Sodexo UK and Ireland has signed a new partnership with Bright Future Co-op to help survivors of modern slavery find meaningful employment. Sodexo is the first contract caterer to join the co-op.
Bright Future, a not-for-profit cooperative, offers a national matching service for victims to find employment. When an opportunity arises, the individual is offered four-week work placement, which if successful will lead to a non-competitive interview and offer of a permanent role.
'Commitment to fair hiring'
Thomas Williams, Bright Future Co-op manager, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Sodexo as a new member of Bright Future. Its commitment to fair hiring and meaningful support will help create genuine pathways into work and lasting stability for people who have experienced exploitation.”
Bill Buchan, HR director for Sodexo UK and Ireland, added: “This new partnership is a natural extension to our work in tackling modern slavery and a chance to make a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by it. Joining Bright Future is a proud moment for us and a powerful step forward in our commitment to social justice.”
