“At Sodexo, we are genuinely committed to gender equality. As well as being the right thing to do, our global research shows that where our teams are more gender balanced they are more engaged, productive and profitable, so there’s also a clear business case.
“We look forward to sponsoring these awards for the next three years, and of course congratulations to Izzy, Beth and all the nominees.”
