Stop Hunger at the Élysée Palace
Together to Feed the World
In March 2025, Mouna Fassi Daoudi, Global CEO of Stop Hunger, was invited by President Emmanuel Macron to speak at the Élysée Palace during the high-level forum “Together to Feed the World.” The event gathered key actors from business, NGOs, and philanthropy, united in the fight against global food insecurity.Mouna used the opportunity to deliver a clear message: 1 in 10 people still face hunger, even though one-third of global food is wasted. She reminded the audience that access to food is a basic human right, yet it is denied to over 750 million people.
She emphasized the urgent need for mobilization and announced Stop Hunger’s new coalition, uniting Sodexo clients, partners, and allies to drive meaningful action against hunger.
Her message resonated strongly with business leaders: social engagement is not only the right thing to do - it’s a strategic advantage. Purpose-driven companies see up to 59% lower employee turnover, stronger brands, and more engaged teams.
Events like these are vital to Stop Hunger’s advocacy and research, leveraging global platforms to drive awareness, build partnerships, and accelerate change.
