Sodexo Recognized for its Leadership on Climate Change by Natural Resources Defense Council and the Humane Society of the United States - Seite 2

“Our team of chefs and food service experts are excited to keep working hand-in-hand with Sodexo to bring more plant-based foods to customer’s plates,” said Josephine Morris, Food Policy Manager at the HSUS. “By providing corporate and account-level consulting, we will continue to support Sodexo’s culinary teams to expand their mastery of plant-based menu development and implementation, marketing and customer adoption. Providing more plant-based foods is a win-win-win situation: it decreases animal suffering, encourages healthier eating and takes pressure off our already over-strained planet.”

Sodexo is developing additional targets which will guide its culinary teams in finding the optimal menu balance of animal to plant ingredients and drive accountability toward meeting our overall carbon reduction goal.  Training at all levels of the organization and beyond, including effective consumer engagement and consumer behavior campaigns developed with third-party partners will be key to realizing the targets. Implementing a sustainable eating strategy will require active engagement across the entire organization through a comprehensive project management and change management process.

Sodexo has made significant improvements to date, including:

• its commitment to protect forests and peatlands as we move towards a deforestation and conversion-free supply chain globally by 2030 starting with the highest risk commodities;
• signing of the 10x20x30 food waste and loss initiative bringing together ten of the world’s biggest food retailers and providers to each engage with 20 of their priority suppliers with the aim of halving food loss rates and waste by 2030; and
• its commitment to reduce food waste in company operations by 50% through its WasteWatch powered by LeanPath tracking system and donation of surplus food at our sites.

 

Sodexo’s Better Tomorrow 2025 roadmap outlines the company’s individual, community and environmental goals and continues to make progress. For more information, visit our website.
