Together we have created a family of sustainable plant based meals that combine nutrition, sustainability and Better Tomorrow 2025 commitments - these meals taste good, are good for people and for the environment. Learn more about Sodexo's work with WWF.
Earth Hour
In 2018, nine million people in the UK participated in Earth Hour taking part in a wide range of activities to show they care about our planet’s future. Millions chose to mark Earth Hour by going ‘Lights Out’ for 60 minutes. In addition to switching off for one hour, Earth Hour also asked people to make a #PromiseForThePlanet.
The campaign hopes to highlight how just a few small lifestyle changes - such as eating more plant-based foods - can make a huge difference. As a WWF partner, and as part of our Better Tomorrow 2025 commitments, in 2018 Sodexo made an Earth Hour promise to eat more vegetables. What we eat not only affects our own health, but also the environment.
Food is at the heart of many environmental issues - it’s a significant contributor to climate change and responsible for almost 60% of global biodiversity loss. Increasing the use of plant-based foods can reduce Sodexo’s carbon and water footprint and help safeguard wildlife.
Sodexo in collaboration with WWF created an Earth Hour recipes booklet building on Sodexo’s Green & Lean range for schools. These meals are designed to give a taste of how more vegetables can be packed into favourite meals - even those containing meat - without compromising on flavour. Sodexo challenged as many people as possible to try cooking these dishes at home in support of protecting the planet.
In 2019, Sodexo is continuing to actively encourage its teams to participate in the Earth Hour campaign - this year's focus is #VoiceForThePlanet. View more information on WWF's Earth Hour and make your pledge for the planet.
