The road to 2030: rebuild, then accelerate 

Shift & Grow 2030 unfolds in two phases (Sodexo's fiscal year ends August 31).

Fiscal 2026 and Fiscal 2027: rebuild competitiveness

We strengthen our commercial capabilities, simplify operations and accelerate investment. For Fiscal 2027, we expect organic revenue growth of +2% to +3% and an underlying operating margin between 3.2% and 3.4%.

Fiscal 2028 onwards: accelerate

The benefits of these actions build progressively, supporting stronger growth, higher margins and better returns on capital. By Fiscal 2030, we target organic revenue growth above +5%, including net new business above +3%, and an underlying operating margin above 5%.
