As part of its commitment to sustainable development,
Sodexho strives to minimize the direct impact of its service
activities on the environment.
Working at the computer, using the printer, taking a coffee
break, heating the offi ce, turning on the light, traveling:
all these activities affect the environment. An internal
group known as the Environmental Life Committee has
been established, bringing together representatives
from various corporate functions to assess and limit the
environmental effect of administrative tasks carried out
by Sodexho’s employees.
An initial action plan has been drafted, accompanied by
awareness programs at the Montigny site involving a new
network of “environmental monitors” and the launch of
an environmental policy for offi ces.

will permit Sodexho to improve its pro-environment
activities.
