February 2010
Sodexo was recently named as the first company nationwide to secure Red Tractor Corporate Member status, signifying that, having demonstrated a responsible sourcing policy across all its operations, it is now a “wholly accredited” organisation.

It is also the first foodservice company to secure accreditation for its British meat. To achieve the Red Tractor accreditation, the company’s supply chain, systems and processes were independently reviewed and audited by the Assured Food Standards team (AFS). Any new Sodexo sites will now only be required to apply centrally to the organisation’s sustainable procurement team to request the use of Red Tractor logos at point-of-service. Sodexo initially became the first foodservice sector company to secure Red Tractor accreditation across multiple sites in its education, healthcare and defence sectors for fresh produce, milk and cream. The accreditation has now been extended to include all sectors and all fresh meat both in England and Wales.
