Sodexo has developed a new Social Impact Reporting Platform aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals and Social Return on Investment (SROI) methodologies. This custom-built platform consolidates data from various activities into a central dashboard, offering detailed insights into operations.
It allows for easy measurement, auditing, and sharing of data, tracking progress on contractual obligations through impact pathways, timelines, and ownership. The platform features simple reporting tools for tracking performance, including SROI calculations, helping Sodexo and its clients monitor progress and demonstrate social value in procurement and delivery.
This may include how it manages apprenticeships or providing SME supply partners with the opportunity to engage in the delivery of large public sector contracts. There is potential to expand the use of the platform across Sodexo’s other business areas.
Paul Anstey, chief executive of Government at Sodexo UK & Ireland, said: “This platform represents a significant advancement in our social impact reporting. By providing our public sector partners with transparent, real-time data, we're not just meeting reporting requirements - we're driving meaningful social change with provable results."
