For the second year running Sodexo is France's leading company for gender balance in top management
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Issy-les-Moulineaux, 8 October 2015 - For the second year in a row, Sodexo,
world leader in Quality of Life services, tops the list of publicly quoted
companies for gender balance within its leadership team. The list is published
by the Ministry of Women's Rights and concerns gender balance both in the
group's top management and its operational teams.
With women making up 43% of Sodexo's Executive Committee and 38% of its Board of
Directors, the group's commitment to gender equality is the heart of its
strategy and performance. Sodexo is at the forefront of the gender equality
ranking of the SBF 120 French stock market index in a ranking released today by
the French government (the Palmarès de la féminisation des instances
dirigeantes).
Michel Landel, CEO of Sodexo, said "I am proud that for the second year in a row
the Group has been recognized by the Ministry of State Women's Rights for the
gender balance of our leadership team. Today diversity in all its forms is a
powerful lever for company performance and a source of innovation and
development of talent on behalf of our customers."
Nathalie Bellon-Szabo, Senior Vice President Sodexo Sports and Leisure, who
received the award from Minister of State for Women's Rights Pascale Boistard,
said: "It is a great honour to receive this accolade on behalf of Sodexo. Sodexo
is a company that is naturally close to both men and women and cannot develop if
it ignores diversity, which is a rich source of creativity and collective
performance."
Nathalie Bellon-Szabo stressed the importance of SWIFT, the Sodexo Women's
International Forum for Talent, which underpins Sodexo's strategy for improving
the group's gender balance. Launched 2009 by Michel Landel, SWIFT comprises 35
senior managers representing 15 different nationalities and all the Company's
business segments, and aims to increase the number of women in senior positions.
SWIFT makes practical suggestions that have led to the progress now recognized
by the French Ministry of Women's Rights
