Sodexo : sustainably at the top of the DJSI
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Industry leader across economic, social and environmental dimensions
Paris, September 7, 2017 - Sodexo, world leader in Quality of Life Services, has
been named the top-rated company in its sector on the Dow Jones Sustainability
Index (DJSI) for the 13(th) consecutive year, reinforcing the company's
leadership and commitment to corporate responsibility worldwide.
DJSI, a leading global sustainability benchmark and reference for sustainable
investing, evaluates performance in three principal dimensions: economic, social
and environmental. The DJSI results recognize Sodexo's concrete commitments in
these areas, which are cornerstones of the company's corporate responsibility
roadmap, Better Tomorrow 2025. For example:
* Economic: Supply management for local community development. Launched in
2013, Sodexo's Partner Inclusion Program drives diversity among suppliers
and merchants in all countries where Sodexo operates. We actively support
women- and minority-owned businesses and work to help create sustainable
economic opportunities for those communities around the world. (click here

* Social: Empowerment for women. Sodexo's goal is to have at least 40% women
among its senior leaders by 2025. However, empowerment for women at Sodexo
goes beyond company walls. In line with the UN Sustainable Development
Goals, we believe gender equality can help end hunger, and we invest in
programs to support women while supporting Stop Hunger Worldwide, a non-
profit organization founded by Sodexo employees to fight hunger. (click here

* Environmental: Climate change. Sodexo has committed to reduce its carbon
emissions by 34% by 2025 compared to a 2011 baseline. We partnered with the
World Wildlife Foundation to set this ambitious target, and are
progressively reducing carbon emissions at client and Sodexo sites and
throughout our supply chain. (click here to read the story)
