The Culinary Excellence at the Paris 2024 Olympics Athletes’ Village
Sodexo Live! has long been a staple in Paris, providing top-notch dining experiences to locals and visitors alike. Their latest endeavor is the provision of an estimated 13 million meals at the Athletes’ Village during the upcoming Paris Olympics and Paralympics.
In preparation for this monumental task, Sodexo Live! consulted with both athletes and nutrition experts to ensure that the menu would be both delicious and nutritious. Renowned French chefs were brought in to add local flair to the offerings, with the goal of providing a taste of home while enjoying expertly crafted global cuisine.
Approximately 1,000 Sodexo Live! staff members worked hard each day, with a total of 6,000 individuals contributing to the massive undertaking. Notably, 15% of these staff members came from disadvantaged communities, showcasing Sodexo Live!’s commitment to providing opportunities to a diverse range of individuals.
Sodexo Live! also made sustainability a priority, implementing measures to reduce the Olympic carbon footprint by a staggering 200% compared to the 2012 London Games. This includes efforts to cut down on single-use plastic and sourcing a majority of the food supply locally, demonstrating the company’s dedication to minimizing the environmental impact.
In an effort to prevent food waste, Paris 2024 has partnered with three associations to collect and redistribute unsold food to local food banks, further emphasizing Sodexo Live!’s dedication to responsible and sustainable practices.
Estelle Lamotte, Sodexo Live! director of Olympic Village, highlighted the company’s commitment to sustainability, stating, “Preventing food waste is one of the pillars of Sodexo Live!’s CSR roadmap because we are committed wholeheartedly to ensuring sustainable experiences with a responsible footprint.”
At the end of the day, whether serving an intimate gathering or providing nourishment to the world’s most elite athletes during one of the biggest sporting events on the planet, Sodexo Live! is dedicated to delivering unparalleled hospitality and service.
With their extensive experience in the culinary world, as well as their unwavering commitment to sustainability and community, Sodexo Live! is well-equipped to ensure that the athletes at the Paris 2024 Olympics and Paralympics will not only be well-fed but will also be treated to an unforgettable and truly exceptional dining experience.
