Operating in 67 countries, Sodexo serves 100 million consumers each day through its unique combination of On-site Services, Benefits and Rewards Services and Personal and Home Services.

Sodexo in Australia employs a diverse workforce of over 5,000 employees. Sodexo delivers a unique array of over 100 integrated services lines across a range of sectors, including Corporate, Healthcare & Seniors, Education, Government & Justice Services and Energy & Resources both on and offshore.

Sodexo initially engaged Elevate in 2018, following its acquisition of Morris Corporation, to provide support to its communications team. Since, Elevate has ingrained itself as an extension of the company’s Brand & Communications Team, working with company leaders, stakeholders and partners to build Sodexo’s brand and reputation in Australia.

A major part of Elevate’s work for Sodexo is highlighting its important work as part of the company’s Better Tomorrow 2025 corporate social responsibility road map, with key focuses on improving the quality of life of employees, clients and consumers; tackling hunger and malnutrition; boosting Indigenous community engagement and employment; and, reducing food waste.

The communication program has included:

• Regular media campaigns to highlight the company’s business contracts, Indigenous business partnerships and initiatives, sustainable business action and innovative practice
• Media and corporate communication activity surrounding Sodexo’s Elevate Reconciliation Action Plan, launching the plan to media and articulating the company’s work with individual Indigenous businesses through a suite of case studies
• Content development and graphic design for a range of internal communication campaigns, including Sodexo’s quarterly Energy & Resources Connexions magazine, ongoing mental health campaign – I Hear You, and Facilities Management Trends Report
• Event management for Sodexo’s annual Focus on Growth Conference, managing more than 200 corporate partners
• Development of award submissions on behalf of the organisation, which has seen Sodexo awarded three accolades at the annual Facilities Management Awards
