodexo celebrates International Women's Day (IWD), honouring the economic, political, and social achievements of women from the past, present, and future. It's an occasion to showcase our commitment to gender balance. All employees are invited to join in celebrating the accomplishments of women and to reflect on past struggles and achievements while preparing for future opportunities for generations to come.

  • Day for the Prevention of Gender-Based Violence

    Observed annually on November 25, the Day for the Prevention of Gender-Based Violence serves as a powerful reminder of the urgency to end violence against women and marginalized genders. SoTogether actively participate in this day, encouraging our employees to share resources, engage in open dialogue, and raise awareness about the impact of gender-based violence.

  • Webinars 

    Throughout the year, SoTogether hosts a compelling lineup of webinars for our employees. These webinars focus on promoting gender balance and fostering an inclusive work environment, covering diverse topics to provide valuable insights and resources for all team members.
