EAT, the science-based international platform dedicated to transforming food systems, has announced a new partnership with global food service leader Sodexo. Through this collaboration, Sodexo becomes EAT’s exclusive partner from the food service sector, working to make healthier and more sustainable diets a practical reality for communities worldwide.
The partnership will be introduced at the upcoming Stockholm Food Forum on October 3–4, where Sodexo and EAT will co-host the Forum’s official dinner at the Strawberry Hotel. The menu will demonstrate how sustainable foods can be both nutritious and satisfying for guests.
“We are excited to welcome Sodexo as a partner of the Stockholm Food Forum in driving the shift toward healthy and sustainable food systems,” said Tomas Alfred Røen, CEO of EAT. “Sodexo’s operational expertise makes it an essential voice in translating science into action.”
Turning Vision Into Action
Sodexo will play an active role in the Stockholm Food Forum, participating in multi-stakeholder discussions and hosting a dedicated side event on implementing responsible food choices at scale.The company has been steadily advancing its sustainability efforts. In the United States, Sodexo is working with Humane World for Animals to make 50% of college campus menus plant-based and has been testing a DefaultVeg strategy in some universities, making sustainable meals the standard option. Earlier this year, Sodexo also collaborated with Greener by Default to expand plant-forward offerings in hundreds of hospitals.
Scaling Sustainable Food Choices
“Partnering with EAT represents an important step forward in our ambition to promote more conscious eating practices for people and the planet,” said Sophie Bellon, CEO and Chairwoman of Sodexo. “By combining EAT’s scientific leadership with Sodexo’s global reach and expertise, we can help turn ambition into action. This partnership also gives us the opportunity to engage with our clients and mobilize our wider stakeholder ecosystem. That is how we can deliver real impact at scale.”Together, Sodexo and EAT aim to show that transforming food systems is not just possible—it’s already underway.
