Sodexo earns CDP Climate A rating, ranking among top 4 percent globally

Sodexo secured a CDP Climate A rating in early January 2026, placing it among the top 4 percent of over 22,000 companies assessed and reflecting a 37.7 percent cut in Scope 1 and 2 emissions versus 2017. The result underscores how verified climate disclosure and SBTi-aligned targets increasingly drive investor confidence and procurement decisions relevant to Indian corporates.

Sodexo earned the CDP Climate A rating in early January 2026, placing it among the top 4 percent of over 22,000 companies globally assessed by CDP, the environmental disclosure body guiding investors on climate risk. This marks the second time Sodexo achieved an A score, reflecting consistent execution of its climate strategy and alignment with the Science Based Targets initiative to reach Net Zero by 2040. In fiscal 2025, the Group achieved a 37.7 percent reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions against its 2017 baseline.

Sodexo operates in materially climate-impacted sectors including food services, facilities management, and resource-intensive services, where the rating highlights integration of climate resilience into core decision-making. With 426,000 employees across 43 countries serving approximately 80 million consumers daily, the company influences environmental outcomes at scale through food-waste reduction and responsible supply-chain management. The rating amplifies credibility with global investors, ESG data users, and corporate partners, strengthening positioning in sustainable procurement decisions and trust in climate-risk disclosures.

Stakeholders and partners should monitor Sodexo's transition from the concluded Better Tomorrow 2025 roadmap into the Better Tomorrow 2028 framework designed to accelerate climate action across operations, supply chains, and client engagements. The Group also reported a 19.1 percent reduction in Scope 3 emissions, a critical value-chain category. Companies seeking partners with strong ESG performance should note that verified data disclosures and SBTi alignment increasingly drive new business opportunities as regulators and capital markets integrate climate metrics.
