Armed Forces Corporate Covenant Pledge

Armed Forces Corporate Covenant Pledge

Sodexo is committed to supporting the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant. The Covenant sets out the relationship between the nation, the government and the armed forces.

As a leading supplier of quality of life services to the Ministry of Defence, we believe we are well-placed to support regular and reserve forces, ex-forces personnel and military families, not just in our catering, retail and leisure facilities, but through every aspect of our business.

This includes our positive recruitment of ex-forces personnel, supporting the mobile careers of military family members and our strong policies to support reservists; we are committed to supporting every one of our employees who is a reservist or who is interested in becoming a reservist and helping to make a part-time military career run as smoothly as possible alongside a career with Sodexo.

Public Service Pledge

Sodexo’s Public Service Pledge

Our Public Service Pledge identifies key public sector areas and initiatives which as an organisation we pledge to commit to and report on.

Our UK Public Service Pledge is an ethical manifesto for our contracts, for our wider conduct, for how we serve citizens, and for how we contribute to our communities.

Our pledge identifies key public service areas and initiatives which we promise to commit to, measure, and report on at least annually. These commitments stand in addition to those already laid out in our contracts, and in addition to our corporate responsibility programme. Together they highlight our conviction that a business involved in running public services signs a commercial but also a social contract, and must commit to a public service ethos.
