Social impact pathway: our people
Supporting equality, inclusion and wellbeing
We aim to establish social contracts that support equity, inclusion and wellbeing. We strive to build a diverse and inclusive culture where our employees feel valued and respected as individuals, and we are a Living Wage Recognised Service Provider, meaning we pay our head office staff the real Living Wage and promote the benefits of the Living Wage to our clients and in tenders.
Giving back to local communities
We have a proud history of supporting Stop Hunger, our charitable Foundation through employee volunteering and donations. We will continue this work, enabling 20% of our workforce to access volunteering and/or fundraising opportunities, both through Stop Hunger, and other charities close to our employees’ hearts.
Working together with the Living Wage Foundation
The commitment means that Sodexo has implemented the UK and London Living Wage for all employees working in its head offices in London, Glasgow, Stevenage, Leeds, Salford and Swindon. It also means that, wherever permitted, the company will submit a Living Wage alternative in all bids and will promote the adoption of the Living Wage to its clients.
Creating a positive impact on society and our environment
Our 2021 social impact pledge
Our social impact pledge sets out our priority areas and commitments for 2021 as part of our wider social value strategy over the next three years. It sets out how we will deliver our pledges to create a healthier, greener, safe and more prosperous society across the UK and Ireland.
