Working across the board
Whether it’s during the ordering, storage, preparation, or serving process, we are working together with our teams, clients and suppliers to reduce food and collateral waste across Sodexo sites.
Controlling Waste
For Sodexo, the fight against food waste is part of our daily routine. Our internal programmes allow the Sodexo teams to easily capture food waste data and take action to drive cultural and behavioral change.
Training and development
We are training our teams to be sustainably minded and have developed training and personal development programmes to empower employees, customers and clients to waste less by celebrating the benefits of conserving food, water, energy, paper and raw materials.
Packaging and recycling
We’ve introduced innovative packaging and recycling solutions, such as re-useable materials, bioplastics, and organic material, to help eliminate plastic waste from ending up in landfills. Single-use plastics, which include containers, boxes, cups, bowls, utensils, wraps, bags, lids, straws and stirrers are causing damage to oceans, seafood, wildlife and the wider environment. Cutting down on single-use plastics is at the core of our fight against waste.
We have commitments in place to reduce single-use plastic in 15 countries where we operate, representing close to 70% of our revenues.
We have programmes in place to reduce single-use in Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Malaysia, Norway, Philippines, Singapore, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States.
