An issue close to our heart

Ending world hunger is one of the Sustainable Development Goals promoted by the United Nations. And it’s an area where we can have a big impact.

Every day, we nourish 100 million consumers around the world with quality ingredients that taste great and enhance well-being. But we want to do more than that. We want to extend our skills and expertise to help the people and communities who need it the most.

A close relative to hunger is malnutrition. Sodexo’s far-reaching team of nutritionists offer talks and nutritional advice to compromised communities in various countries.

Globally…

• We make payroll giving possible and encourage volunteering for all our employees.
• We redistribute surplus food and fund community gardens.
• We help consumers make a difference through our Stop Hunger products and Stop Hunger campaign, which generate funds for Stop Hunger.
• In 2017, Stop Hunger served over 6 million meals (or meal equivalents) in 41 countries and raised nearly US$6.3 million to fund projects to fight hunger.

In Singapore…

• Our annual Servathon event and year-round community engagement programs strive to alleviate hunger for disadvantaged groups.
• We have entertained, distributed food and even set up a “pop-up” supermarket as a fun way to deliver food supplies.
• We have served beneficiaries of the Food Bank, Community Chest, Lions Befrienders and Thye Hua Kuan Senior Centre.
• In 2017 alone, we were able to reach 500 beneficiaries for the cause.
