Sodexo has launched a new roadmap aiming to accelerate the company’s sustainable journey. Better Tomorrow 2028 builds on the progress, achievements and learnings of Better Tomorrow 2025.
Designed as a pragmatic roadmap, grounded in operational realities and tailored to local contexts, Better Tomorrow 2028 positions sustainability as a performance driver across all regions where the company operates.
Better Tomorrow 2028 places Sodexo employees at the heart of this approach and engages the company’s entire ecosystem – clients, consumers, suppliers, partners – around a shared mission: creating measurable positive impact on the planet and society through everyday actions.
Since its creation in 1966, Sodexo has been a pioneer in sustainability. From the outset, the company has embraced a holistic approach, integrating social, societal, and environmental priorities into all of its global actions. In 2009, Sodexo became one of the first companies to adopt an ambitious and structured sustainability roadmap – Better Tomorrow.
The new Better Tomorrow 2028 roadmap continues and strengthens this commitment, with the ambition to accelerate and amplify the positive impact of Sodexo’s activities.
Sophie Bellon, Sodexo Chairwoman of the Board of Directors said: “Better Tomorrow 2028 reflects Sodexo’s pioneering vision: a company that strives to act with impact for people and the planet. With this new roadmap, we are shifting from commitment to execution, embedding sustainability at the core of our operations to strengthen our positive impact and create value for all.”
To reflect this shift toward operational sustainability, Sodexo has structured its roadmap around three strategic pillars: People, Clients and Planet & Society. By mobilising its people and engaging clients, Sodexo seeks to create powerful leverage for meaningful impact on society and the planet.
- People:
Sodexo’s 426 000 employees enhance the daily lives of millions of consumers worldwide. Their health, safety, wellbeing, and development are central to the company’s positive social impact.
− Sodexo is committed to providing 15 hours of training (vs. 11.8 in FY2025) per year to all its employees worldwide by 2028.
- Clients:
Sodexo accompanies its clients on their sustainability journey through responsible and trusted supply chains, healthy meals that are good for consumers and the planet, and efficient resource and waste management. Sodexo activates two main levers:
− Provide consumers with healthy and sustainable meals without compromising taste. Sodexo is committed to offering 70 per cent of its main dish recipes as ‘good for the planet’, in menus by 2030, according to the definition developed with WWF .
− Pursue Sodexo’s significant advancements in fighting food waste. Leveraging the rollout of the WasteWatch program, Sodexo aims to achieve a 50 per cent reduction in food waste by 2028.
- Planet & Society:
Sodexo continues its journey towards achieving Net Zero Carbon by 2040 all while strengthening its social impact. Through Stop Hunger, Sodexo is stepping up its efforts to fight hunger and food insecurity, with the goal of reaching even more people and communities around the world.
Sodexo has defined a common, structured framework within which each country develops its own local execution roadmap to guide the implementation of Better Tomorrow 2028. These roadmaps are concrete action plans tailored to each country’s realities – whether cultural, regulatory, or economic – and designed to activate the most relevant local levers.
The way we work has changed – yet, many organisations are still relying on rigid, one-size-fits-all tools to manage desks and meeting rooms, according to a new study from workplace management solutions provider, Matrix Booking.
Spreadsheets, calendars, and generic booking software may have worked once, but they’re struggling to keep pace with today’s flexible, hybrid workforce. The result? Wasted time, frustrated employees, and expensive underutilised space.
Matrix Booking’s new study, ‘One-size-fits-all booking systems don’t work for today’s workforce’, explores why current systems are falling short – and how organisations can reimagine workspace management to boost efficiency, employee experience, and cost savings.
