These changes demonstrate Sodexo’s commitment to Quality of Life values both for our unit staff and for our consumers.

And the problem is here to stay: The average length of conflict-induced displacement is 17 years according to a United Nations study. The complexity of this situation requires new solutions beyond traditional government response, and the private sector in particular has an important role to play.
