One of the world's largest food service companies, Sodexo, provides lunches for hundreds of colleges and universities across the US.
Sodexo's college and university division is aiming for 42% of its menu items to be plant-based by 2025, a goal it plans to achieve in part by expanding its partnership with the Humane Society of the U.S.
More than 70% of Sodexo’s supply-based carbon footprint during its 2020 fiscal year tied back to the purchase of animal-based products, the company said, noting that it seeks to reduce its overall carbon emissions by 34% by 2025.
