EXAMPLES OF A BEST PRACTICE
The Better Tomorrow Plan smartphone application
(BTP App), United-Kingdom: The BTP App is
an interactive platform for smartphones to raise
awareness and provide hints and tips across Sodexo’s
focus areas. Users can flip through tips on how
to reduce their energy consumption, interactive
information on sustainable fish labelling or top 10
tips for a healthy diet and lifestyle. The BTP App
also offers handy features such as a pedometer, no
less than 45 recipes using seasonal produce, and a
selection of Marine Stewardship Council certified
fish. It is even possible to donate money directly to
STOP Hunger. The collection of Apps is aimed at
employees, customers and any other smartphone
users keen on improving their health, reducing
their environmental impact or enhancing their local
community engagement. The App is downloadable
for free from Apple’s App store.
3.4 Suppliers
Sodexo works closely with its suppliers right across
its supply chain, forging business relationships with
those that share its values, and making every effort
to apply those values in practice in its purchasing
transactions.
Sustainability teams work with external consultancy
bodies to progress on environmental issues and aid
compliance with environmental regulations. As an
example in the United Kingdom, Sodexo joined
Linking Environment And Farming (LEAF) as a
corporate member, the first of its kind from the food
and Facilities Management sector.
The Group is member of SEDEX (Supplier Ethical
Data Exchange), a membership organization for
businesses committed to continuous improvement
of the ethical performance of their supply chains.
Sodexo is also the first food services company to
promote “Red Tractor” certification for produce
grown or raised in the United Kingdom.

EXAMPLE OF A BEST PRACTICE
Rethinking the global food system: Sodexo
participated in the “Appetite for change” report from
the sustainable innovation company SustainAbility.
Drawing upon input from industry leaders and
experts, the report outlines the problems of the global
food system and proposes reorganizing it around four
objectives: guaranteeing equitable food production
within the constraints of natural resources, move
toward a systemic approach to food procurement at the
global level; explore the role of information technology
in the treatment of this data and the communication
of information; and understand societal needs linked
to food production and consumption.
