Our Approach to Responsible Sourcing

At Sodexo, responsible sourcing means making choices that benefit consumer health, supplier livelihoods, and the planet. Our responsible supply chain focuses on low-carbon menus, reducing food waste, and employee engagement. 

Since 2010, we’ve partnered with WWF to reduce carbon emissions by 34% by 2025. Together we’ve developed sustainable practices for sourcing seafood, fruits, vegetables, palm oil, soy, beef, and dairy.  

Local sourcing is key to our responsible sourcing commitment, and we work closely with clients, vendors, and operators to improve our performance and achieve our inclusion targets. By prioritizing responsible sourcing, we ensure that our operations contribute positively to the environment and society. 

How We Do It

  • Local Sourcing Mapping Tool

    This innovative tool gives our stakeholders access to live, interactive data on our supply chain footprint. It also gives our clients and customers access to traceability metrics. Our supply management and corporate responsibility teams work together to collect and review our current supply data and encourage our suppliers to provide data from their sources.

  • The Get Local Campaign

    Get Local is our on-site campaign highlighting local sourcing efforts and initiatives. The goal is to engage consumers in supporting local producers, fostering community connections and promoting sustainability. This campaign emphasizes the benefits of local flavors and making a positive impact on our environment and economy.
