Background
Located in Dampier, a major industrial port town in the Pilbara region in the northwest of Western Australia, Sodexo manages Rio Tinto’s newly refurbished 568-room FIFO accommodation, Peninsula Palms Village. Diverting food waste from landfill and reducing the high cost of waste management in a remote area was a key priority for this facility.

With an ambitious goal to reduce their carbon emissions by 34% by 2025 (vs 2017) and Net Zero by 2045. Sodexo is the first food services company to align its objectives to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
