This document follows Sodexo’s decision to adopt the practice
of integrated reporting. Based on the recommendations of
the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC), it also
reflects the direction being taken in our roadmap for corporate
responsibility, Better Tomorrow 2025.

Managers from various departments within the Group took part
in a series of workshops to jointly create the report, ensuring
there is a common perspective on Sodexo’s overall economic,
social and environmental performance.

This second Integrated Report covers the fiscal year 2018
and draws on information from the Registration Document
in which it is published.

                Our unique position in the value chain enables us to develop strong
            relationships with multiple stakeholders. To define priorities and structure
             for our corporate responsibility roadmap, we have identified and ranked
         key issues and impacts in consultation with internal and external stakeholders
         with the support of Business for Social Responsibility (BSR)(1). Our methodology
            relies on interviews conducted with our employees, clients and consumers
                                  as well as market best practices.

    RISK MANAGEMENT AND
INTERNAL CONTROL MODEL BASED
   ON THREE LINES OF DEFENSE
 Operational managers are the first line of defense for identifying and managing risks
in their area of activity. They put in place controls and action plans for the risks identified.
    Support and transversal functions define the procedures and standards and provide
   tools and techniques for operational staff to implement the appropriate controls.
        Internal Audit provides an independent assessment of risk management
      and internal control to the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors.
               It makes recommendations on improving risk management
                        to operational teams and support functions.
          Each year, a risk assessment is carried out based on the reported results
      and summaries established by the senior management of the main entities.
 Sodexo is thus able to define a risk profile that integrates both internal and external
      risks. This evaluation is successively validated by the Executive Committee,
                      the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.

                                   Half of the world’s top 500 companies did not exist 25 years ago.

                                       these changes are occurring at an unprecedented speed and scale.
                                       Attentive to these changes, we are adapting our offers to respond
                                  to the expectations of our consumers and users. The world’s accelerated
                           transformation is profoundly reshaping our life, work and leisure environments,

                               Understanding these 11 megatrends allows us to invest the right resources
                           where they are needed, for example, by developing new businesses or expanding
