Sodexo has long provided services to the Total Group on a number of remote locations around the world, and now delivers its expertise on the Olympia barge-hotel anchored offshore. Responsible for a wide array of services, from housekeeping and maintenance to food and laundry, Sodexo employees aim to offer oil rig workers the same comfortable living conditions they would expect from an onshore hotel.

Sodexo's special strengths lie in the service spirit and know-how of its 230-member team, assisted by Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Manager Mike Nkouka and his department. Mike and his team see to it that Sodexo employees are trained to observe strict hygiene, food safety, occupational health and environmental regulations. He travels to each offshore site twice a month and participates in numerous meetings with the client.

Mike's HSE team is dedicated to creating value for Total. Despite the offshore location of this highly unusual hotel, they ensure full compliance with cold food chain requirements, generate awareness about healthy and balanced nutrition among Total employees and manage waste sorting... just a few of the areas of expertise that make Sodexo a unique partner for Total in the Congo and around the world.
