Our climate impact must be reduced by 34% by 2025

Global emissions of greenhousegases need to be reversed from the current increase to a massive reduction in order to remain at a level involving manageable risks of serious climate impact. Every country in the world is affected, and we are all part of the problem – and part of the solution.

Our environmental goal is to reduce our climate impact by 34% by 2025, taking 2017 as our base year.This commitment is in line with the guidance of reports by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPPC) to reduce warming to 1.5 °C.

We need knowledge if we are to achieve our goals, which is why we have been running an environmental training programme in Sweden since 2014 that is mandatory for all employees.

We measure our carbon footprint according to the internationally accepted Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standard, which provides direct and indirect categorisation of carbon dioxide emissions as carbon dioxide equivalents.

Our greatest opportunity to make a difference is in respect of indirect emissions, particularly those related to the ingredients we use for cooking within our food services. However, we are actively working on all our emissions with climate impact, such as direct emissions from our transport operations.

“We expanded our electric vehicle fleet in the 2022 financial year to include 29 new vehicles, and we are continuing to work towards increased electrification,” says Thommy Larsen, Segment Supply Manager Sodexo.
