Today, we've launched our 2024 Social Impact Report - an update on our progress against the commitments we made over the last three years and the commitments we made in our Social Impact Pledge. We always say ‘what gets measured gets done’. Here are just a few highlights: ⚡ Increasing average spend with SME/VCSE supply partners to 50%, exceeding the 40% target. ⚡ Reducing food service Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by 21% by increasing sales of sustainable options. ⚡ Investing in the Starting Fresh programme to encourage even more businesses and Sodexo managers to employ 567 prison leavers within six weeks of release, and 701 within six months of leaving prison.

Patient feedback is crucial, but traditional surveys often miss real-time needs. Sodexo Health & Care’s Experiencia solution changes that by capturing daily feedback from patients and clinical teams, enhancing the patient experience during their stay. Experiencia provides real-time insights to improve non-clinical services and boost patient satisfaction. By combining human interactions with data, we deliver better, patient-centered services. Our brand ambassador, Matt Dawson MBE RWC, recently explored what clinicians think about Experiencia and the positive impact it has on patient experience.
