Diversity and Inclusion

At Sodexo, diversity and inclusion is more than a moral obligation or a societal goal. It is a business imperative.

We are committed to creating an environment in which each employee is able to fulfil their potential and maximise their contribution as outlined in our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (ED&I) policy.
