Our responsible partnerships: moving forward together
For us to reach our corporate responsibility goals and to raise awareness, we know that we cannot do this on our own. We are glad to have built long-lasting and fruitful partnerships with external organisations that foster sustainability and diversity.
Partnering with the AGREA to reduce our environmental impact
We have partnered with AGREA, working to improve our sustainable food offers and purchasing practices. The partnership is focused on promoting sustainable eating and reducing carbon emissions, including the following workstreams:
- Increase the share of low-carbon menus
- source responsibly
- reduce food waste
- foster employee engagement.
“We, at AGREA, together with our farming community partners, continue to strengthen our partnership with Sodexo through our work on the ground. We aim to implement all sustainability measures across the food value chain to increase farm biodiversity and build farmers' resiliency amidst climate changes. In the same manner, we focus on decreasing the carbon footprint of the supply chain while uplifting the lives of farmers, supporting local communities, and regenerating the planet.”
Fighting against food waste
We are committed to prevent food waste and have teamed up with different organisations to make sure we stay on track. With our partners’ help, we are working to achieve our objective to reduce our food waste by 50%.
Implementing a “farm to fork” approach with the International Food Waste Coalition
We are aware that it requires a huge effort from all participants in the food chain to make a decisive positive impact. We are proud be a founding member of the International Food Waste Coalition (IFWC), joining forces and expertise with other companies to prevent food waste with a collaborative “farm-to-fork” approach.
Sharing expertise to make a collective impact with Champions 12.3
Champions 12.3 is a coalition of executives dedicated to working towards achieving the 12.3 United Nations’ goal to halve global food waste by 2030. Sophie Bellon, our Chairwoman and CEO is furthering our focus on taking strong, transparent action to support the sustainable use of natural resources, waste reduction and food waste diversion.
Uniting leading food companies against waste with the 10x20x30 initiative
As another step we have taken towards the United Nations’ Target 12.3, we have joined the 10x20x30 initiative, along with nine other world leaders in the food industry. With the goal of efficient collective waste reduction, these partners are working with 20 of their priority suppliers to implement shared waste measurement processes throughout the value chain.
