Sodexo SA: Sodexo awarded a significant contract with Santos, cementing its market-leading position in Australia's energy and resources sector

Issy-les-Moulineaux, March 5, 2025

Sodexo in Australia has been awarded a large five-year contract with Santos, the largest supplier of natural gas in Australia.

This new contract will significantly increase Sodexo's business in Australia and enhance its geographical footprint. Under this contract, Sodexo will provide services across Santos' operations from Queensland to South Australia and Western Australia.

Over the past four years, as part of its active portfolio management strategy, Sodexo has continually honed its offering in the Australian energy and resources sector.

Sodexo Australia Managing Director Keith Weston said: "We thank Santos for selecting Sodexo as their partner for the future. For over 25 years, we have serviced the Australian energy and resources sector with a spirit of innovation and exceptional service. This award follows from a strong period of contract growth for Sodexo, further expands our presence in Australia's eastern states, and highlights our unwavering commitment to the industry."

This contract includes the provision of accommodation management, housekeeping, catering and hospitality, aerodrome management, facilities maintenance and health & wellness services for 25 camps, 3,500 rooms and an average occupancy of 2,000 residents. Through its services, Sodexo is transforming the daily lives of Santos's workforce with innovative food offers, fitness facilities and wellness coaching that promote health and well-being. Sodexo also provides a resident app that connects users to camp activities, dining, and work requests, offering real-time visibility into service delivery.

The contract's scope will support more than 500 jobs at Sodexo, offering a valuable opportunity for people, as well as adjacent businesses across Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia, delivering lasting benefits to the local communities.

The mobilisation of this contract involves the transition of 25 camps to Sodexo. The process began in December with the handover of Varanus Island and Devil Creek camps in Western Australia. All camps and services are expected to be mobilised by June 2025.
