This year’s conference, themed 'Social Value in Action', focused on sharing innovative ideas and best practices for driving social value across multiple sectors.
Angela Halliday, Sodexo UK & Ireland’s social impact director, participated in the ‘Building a Career in Social Value’ virtual breakout session, sharing insights and her own experience on career pathways into social value.
During a panel discussion Halliday shared how Sodexo collaborates with partners through its Starting Fresh programme, which provides employers with practical steps to proactively recruit prison-leavers. She also spoke about Sodexo’s Net Zero Supply Chain Engagement Strategy and the impact of their Stop Hunger Foundation.
Sean Haley, chief executive of Sodexo UK & Ireland, said: “Well done to everyone involved in bringing the Social Value Conference 2024 to life. It was an inspiring three days which galvanised efforts to deliver a social value economy, and we are enormously proud to have flown the flag for our industry as platinum sponsor again this year.”
