Sodexo Will Achieve 100% of its RE100 Commitment for Renewable Energy in the U.S. Next Year
January 27 2022 - 8:39AM
Sodexo, a leader in food services and facilities management,
announced today the company’s commitment to support the renewable
energy infrastructure by purchasing renewable energy credits (RECs)
covering 50 percent of electricity consumption by the end of FY22
and 100 percent by FY23. This commitment is fueled by Sodexo’s
joining of RE100 in 2021, the global initiative bringing together
the world’s most influential businesses committed to 100 percent
renewable electricity. “We’re proud to directly support renewable
electricity infrastructure and achieve our commitment early,”
explained Jessica Synkoski, Vice President, Sustainability and
Corporate Social Responsibility, Sodexo North America. “We were
also proud to be the first food services and facilities management
company to have joined the RE100 initiative. We understand that
this is just one step, albeit an important one, on our larger
journey to directly source renewable energy and further our Better
Tomorrow 2025 roadmap.”
This commitment covers Sodexo’s directly owned and operated
sites and enables renewable energy adding to a cleaner and
healthier environment. It builds onto Sodexo’s greater climate
strategy, reiterated via Sodexo’s Better Tomorrow 2025 roadmap,
which aims to reduce direct and supply chain carbon emissions by 34
percent, alongside energy reduction and efficiency efforts.
Sodexo’s Better Tomorrow 2025 roadmap was first unveiled in
2009. Today, the roadmap frames Sodexo’s progress according to the
company’s nine commitments and clear objectives outlined through
2025. By way of Better Tomorrow 2025, Sodexo aims to make a
positive impact on individuals, communities, and the
environment.
