Champion sustainable resource usage
The climate – one of our times’ biggest challenges Global emissions of greenhouse gases must revert from today’s increase to a major decrease in order to stay at a level with manageable risks for serious climate impacts. All countries in the world are affected and all are part of both the problem and the solution. Our environmental objective is to decrease our climate impacts with 34 % by 2025, with 2011 as the base year. This commitment is aligned with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s report’s reduction pathway to limit warming to 1.5°C. Our environmental engagement is part of Sodexo’s mission and an alleged priority within our sustainability program Better Tomorrow 2025.
In order to reach our set targets, knowledge is required and that’s why we since 2014 perform environmental trainings, which are mandatory for all employees. We measure our climate impacts according to the international established standard from Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) where there is a direct and indirect categorization of carbon emissions such as CO2 equivalent emissions.

Scope 1 relates to direct emissions from operations owned or controlled by Sodexo, and include emissions from vehicles, tools and self-heating. Scope 2 relates to indirect emissions from purchased and used electricity, heating and cooling. In a physical sense, these emissions are made at sites where electricity, heating and cooling are produced.
Scope 3 relates to other indirect emissions, for Sodexo mainly from our supply chain, production of raw material (food), purchased transports and business travel. This is where our biggest climate impact arises due to our food operations.
