Restructuring events
European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
Sodexo, a French food catering services group, has announced the elimination of up to 1,097 positions in France. About half of the affected posts are located in the Île-de-France region (Issy-les-Moulineaux), with the remainder spread across the rest of France.
The restructuring follows Sodexo's new strategic plan, Shift and Grow 2030, presented in mid-July. The company aims to streamline operations and adapt to evolving market demand. The job losses are being carried out through a PSE (Plan de sauvegarde de l'emploi) process, which began on 26 August 2026. The full plan is expected to be completed later in the year.
Previously, Sodexo was previously recorded in the ERM database in 2020, for 2,183 job cuts. Sodexo 2020 - FR
