Compliance Week 2010
The purpose of Compliance Week is to encourage and educate Sodexo employees about the importance of maintaining the highest standards of ethical behavior in all dealings in the company, and with our clients, our customers, others with whom we conduct business, and in the communities we serve.
Sodexo is celebrating its first annual Compliance Week from January 25 - 29, 2010. The purpose of Compliance Week is to encourage and educate Sodexo employees about the importance of maintaining the highest standards of ethical behavior in all dealings in the company, and with our clients, our customers, others with whom we conduct business, and in the communities we serve. Highlighting ethics and compliance throughout an entire week will give our managers the opportunity to focus on a different topic with their team members each day.
