Trust
Over the past 40 years, Sodexo has earned the trust of thousands of clients and millions of customers all around the world, establishing loyal and enduring relationships with its clients, employees, shareholders, suppliers and other stakeholders.
Respect for people
Sodexo is committed to providing equal opportunities for all employees regardless of their race, national origin, creed, political beliefs, personal opinions, gender, lifestyle choices or age.
Because respect is an inalienable part of our commitment to improving the quality of daily life for those we serve, Sodexo is strongly committed to creating a work environment based on mutual respect for all individuals and building a culture that appreciates and values the experiences and skills brought by each person to benefit our organization. Every Sodexo employee has the right to voice a complaint or concern, and to be heard in a timely manner, in an atmosphere of respect, concern, and cooperation. In this way, Sodexo seeks to create an environment that fosters mutual respect among all of our people.
Transparency
More than just the right to useful information, for Sodexo, transparency is an important part of our culture.
We are committed to ensuring that every employee is informed in clear, practical terms of their objectives, rights and duties, while also receiving periodic updates about important corporate news and events. Employees are expected to be completely transparent in the information they provide.
We will continue to provide all shareholders with equal access to the same accurate, clear information about our company and our business.
We will provide high-quality products and services to our clients and will always seek to create value for them.
We will offer our vendors and suppliers clear, understandable contracts at fair terms, with the expectation that they too will operate ethically.
Business integrity
Sodexo will not engage in unethical, illegal or unfair business practices - and we expect our partners to observe the same high standards of ethics that have been the hallmark of our company. Wherever we do business, we will not tolerate business practices that are not based on our core principles of trust, integrity and fairness.
