OP-13: Vendor Code of Conduct

The URL isn't for a vendor code of conduct, but it is relevant information about Sodexo. The information is pasted below: Food Alliance Sodexo is committed to improving the quality of daily life for people, whenever and wherever they come together. To that end, Sodexo was one of the first contract food service companies to partner with Food Alliance. This non-profit organization promotes sustainable agriculture by recognizing and rewarding farmers who produce food in environmentally friendly and socially responsible ways. Together, Sodexo and Food Alliance take responsibility for educating our customers and others in the food system about the benefits of sustainable agriculture. Every day, we make choices in the food we buy and the food we eat. This directly impacts our lives- not just what we eat, but the water we drink, the air we breathe and the health of our communities. Our Food Alliance guiding principles are: Protecting and conserving water resources Protecting and enhancing soil resources Conserving and recycling nutrients Reducing the environmental and health impacts of pesticides by practicing Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Conserving and enhancing wildlife habitat Providing safe and fair working conditions for our employees and our families Producing Food Alliance certified crops without the use of genetically modified organisms (GMO's) Provide healthy and humane care for livestock Continually improving farming/ranching practices Below are just some of the practices implemented at Oklahoma City University: Recycling of all food service fryer grease Elimination of cafeteria trays, resulting in a 15% reduction in waste Participation in OCU Campus Wide Recycling: Also, Sodexo is proud to be involved in the new campus-wide recycling program at OCU.
