How does Sodexo make a public commitment to incorporate its human rights policy in contracts with major partners and suppliers?
Promoting ethical sourcing and partnering with stakeholders We are strengthening our ethical partnerships to foster respect for people and the environment; our suppliers are committed to working with us to promote this approach in our daily activities and contribute to our progress. In our activities, it is essential to develop trusting, long-term relationships with each of our suppliers to guarantee the quality of our products throughout the supply chain. Furthermore, we have encouraged our suppliers to adopt a policy of cultural and social diversity towards their own suppliers. In line with this, we do not take part in any government or business which fails to uphold basic human rights within its sphere of influence, and in any business whose links to an oppressive regime are a continuing cause for concern.
