Our ethical principles

  • Loyalty: Being a service company means making trust central to relationships with all stakeholders. Sodexo is built on a solid foundation of loyalty to its clients, employees and shareholders, and on honest and open relationships with them.

     

  • Respect for people: People are central to our business. Sodexo is committed to acting in favor of equal opportunity, regardless of ethnicity, age, gender, beliefs, religion or sexual orientation. Ensuring an inclusive workplace means treating each individual with respect, dignity and consideration.

     

  • Transparency: This is one of Sodexo's key principles that applies consistently to all stakeholders: clients, consumers, employees, shareholders and the general public. We ensure that everyone is informed in a clear and precise manner about our services, commitments and performance.

     

  • Integrity: We condemn any practices that are not based on honesty, integrity and fairness, regardless of where our company operates in the world. We make our position clear to our clients, suppliers and employees, and expect them to reject corrupt and unfair practices.

     

“Those who work for and with Sodexo should always be respected and confident about the integrity of their relationship and engagement with us. I encourage everyone to read and live our Code of Conduct.”
