Sodexo

Sodexo, a Community Food Services company headquartered in France, has demonstrated a strong commitment to climate action, with detailed emissions reporting and ambitious reduction targets.

In 2025, Sodexo's total carbon emissions are projected to be approximately 10.1 billion kg CO2e. This includes about 90.2 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 3.9 million kg CO2e from market-based Scope 2 emissions, and approximately 9.99 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Notably, Scope 3 emissions in 2025 are primarily driven by purchased goods and services (around 7.17 billion kg CO2e) and use of sold products (approximately 1.59 billion kg CO2e).

Looking back, Sodexo's total emissions were approximately 10.47 billion kg CO2e in 2024, approximately 13.51 billion kg CO2e in 2023, and about 14.19 billion kg CO2e in 2022 (with market-based Scope 1 and 2 emissions totaling approximately 101.4 million kg CO2e). In 2021, the company reported approximately 90.8 million kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2, and around 5.69 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3. For 2020, total Scope 1 and 2 emissions were approximately 121.5 million kg CO2e, with Scope 3 totaling around 6.63 billion kg CO2e. In 2017, total emissions were about 12.57 billion kg CO2e, including approximately 107.5 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, 43.7 million kg CO2e from market-based Scope 2, and 12.42 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3.

Sodexo has set several Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved targets. The primary near-term commitment, cascaded from Sodexo S.A., is to reduce absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 34% by 2025, using a 2017 base year. More recent near-term targets for Sodexo S.A. and Sodexo Limited, both approved by SBTi, commit to a 55% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by FY2030 from a FY2017 base year, along with a 55% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions within the same timeframe. Sodexo Limited also aims to increase annual sourcing of renewable electricity from 0% in FY2017 to 100% by FY2030.

For long-term goals, Sodexo S.A. and Sodexo Limited, have committed to reach net-zero GHG emissions across the value chain by FY2040. This includes a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by FY2040 from a FY2017 base year, for Sodexo Limited. Sodexo also committed to a long-term reduction of 90% in absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 2045 from a 2017 base year. The company is also working towards eliminating deforestation across its primary deforestation-linked commodities by December 2025.
