Case Study: Sodexo – GOALympics Initiative

This case study presents GOALympics, a global employee engagement programme designed to reduce food waste across Sodexo operations in 14 countries. Through a structured, competition-based approach combining measurement, team engagement, and innovation, participating sites improved waste tracking and achieved measurable reductions in pre-consumer food waste. The initiative demonstrates how short-term, incentive-driven programmes can catalyse long-term behavioural change, foster innovation, and scale best practices across diverse operational contexts.
