Business Integrity
Our 355,000 employees are themselves of many different nationalities. It is therefore essential for Sodexo to have solid ethical foundations to be able to conduct business with irreproachable integrity.
In the global marketplace, the conduct of business is increasingly complex. Our business dealings bring us into contact with different political, financial and economic systems, different legislations and different cultures, traditions and languages.
In 2006, The Group Executive Committee recommended to the Board of Directors the adoption of a Business Integrity Code.
In 2007, the Executive Committee of Sodexo adopted a Code of Conduct called the “Sodexo Statement of Business Integrity”. This code enshrines Sodexo's core beliefs and practices in this area of business ethics, so that every employee understands and shares the Group's commitment to Business Integrity.
The publication of the Code of Conduct was supported by the introduction of the resources required to ensure compliance throughout the Group.
