Since our first day, at Sodexo we have had one point of view about the universe of our business. This point of view inspires what we stand for and what we do.

"The everyday is central to our work. We know that it is precisely by focusing on the most concrete, tangible, everyday things that we have a real impact – on 100 million consumers worldwide, on local communities, and on the planet itself.”

Service spirit

From your first day at school, to your workplace, to providing comfortable facilities in your old age, we’re here to help.

Team spirit

Whether we’re training each other, listening to our background stories or even just lending a helping hand, we support and recognize our diversity.

Spirit of progress

We’re willing to go that extra mile to seek improvement and learn from our mistakes, whether by supporting SMEs or taking feedback seriously.

Why we do it: this is our manifesto

For some it’s just a canteen meal, just a few leftovers, just a day job.

For us it’s a healthy child, a battle to reduce food waste, the start of a career…

What others see as trivial, we see as essential. Because we know that it is precisely by focusing on the concrete, on the tangible, on the everyday, that we make a real difference not only to a person’s day but, in the long run, to the lives of all and the planet.

From day 1, our focus has been the everyday.

Conscious of the enormous difference everyday actions make when you multiply them by the millions of people we care about, all over the world, day in and day out and through the years, we embrace the responsibilities that come with our scale and strive to make everything we do today as positive and impactful as we can for tomorrow.

Making the delicious nutritious. 

Giving opportunities to those who have never been given a chance.

Caring about communities, and about the individuals within.

Acting for the planet.

Making the most of today for tomorrow.

Rooted in our humanist values and committed to go further, at Sodexo our purpose is to create a better everyday for everyone to build a better life for all.
