Benefit solution for environmentally friendly employee mobility: Sodexo announces partnership with ummadum
Sodexo, Europe’s leading provider of employee benefits, is expanding its product portfolio with ummadum’s sustainable mobility solution for employees. Through the cooperation, companies in Germany and Austria can easily issue digital mobility vouchers as an incentive for an environmentally friendly way to work. In addition, Sodexo supports companies with ummadum in implementing the requirements of the EU taxonomy.
The leading voucher and benefit provider Sodexo announces its cooperation with ummadum and expands its service portfolio with digital mobility vouchers.
With the ummadum platform, companies can now specifically promote the environmentally friendly mobility of their employees. This is also necessary because the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) passed by the EU Parliament in November will soon oblige companies with more than 250 employees to also submit a sustainability report in their annual reports. This will initially affect around 15,000 companies in Germany, where around half of all employees subject to social security contributions work. It is all the more important for companies to rely on innovative, digital solutions now.
“The last few years have been marked by many major challenges for companies – and these will continue to increase in 2023. Innovative technologies are the only way to master them. With ummadum we offer companies the chance to be prepared for the taxonomic and economic challenges. That’s good for companies and good for the environment.” Andreas Sticha, CEO Sodexo BRS Austria & Germany.
Whether by bike, on foot, in public transport (public transport) or in a carpool – companies can grant the ummadum app users targeted digital mobility vouchers for a sustainable way to work: “In Germany, the average commuter causes approx. 1t of CO2 on the way to work. Many Companies are not even aware of how high the Scope 3 emissions are or how the company’s CO2 balance can be improved in the long term. We have developed the ummadum platform for this purpose,” adds René Schader, CEO of ummadum.
ummadum and Sodexo: additional services for companies and employees
Sodexo already supports companies with a wide range of benefits solutions and vouchers in the areas of catering, appreciation and recognition and when it comes to health promotion and the compatibility of family and work. Therefore, the environmentally friendly benefits solution for sustainable mobility is an optimal supplement with great benefits for employers and employees. Because everyone benefits from sustainable corporate mobility management: A real-time CO2 saver in the company dashboard shows CO2 savings on a daily basis and provides transparent monthly reporting. Proper documentation is a CSR success factor for the sustainability reporting that will be mandatory from 2023.

Cleverly compensate for inflation and set environmentally friendly climate impulses
The new offer is not only extremely beneficial for the climate, but also helps to cleverly compensate for inflation. Due to the exploding energy prices, commuting to work has become more expensive. Here, too, countermeasures can be taken with the solution from ummadum and Sodexo: travel costs are efficiently reduced and at the same time companies come closer to their environmental goals. This also gives companies an attractive advantage with regard to employer branding and recruiting.
