Sodexo has once again been ranked on the prestigious CDP¹ Climate A List, positioning itself among the world’s leading companies for environmental transparency and performance. Only 4% of the more than 22,000 companies assessed in 2025 received this top score, and Sodexo is the only company in its sector to achieve this distinction.

En attribuant la note « A » pour la deuxième fois, CDP confirme la solidité et la constance de l’engagement de Sodexo en faveur de l’action climatique. Elle reflète à la fois l’ambition de la stratégie climat du Groupe, alignée avec l’initiative Science Based Targets (SBTi) pour atteindre la neutralité carbone (Net Zero) d’ici 2040, ainsi que la rigueur, la transparence et la qualité de sa mise en œuvre.

Mouna Fassi Daoudi, Sodexo Group Chief Sustainability Officer, said:

"We are proud to see Sodexo included once again in the CDP A List, recognizing our teams’ efforts to embed our climate commitments into daily operations in collaboration with our clients. It reinforces our conviction that sustainability serves business performance, as well as positively impacting people and planet. Our focus remains on tangible impact and measurable progress as we support the transition to a more sustainable food system.”

This recognition comes as Sodexo closes its trailblazing global sustainability roadmap - Better Tomorrow 2025 - and enters a new phase of its climate journey with the recent launch of Better Tomorrow 2028. In line with its 2025 commitments, Sodexo has been actively reducing the carbon emissions linked to its activities: in fiscal year 2025, the Group achieved a 37.7% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions and a 19.1% reduction in Scope 3 emissions compared with its 2017 baseline.

Built on these achievements, Better Tomorrow 2028 is designed to accelerate Sodexo’s positive and sustainable impact - from its people to its clients and partners for a better planet and society.
