Why Does Sodexo Engage?

Agriculture can have a significant impact over greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption, pollution and deforestation. It also potentially harms health through the use of pesticides, fertilizers and antibiotics.

How Does Sodexo Engage?

Sodexo is working with the WWF (World Wildlife Fund) to develop a sustainable sourcing strategy for the following priority commodities: fruits and vegetables, palm oil, soy, beef and dairy. These five are the most important for our business and have the highest environmental impact.
