Corporate Responsibility Awards and Recognitions

The rating and ranking process helps us to focus on continuous improvement, increasing our positive impact on Quality of Life.

Rating agencies

The mission of rating agencies is to evaluate companies’ social, society, environmental performance and their corporate governance. The methodologies and analysis vary by agency Sodexo focusses on those that have been found to be the most comprehensive, robust, accurate and credible with our stakeholders. The ratings, rankings and awards help to inform investment decisions, consumer purchases, individuals to select employers and companies to choose partners with whom to do business.

Methodologies

Each agency develops its specific criteria of assessment:

  • Ethics and Human Rights,
  • Management of Human Resources,
  • The societal and social impact,
  • The impact on the environment and measures taken to remedy this,
  • Corporate governance,
  • Relationships with clients,
  • Suppliers and subcontractors,
  • And relations with all the stakeholders.

Each criterion is evaluated according to 3 aspects:

  1. Strategy and company policies,
  2. Their implementation,
  3. Performance obtained.

References and rankings

The criteria attached to each subject are based on framework published by international organizations like the UN, ILO and OECD. Companies are ranked by industry sector.

SRI Indices (Socially Responsible Investment)

The major extra-financial rating agencies have developed partnerships with indices to create SRI indices gathering companies that get top marks.
