Sodexo
Sodexho, or more properly Sodexho Alliance, is a French multinational corporation and one of the largest foodservice companies in the world. It is present in 78 countries.
It was founded in Marseille in 1966 by Pierre Bellon. Since 2003, it has been directed by Jean-Michel Dhenain and Michel Landel.
Sodexho notably operates cafeterias in companies, public agencies, institutions, schools, colleges, universities, hospitals and even private prisons. However, the company's activities in private prisons and in schools have given to rise to considerable controversy and a boycott by over sixty US colleges and institutions (see campaign site). The film Super Size Me criticized Sodexho's policies on child nutrition in their client schools, featuring Madison Junior High School (Naperville, Illinois) to make its point.
Sodexho's turnover for the year ended 31 August 2004 was €11,245 billion.
Sodexho is now fast growing in the operation of Plant Operations, Housekeeping and Mailrooms
