Issy-les-Moulineaux, February 6, 2024
Sodexo is pleased to join the 346 top-rated companies of CDP
climate ranking out of 21,000 companies scored, representing two
thirds of the global market capitalization. This recognition by
CDP*, acknowledges the progress achieved by Sodexo on its climate
ambition, both in performance and transparency.
In line with its ambition to be the global leader in sustainable
food and valued experiences and given the climate emergency, Sodexo
is accelerating its actions to reduce its climate impact. This
scoring recognises Sodexo’s ambitious trajectory and the active
implication of its employees to achieve its SBTi approved Net Zero
target by 2040. The integration of the most recent standards and
tools to rigorously track performance and communicate transparently
on climate is helping Sodexo to drive positive change across its
value chain.
“We are pleased to be recognized by CDP for our sustainable
commitment on climate. This recognition highlights the daily work
of our local and global teams alongside our clients and suppliers.
I am convinced that our actions and our vision for the future will
allow us to achieve our ambitious objectives. Engaging with all our
stakeholders will enables us to have a positive impact on our
entire value chain, and to be the global leader in sustainable
food.” Anna Notarianni said, Sodexo Group Chief Impact
Officer.
Sodexo’s climate ambition is based on 4 key levers identified to
drastically reduce carbon emissions:
- Products: by promoting sustainable farming practices,
supporting supplier efforts to reduce their carbon emissions and by
continuing to develop local sourcing and short supply chains.
- Cooking: by designing new recipes to ensure that 70% of
its main dishes are labelled “low-carbon” by 2030 (0.9 kg CO2e or
less).
- Energy: by implementing less energy-intensive
preparation methods and by achieving the 100% renewable electricity
in its direct operations by 2025.
- Waste: by massively deploying the WasteWatch program,
Sodexo’s food waste prevention program.

environmental database in the world. CDP scores are widely used to
