Responsible sourcing

Sodexo Singapore has been named one of UCC Coffee Singapore and The Kaffe 7's Business Partner of the Year for our support of sustainable, fair trade coffee. Our purchase of ethical coffee beans for use by our in-house coffee brand, Aspretto, is in line with our commitment to support the development of healthy communities and ecosystems.

Rice farmers in Northeast Thailand produce rice of superior quality without using chemicals but the rice generally sells for a very low price. We are working with a local non-profit project to ensure that farmers receive fair payment for their products. We support the local economy by purchasing high quality rice directly at a rate of 23 baht per kg instead of 5–10 baht.

In the space of six years, we have helped Australian Indigenous Coffee (AIC), an aboriginal family business and our partner since 2015, to become the top aboriginal coffee supplier in Western Australia. Partnerships and investment in aboriginal companies in the Torres Strait are part of our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) to support economic inclusion and supplier diversity in Australia.
