A better tomorrow depends on what we do today. Since 1966, corporate responsibility has been at the heart of what we do. Our clients and suppliers can rely on our experience to help them achieve their own sustainability goals. We make our impacts on society and the environment through everyday interactions. We aspire for a better tomorrow.
We have committed to reducing our carbon emissions by 34% by 2025 (compared to 2017). The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved our target in July 2019, making us the first food services company to align our objective to limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
Additionally, about one-third of our U.S. emissions result from purchases of animal-based products. To reduce our impact and meet the growing demand for plant-based options, we are increasing our menu options with a goal of 33% plant-based planned menus by 2025.
As a member of RE100, Sodexo will support renewable electricity infrastructure by purchasing Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to cover electricity usage at 100% of our directly operated sites by 2023. RE100 is a global initiative bringing together the world's most influential companies leading the transition to 100% renewable electricity.
At Sodexo, it’s our belief all children deserve access to sufficient healthy food every day so they can learn, play and thrive. That’s why, in 1996, we created our Stop Hunger initiative and, in 1999, launched the Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation, a not-for-profit organization. Our mission is to ensure every child in the U.S. grows up with dependable access to enough nutritious food to enable them to lead a healthy, productive life.
The Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation mobilizes experts, innovators, volunteers and donors to feed children in the U.S. today and advocate for policies that ensure no child is hungry again tomorrow. This includes Sodexo employees, who support Stop Hunger year-round by donating their time, resources and expertise, holding fundraisers and encouraging others to get involved.
Sodexo, Inc. funds all administrative costs for the Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation so all money raised helps those in need. Since its inception, we have granted more than $34.5 million to alleviate child hunger.
