Sodexo has re-signed a five-year facilities management and food services deal with pharmaceutical and biotechnology company AstraZeneca.
The companies have worked together in the UK since 2008. The contract was extended to cover additional sites and scope of services in the UK, as well as in Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Norway in 2012.
The latest contract update means Sodexo will continue to provide services across AstraZeneca’s global portfolio, including food services, workplace services, cleaning in GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) and quality-controlled lab areas, technical services, grounds maintenance and waste handling.
Sodexo plans to implement new initiatives across AstraZeneca’s estate, including carbon labelling on food menus and the use of the WasteWatch initiative to track and limit food waste.
Johan Stellingwerf, Sodexo Chief Operating Officer for Global Strategic Accounts said: “We are very pleased to have extended our long-lasting partnership with AstraZeneca. Together, we share a mutual commitment to nurturing healthy people, healthy planet and healthy society within our workplaces.
“We will continue to enhance AstraZeneca’s best-in-class workplace by delivering sustainable experiences every day for everyone. Together with our teams, we will continue generating value, supporting both companies’ strong commitments around Sustainability, Safety, Quality & Compliance, Innovation and People.”
