Sodexo (PARIS:SW) (OTCBB:SDXAY), world leader in Quality of Daily Life solutions, and Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG), won the prestigious EuroFM Award in the "Partners Across Borders" category.
The award recognizes excellence in delivering facilities management services across Europe. Members from Sodexo and P&G attended the awards ceremony held during the European Facilities Management Conference in Madrid on June 1-2.
To select the winners, the EuroFM jury took into consideration:
- The partnership between a corporate client and service provider
- The achievement of the partnership towards agreed goals
- The innovation introduced to deliver facilities management consistently and effectively across European boundaries
Following a site visit organized as part of the evaluation process one judge commented:
"Not only was the relationship working well at all levels in the partnership, but you could see that P&G had learnt they could rely on their Sodexo counterpart and this now meant that Sodexo were being asked to provide support in the production process - a very good sign of a growing relationship."
Starting in 2004, Sodexo and P&G worked together to improve plant management within several P&G's manufacturing sites in Europe which lead to a Europe-wide agreement. The partnership has been extended to North and South America as well as to a number of Asian countries, for a total of a fifty sites.
