Sodexo launches new corporate citizenship report micro-site

Previously, the contractor produced hard copies of the report but this year has published only a summary document and is using the micro-site for the full report. Thomas Jelley, Sodexo corporate citizenship manager, said: "This gives readers a more engaging experience that includes video clips ranging from diversity and inclusion to sustainable fish and seafood, Sodexo's STOP Hunger initiative to 'What's for lunch' – an animation that illustrates the sustainability aspects present in a plate of lunch." The report demonstrated the role that corporate citizenship played in the company's culture and performance, and highlighted some key achievements of Sodexo teams over the last year. He said it detailed the progress of the Better Tomorrow Plan, the company's sustainability strategy to 2020. "The plan aims to consolidate corporate citizenship efforts across operations by combining values and ethical principles, specific sustainability commitments and an assurance to engage with stakeholders. The report provides an insight into how Sodexo manages the 'Better Tomorrow Plan' and tracks progress. It covers health, nutrition and wellbeing, local community development including Sodexo's worldwide STOP Hunger campaign, and commitments to environmental performance in the supply chain and at Sodexo sites. "It details our progress over the year, our future goals and commitments. During 2011 we worked especially hard on stakeholder engagement across all areas of the Better Tomorrow Plan and have made significant progress. "We were also enormously grateful for significant external recognition in industry awards and our 'Gold' ranking in the Business in the Community CR Index."
