Sodexo starts electronic recycling drive for employees

Sodexo has partnered with the Coca-Cola Co. and Gazelle, the nation's largest online consumer electronics reCommerce site, to launch a limited-time trade in and recycle program.

From Aug. 31 to Oct. 2., employees at Sodexo-managed B&I and hospital accounts across the country can trade in electronic items for cash or donations to charitable organizations including Habitat for Humanity and Keep America Beautiful. The trade-in program is called Give It Back: Recycle & Everyone Wins!

"With the help of Gazelle and Coca-Cola, Sodexo is proud to bring this new service to customers in our office and hospital cafés throughout the country," said Stephen J. Brady, senior vice president of Sodexo, Inc. and president of the Sodexo Foundation, in a press release. "This program is a good partnership for Sodexo because it encourages thousands of people to engage in a simple act-recycling and trade in-and has a positive impact on our company's commitments to reduce waste, fight hunger, improve the environment and promote community development."
