BASF has awarded Sodexo a two year extension to its soft and hard FM services contract for six sites in the UK and Ireland including its UK head office in Stockport.
Sodexo has delivered services to BASF for over 30 years, and since 2014 Sodexo has been delivering full IFM services at 6 BASF sites in the UK and Ireland. The two organisations share a similar set of corporate values and commitment to corporate responsibility and work together to drive real improvements to people’s lives, to communities and to the planet.
BASF is one of the world’s largest chemical companies, supplying raw materials to most industries including agriculture, automotive, chemicals, construction, energy and pharmaceuticals. The company employs some 800 people in the UK and Ireland.
Sodexo delivers environmental, health and safety (EHS) services, technical and maintenance services, cleaning, security, reception and visitor management as well as remote maintenance at a number of the sites.
Julie Ennis, CEO corporate services, Sodexo UK & Ireland said: “We have a long-standing partnership with BASF here in the UK and Ireland. With similar corporate values on treating those we employ with respect, a commitment to ensuring our businesses have a positive impact on local communities, and a strategy to limit the impact our operations have on the planet.
