Sodexo Celebrates 60 Years: From Marseille to 43 Countries with 430,000 Employees
Sodexo marks its sixtieth anniversary by reaffirming its position as a global leader in catering and services. Founded in 1966 in Marseille by Pierre Bellon, the company emphasizes its long-term strategy with institutional and corporate clients.
A Consistent Vision for Growth
Sodexo continues to evolve with a consistent ambition: to be the trusted partner for its clients over the long term by addressing their strategic challenges related to employer attractiveness, development, and operational performance, while integrating increasingly sustainable solutions. The group supports businesses, healthcare and educational institutions, as well as iconic locations and events. This direction is in line with the legacy of Pierre Bellon, guiding the group's actions since its inception: to be useful to clients and consumers by starting from their real uses and essential challenges.
Global Operations and Sustainable Commitment
Sodexo now operates in 43 countries with nearly 430,000 employees. The group's growth is driven by the enduring commitment of the Bellon Family, the reference shareholder through Bellon SA, ensuring the group's independence and its ability to think long-term. Sodexo meets daily challenges with a dual objective: to improve the quality of life of its employees and all those it serves, and to contribute to economic and social development as well as environmental protection.
