Sodexo’s climate ambition is based on 4 key levers identified to drastically reduce carbon emissions:
- Products: by promoting sustainable farming practices, supporting supplier efforts to reduce their carbon emissions and continuing to develop local sourcing and short supply chains.
- Cooking: by designing new recipes to ensure that 70% of its main dishes are labelled “low-carbon” by 2030 (0.9 kg CO2e or less).
- Energy: by implementing less energy-intensive preparation methods and by achieving 100% renewable electricity in its direct operations by 2025.
- Waste: by massively deploying the WasteWatch program, Sodexo’s food waste prevention program.
*CDP is a global non-profit organization holding the largest environmental database in the world. CDP scores are widely used to drive investment and procurement decisions toward a zero-carbon, sustainable and resilient economy.
