Press ReleaseMonth long, multi-city food & ration distribution initiative to commemorate 25 years in India
Advancing in its quest to build a sustainable hunger-free world, Sodexo India, on #WorldHungerDay culminated its annual month-long community-based event by providing food and ration items to communities where access to quality food continues to be a challenge. This year, Servathon, Sodexo’s largest global Stop Hunger event, left its mark in 14 cities, connecting with 25 NGOs, catering to 5500 beneficiaries with over 20,000 meal donations. 250 employees from across office and site locations volunteered more than 1000 man-hours, to support the local communities in tackling hunger and malnutrition.
Coinciding with the event, Sodexo announced its Volunteering Leave Policy that encourages employees to avail one day of paid leave when participating in the Company organized volunteering activities under the Stop Hunger and Servathon programs, or other volunteering activities related to tackling malnutrition or hunger. Through this policy, the company instills the values of Team Spirit, Service Spirit, and the Spirit of Progress in its employees, thereby inspiring them to serve the community that sustains them.
