Sodexo SA will eliminate more than 1,000 jobs in France as part of a broader restructuring initiative to enhance growth and competitiveness. The French catering and facilities management group plans to cut 963 positions, which account for 4% of its workforce in the country.
The restructuring includes two distinct components. The first involves reducing 963 roles across general operations, while a separate project targets the company’s headquarters, where up to 134 additional layoffs are possible. The moves follow a strategic review aimed at streamlining operations and improving financial performance.
Sodexo, which operates globally in food services, benefits and facilities management, did not disclose further financial details or timelines for the job reductions. The announcement comes amid broader efforts by multinational companies to adapt to shifting market conditions and cost pressures.
