We lead cross industry collaboration

Sodexo UK and Ireland has founded and launched the first-ever Ireland Modern Slavery Council at an event held on Tuesday 29 April at its Ireland headquarters in Dublin.


The Ireland Modern Slavery Council is a cross-industry collaboration bringing together public and private sector organisations to take meaningful action in addressing modern slavery in Ireland. The Council aims to raise awareness, share best practices, and support aligned efforts alongside academia, NGOs, An Garda Síochána, and the Workplace Relations Commission.

We continue to raise awareness by engaging suppliers, colleagues, and stakeholders:

We established our Modern Slavery Strategic Supplier Forum in 2021. Including suppliers of all sizes, we meet every six months to highlight new risks, share best practice and agree common commitments and training needs.

We recognise that addressing Modern Slavery requires collaborative efforts, as its forms evolve and demand ongoing vigilance. Committed to minimising risks, we’re open to forming new partnerships to enhance our impact
