Supply chain inclusion
We launched our supplier inclusion programme
in 2015, partnering with key supplier diversity
organisations such as MSD UK, Social Enterprise
UK and WeConnect.
Last year, we achieved Best in Class in MSD UK’s
Supplier Diversity Programme benchmark for the
second year in a row, increasing our score from 80%
to 89% and were also shortlisted for the Market
Builder award at the Social Enterprise UK Awards
Since 2021 have dedicated over 100 hours to supply
chain inclusion events.
Partners with Purpose
In 2023, Sodexo held its 昀椀rst annual Partners with
Purpose conference. Attended by representatives
from across its supply chain – including SME and
VCSE suppliers – the conference facilitates discussion
around how Sodexo and its suppliers can work in
partnership to create greater social impact together.
In that 昀椀rst year, the focus was on net zero and the
launch of Sodexo’s supplier engagement strategy.
