Sodexo recognized by European Network
Against Racism Foundation
Issy-les-Moulineaux, November 12, 2013 - Sodexo, world leader in Quality of Life
services, has been recognized by the European Network Against Racism (ENAR)
Foundation. This award recognizes Sodexo's commitment to recruiting, employing
and integrating people from different cultures and backgrounds, a key priority
in the company's Diversity and Inclusion strategy.
Each year, ENAR honors individuals, non-governmental organizations, public
authorities and companies for their actions against racism. With this award, the
Foundation recognizes Sodexo's efforts to promote diversity in Europe, including
its outreach program "Promoting inclusion of all cultures and origins," based on
five pillars: understanding, education, recruitment, professional development
and valuing differences.
This recognition is a source of motivation for Sodexo employees, encouraging
their renewed commitment throughout Europe. Each manager, working actively to
implement Sodexo's action plans and promote equal opportunity at all levels,
helps drive the company's competitiveness and economic performance.
Pierre Henry, CEO for On-site Services in Europe, commented: "It is an honor for
Sodexo to receive this award, which recognizes long-term efforts that have been
made throughout the company. Sodexo has been committed to fostering diversity
and inclusion for many years: integrating minorities and people with
disabilities, promoting links between generations, promoting gender equality and
ensuring respect for sexual orientation and gender identities are important to
our development. This award is both a recognition of the progress achieved to
date, as well as an incentive to be even more effective in fighting against
discrimination throughout Europe and the world."
Sodexo has received numerous recent awards in Europe for its diversity and
inclusion initiatives and commitments, including:
* the International Diversity Award, distinguishing Sodexo for its global
Diversity and Inclusion strategy;
* Sodexo was ranked sixth in 2013 in an evaluation of the SBF 120[1] companies
most advanced in their feminization policy.
* the "Disability Matters" award in France for Sodexo's actions on behalf of

* the "Active Aging European Award" in Belgium for Sodexo's intergenerational
policy, including on behalf of the well-being of employees aged over 55;
