Two sides are working together to help develop and encourage more sustainable eating habits
Sodexo and EAT have announced a new partnership aimed at advancing healthier and more sustainable eating habits.
EAT is the science-based global platform for food system transformation. As EAT’s exclusive partner from the foodservice industry, Sodexo said it will “bring its global expertise to translate cutting-edge science into practical, scalable solutions that make food choices good for the people and the planet accessible to all”.
The partnership is centred on a shared commitment to promote and inspire healthier and more sustainable eating, the two sides said. It will showcase innovation in action, deepen Sodexo’s alignment with the forthcoming 2025 EAT-Lancet Commission findings and support the company’s sustainability goals.
The partnership will be highlighted for the first time at the Stockholm Food Forum, taking place in the Swedish capital on 3-4 October 2025.
At the Forum, EAT and Sodexo will co-organise the Stockholm Food Forum dinner at the Strawberry Hotel. The dinner will show how sourcing and cooking that prioritise nutrition and responsible choices can both delight guests and meet dietary needs.
Sodexo will also take an active role in key multi-stakeholder discussions at the forum. In particular, the group will host a side event focused on moving from vision to on-the-ground implementation, engaging a broad ecosystem around more responsible food choices.
Tomas Alfred Røen, chief executive of EAT, said: “We are excited to welcome Sodexo as a partner of the Stockholm Food Forum in driving the shift toward healthy and sustainable food systems. Sodexo’s operational expertise makes them an essential voice in translating science into action.”
Sophie Bellon, chairwoman of Sodexo’s board of directors and chief executive, added: “Partnering with EAT represents an important step forward in our ambition to promote more conscious eating practices for people and the planet. 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 mobilise our wider stakeholder ecosystem. That is how we can deliver real impact at scale.”
