We are committed to collaborating with third party agencies and charities who share our values and commitment to deliver quality of life services and improve outcomes for those in our care and the wider society.

We have a long history of working with supply chain partners, in particular SMEs and VCSEs, and have developed our Working in Partnership principles which outlines how we engage and communicate with our partners. Our suppliers benefit from membership to our Supply Chain Inclusion Programme and in 2019 Sodexo ranked top in sector by the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for Local Impact of Business Operations, Supply Chain Management, and Stakeholder Engagement.

We focus on providing our prison residents with the life skills, work experience, education and accommodation on release to help equip them to successfully integrate into society. You can read more about our commitment to providing services that deliver social value, better outcomes and improved quality of life in our social impact pledge and Impact Report.
