In light of the recent escalation in the COVID-19 situation in a number of countries, Sodexo is coordinating globally to manage its business continuity and pandemic plans to support and protect its employees and consumers across all of its geographies.
The health and safety of Sodexo employees and consumers is our utmost priority.
Sodexo has reinforced the existing rules for food safety, personal hygiene and infection control which will reduce the risk of this, or any other virus, spreading. Sodexo is also restricting all non-essential business travel until further notice. This action is being taken as a precaution.
Local teams have been proactively managing the response with our clients since the outbreak was first announced, ensuring business continuity and the safety of the teams and consumers in the various geographies where we operate.
As the situation is an evolving one, Sodexo teams are adhering to guidelines of health advisories and local authorities and will continue to closely monitor the situation.

From moving employees from temporarily closed Sodexo sites to hospitals, senior living centers, and to partnerships with other employers, Sodexo is pulling every lever at its disposal.

Resources for These Times
The coronavirus health crisis has created a secondary crisis in supply-chain logistics and emergency preparedness. Facilities must be well-managed, supply chains open and working, food served, environments kept safe, and staff well cared for. We hope that sharing our expertise will help the global community tackle these important issues effectively.
