Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

At Sodexo, we foster diversity, equity, and inclusion by respecting and understanding the needs of our clients, suppliers, consumers, and communities.

Our Commitment

We encourage our employees to bring their whole selves to work regardless of age, gender, nationality, culture or personal characteristics and we prioritize treating every individual with equal respect and fairness, recognizing their valuable contributions in shaping our identity. By living by our commitments and taking action against discrimination, and by inspiring other businesses and organisations to join the movement, we can contribute to a more open, fair and inclusive society.

Our Commitment to a Better Tomorrow

This approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) is also reflected throughout the Sodexo Better Tomorrow 2025 Corporate Responsibility Roadmap.

Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives revolve around Sustainability, DE&I, a commitment to Indigenous reconciliation, as well as our fight against hunger. These priorities are interconnected and form the core of our endeavours to create a better tomorrow for our stakeholders, employees, and the communities we serve.
