Ethical Principles - doing the right thing

Trust

We have earned the mutual trust of clients, employees, shareholders and suppliers establishing mutually loyal and enduring relationships. Loyalty is a keystone of our business. 

Respect

We are committed to equal opportunity for all employees regardless of their race, national origin, creed, opinions, gender, lifestyle choices or age. 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

Transparency is evident at every touchpoint of Sodexo - with stakeholders, clients, consumers, suppliers, partners and our staff. We are dedicated 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, clear information about our company.
We will provide high-quality products and services to our clients 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.

Integrity

No matter what part of the world we are operating in, we will not engage in corrupt practices or unfair competition - and we expect our partners to observe the same high ethical standards. We condemn any and all practices not based on trust, integrity and fairness.
