  5. Generations

Gender

Our global gender balance and gender equality strategy is a key driver in ensuring that people of all genders have equal access to growth and opportunities in our workplace. Our research shows that gender balanced teams perform better, so we are working to have women represent at least 40 percent of our leaders by 2025. This important goal will not be met overnight, so we have established a gender strategy to help us succeed. At Sodexo, we carry out a wide range of initiatives to achieve our commitments:

SoTogether, The Advisory Board for Gender Equality 

The cornerstone of Sodexo's gender equality strategy is SoTogether (formerly SWIFt), an advisory board dedicated to promoting women's advancement. The advisory board consists of 28 women and 7 men, from 17 nationalities, who are dedicated to ensuring better gender balance at all levels of the organization. Its objectives are clear:

 
  1. Reach 40% women among Senior Leaders by 2025
  2. Increase the number of women in talent pipeline
  3. Increase the gender balance in management teams
  4. Increase the number of women in operations
  5. Create a culture of inclusion

Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity - LGBTQ+

Sodexo has partnered with Out & Equal for over a decade on their Workplace Summit, to share strategies, professional development opportunities and best practices to create inclusive workplaces which are welcoming of all sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions. Sodexo has also partnered with Out & Equal to expand their global footprint to countries/cities where Sodexo has a robust line of business presence. This effort provides us an opportunity to engage with clients who are also Out & Equal corporate members and create cultural change within our organizations, hence improving the quality of life of our employees.
