Our Group
Our activities
Sodexo partners with private and public and
organizations to design, manage and deliver
customized Motivation Solutions in three service
categories:
• employee Benefits to attract, engage and retain
employees (such as restaurant and transport
vouchers);
• Incentives and Recognition to help organizations
reach their qualitative and quantitative objectives
(gift vouchers, etc.);
• Public Benefits to manage and control the
distribution of aid and public subsidies.
The Pass, designed by Sodexo to serve a variety
of purposes from transport and meals to gifts and
training, is accepted by a network of more than
1 million retailers and service providers throughout
the world.
SYNERGIES BETWEEN OUR THREE ACTIVITIES
Important synergies exist between Sodexo’s three
activities:
Organizational and cost synergies
The teams of Sodexo’s different activities are able
to share the same infrastructure (support functions,
facilities, etc.), saving on structural costs. In addition,
the multiple career gateways that exist between
the Group’s three activities offer important human
resource synergies.
Brand synergies
The presence of the Sodexo brand at the point of
sale of numerous Motivation Solutions affiliates
contributes to building brand awareness in countries
where the Group operates, helping promote medium
term development.

Personal and Home Services
Sodexo designs and deploys Personal and Home
Services that improve the Quality of Life in four
main areas:
• childcare;
• tutoring and adult education;
• concierge services ;
• senior care.
Through these services, Sodexo contributes to the
development of children, teenagers, adults and
seniors.
Commercial synergies
P ◀ CONTENTS ▶
Commercial relationships created by one of the
three activities generate business development
opportunities for the other two, such as:
• Sodexo’s On-site Services clients may also need
restaurant vouchers for geographically-dispersed
employees; conversely, Motivation Solutions
clients may seek On-site Services;
• Motivation Solutions and On-site Services clients
may need Personal and Home Services such as
concierge services, a childcare center or assistance
to elderly individuals.
These examples illustrate how the choice of these
three activities helps Sodexo accelerate its organic
growth.
