Ethical Principles
Sodexo's ethical principles are based upon loyalty, respect, transparency and integrity.
Loyalty
We earn the mutual trust of clients, employees, shareholders and suppliers by establishing loyal and enduring relationships. Trust is one of the foundations of our business.
Respect for people
We are committed to equal opportunities for all regardless of race, origin, age, gender, beliefs, religion or lifestyle choices.
We seek to create a work environment based on mutual respect for all individuals, building a culture that appreciates and values the experiences and skills brought by each person to benefit our organisation.
Transparency
We are committed to ensuring that every employee is informed in clear, practical terms of their objectives, rights and duties, while also receiving 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 the same accurate and clear information about our company.
We will provide high-quality products and services to our clients and customers and will always seek to create value for them.
We will offer our suppliers clear, understandable contracts, with the expectation that they too will operate ethically.
Business integrity
We will not engage in corrupt practices and unfair competition - and we expect our partners to observe the same high standards of ethics. We condemn any and all practices not based on honesty, integrity and fairness.
