Question 17956 — employment and activity

Summary

Ms. Claire Marais-Beuil alerts the Minister of Labor and Solidarity about the Sodexo company reorganization plan. In fact, the company announced this reorganization plan on August 26, 2026, resulting in the elimination of 963 jobs in France. This decision directly threatens 122 employees in the Sodexo subsidiary, La Sagere de Bresles, in the MP's constituency. La Sagere is a central cuisine in the Oise which delivers to businesses, school canteens and local authorities throughout the Hauts-de-France region, such as in Saint-Quentin and Amiens. The unions fear the closure of the site in the event of no buyer, and local elected officials are worried about the area. Closing the site would be a disaster for families and the local economy. The company has experienced a constrained standards environment since several years with changes in the weight of meals or the “Egalim” law which causes a drop in margins linked to criteria such as the Red Label or even products from organic production, this adding to a drop in orders producing numerous losses due to the company's difficulty in adapting. In the press, notably the daily Courrier Picard of September 2, 2026 with the article “ Job cuts at Sodexo: 122 employees in the hot seat”, management sticks to declarations which remain within the legal framework. However, the company does not wish to comment on the potential consequences of the project. It is clear that these consequences are of crucial importance for the future of the local economy and the situation of the many families affected by the job losses. In a context war economy in which all energy and fuel costs increase and in a context of heat waves which cause an increase in food costs, such a large number of layoffs is unheard of. There is also a need for visibility on the consequences of the standards imposed on companies, particularly concerning food, since this has repercussions on the notebooks charges from local authorities and on orders. Thus, the MP asks the Minister for his position on the reorganization plan for the Sodexo company. She asks him what the Government intends to do to save jobs and if it has started negotiations with the company. She also asks him for an assessment of the application and consequences of the “Egalim” law in order to calculate the impact of this regulations on the companies concerned.
