Sodexo Canada and Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital have signed a new five-year agreement for a range of integrated management services.

The companies have been partners for more than 30 years during which Sodexo has provided the hospital with foodservice and environmental services such as cleaning and disinfection.

Sodexo and Holland Bloorview worked closely together over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic to introduce enhanced cleaning procedures and protocols at the hospital. Sodexo also supported the facility’s frontline healthcare workers and building employees with a program called “Grocery to Go” through which the company provided meal and grocery options for staff to purchase during shifts.

“Looking back at our history, we are proud to celebrate our 31 years together and very much look forward to five more,” said Bohodar Rubashewsky, vice president – people, corporate innovation and services at Holland Bloorview, in an announcement of the new Sodexo agreement. “The Sodexo Canada team is an extension of ours and we look forward to building on the strength of this partnership and the opportunity to co-create more successful examples of program, service, and care innovation.”

In 2018, Sodexo Canada was honoured by WEConnect International for its commitment to diversity, inclusion, and gender equality. The award is presented to a corporation that has demonstrated exemplary support for the inclusion of women-owned businesses in their supply chains and innovative approaches to creating new opportunities for inclusion in Canada.
