We are committed to UN´s sustainability goals

The UN sustainability goals were launched in 2015, and it is the world´ s common work plan when it comes to fighting global challenges within climate, environment and social circumstances. The sustainability goals covers 17 goals, which are applicable for all countries in the world, rich as well as poor countries. This means that also authorities, businesses and communities in the Nordic countries must work together, in order to create a more sustainable, just and equal world by 2030.

As a global actor operating in 53 countries, it is Sodexo´s responsibility to contribute for us to reach the UN goals both locally as well as globally. We updated our own sustainability program in 2017, so it is aligned with the global sustainable goals.

We have several goals related to the 17 main goals and strive to achieve a total of 330 key figures included in our internal yearly sustainability reporting. For a company with 422,000 employees in 53 countries, it means that we have a huge impact both locally and globally. No individual company can create a sustainable tomorrow on its own. We must work together in order to achieve lasting changes.

At Sodexo we work together with global organizations in order to make a difference. On several occasions we have also started own initiatives in order to be able to help others in a better way. We work closely with our customers, suppliers and partners. With the UN's global goals, we feel that we have a common starting point and common goals, which we can work to achieve together.
