Sodexo and Stëmm vun der Strooss : Solidarity in Luxembourg
In the heart of Luxembourg, Sodexo and Stëmm vun der Strooss join forces to promote solidarity and social action.
Empowering communities: Sodexo's impactful initiatives in Luxembourg
Sodexo values acting with purpose. Our employees are motivated to give meaning to their daily actions and make a difference. At Sodexo, our team members have the opportunity to support local communities and contribute to a better future. This is why Sodexo plays a crucial role in implementing initiatives with a positive impact.
Every year, over 8 000 colleagues took advantage of this opportunity, totaling nearly 50 000 volunteer hours.
Since 2014, Sodexo Luxembourg has been involved with the association Stëmm vun der Strooss to assist underprivileged individuals.
Stëmm vun der Strooss works towards the social and professional integration of disadvantaged persons. The beneficiaries of the association include the homeless, unemployed people or those receiving minimum income, ex-convicts, asylum seekers, immigrants, and individuals with mental and/or substance abuse disorders, including drug, alcohol, or medication dependencies.
More specifically:
- Clothing and food drives: Internal communication is conducted to encourage our associates to make donations to support the Stëmm vun der Strooss organization.
- Solidarity rounding: Employees are encouraged to donate the cents after the decimal point of their salary, which are then transferred to the association once a year. These small monthly contributions make a big difference for underprivileged citizens.
- Volunteer day: Several days are scheduled by the association supported by Sodexo. Last March, Stëmm vun der Strooss organized a day to collect used bicycles. By adding a few euros to the selling price of the bicycles, the total amount of the supplement wad donated to the association. 8 Sodexo members provided support on this day by helping to receive, sort, and organize the bikes throughout the day.
