Sodexo Australia is proud to be ranked #11 in the GoodCompany standings. This achievement highlights our commitment to making a positive difference in the communities we live and work, for our environment, and across our 100+ onshore and offshore sites nationwide.

This recognition is a direct result of the dedication of our people. Their daily actions and commitment to our values are the foundation of what makes Sodexo a force for good. Our belief is that conducting business in a responsible manner has a powerful and positive effect on the thousands of people we serve every day. This means leading by example and choosing actions that benefit our people and our planet.

How We Create Positive Impact

Our approach to corporate responsibility is integrated into every part of our operations. We focus on clear, purposeful actions that deliver tangible benefits. Here is a look at the initiatives that contributed to this significant recognition.

Supporting Our Communities

We believe in empowering our employees and the communities where we operate. A core part of our mission is to give back in meaningful ways.

Volunteering and Fundraising: We provide our team members with volunteering leave each year, encouraging them to support causes they are passionate about. Whether it is helping at a local foodbank, assisting a local school, or participating in community events, every effort contributes to stronger communities.
Making Giving Easy: Through our platform, we simplify the process of giving back. We facilitate credit card donations and offer uncapped matched donations from the company. This amplifies the impact of every dollar our employees contribute to the charities they care about.
Meaningful Partnerships: We proudly support programs that drive real change. Our partnerships include supporting Indigenous businesses, working with organisations like Foodbank Australia and the Newman Women’s Shelter, and backing community programs with the Cowboys Community Foundation. In total, our contributions through funding, volunteering, and in-kind support amount to nearly $1 million each year.

Acting for a Better Future

Sodexo is committed to creating a better future through sustainable and responsible business practices. We lead with a passion for driving change and making a measurable social impact.

Sustainability Goals: We are dedicated to real change through public commitments to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This includes firm targets for green energy adoption and recycling to minimise our environmental footprint.
Social Responsibility: As a signatory to the UN Global Compact, we uphold a strong Social Procurement Policy. This ensures our business practices align with our core values of fairness and respect. We are also committed to our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), which has guided our journey of reconciliation for over 15 years.
A Culture of Inclusion: We strive to create a workplace where everyone feels valued and respected. Our initiatives promote equal pay for equal work and celebrate diversity. We believe that an inclusive and psychologically safe culture allows our employees to bring their whole selves to work, which enriches our organisation and the services we provide.

A Recognition for Our People

This achievement is a testament to our people who live our values every day. They are the ones who go the extra mile for their teammates and demonstrate pride in the work we do for our clients and communities. Their commitment is what defines Sodexo as a truly good company.

Together, we are setting a new standard for what responsible business looks like in the Australian Energy and Resources industry and beyond. We are proud of this milestone and remain focused on our mission to improve the quality of life for everyone we serve.
