About this update from Sodexo Sa
Sodexo has secured a two-year £16 million-a-year extension to its services contract at His Majesty's Naval Base (HMNB) Portsmouth, as part of the Ministry of Defence's Future Maritime Support Programme (FMSP). Sodexo's dedicated team of 300 employees provides a wide range of essential services, including catering, retail, leisure activities, cleaning, waste management, grounds maintenance, and helpdesk support. Since taking over the contract five years ago Sodexo has demonstrated its commitment to making meaningful change having identified a number of improvement opportunities to enhance the lived experience of those based at HMNB Portsmouth. Improvements have included changes to the retail facilities and the introduction of its Mindful Active Programme which offers health and wellbeing guidance to military personnel, helping them make informed choices about their lifestyle. Sodexo's commitment to reduce the impact of its services on the environment has seen more environmentally friendly chemicals introduced, the use of re-usable cleaning products to reduce waste and other recycling initiatives as well as the implementation of Sodexo's WasteWatch data-driven food waste management programme.
