SODEXO's 3 year program to integrate SME(Small to medium sized enterprises) into their supply chains:
http://www.sodexousa.com/home/media/news-releases/newsListArea/news-releases/sodexo-recognized-at-2014-clinto.html
Key highlights:
- Sodexo’s Commitment to Action to invest $1 billion in 5,000 small to medium size businesses is projected to generate more than 250,000 jobs over the next three years. (from Sep 2014 news)
- Step 1: The first year of the Commitment to Action will focus on developing local supply chain inclusion program guidelines, including incentives for supply management teams to engage with SMEs, enhanced tracking of SME sourcing and the development of tools and resources along with guidance on streamlining the integration of SMEs into the Sodexo supply chain.
- Step 2: During the second year of Sodexo’s Commitment to Action it will create SME supplier training resources for deployment. The deployment of tools and resources will augment existing programs in 26 countries. It will begin to embed new standard operating procedures that include all the necessary elements for a successful SME program.
- Step 3: Finally in the third year, the new SME program will roll out to 14 additional countries where Sodexo operates.
NAU EAT program is proof that SODEXO deployed it's first eatery with ABVG (Village Tea Company) - can we say SODEXO has completed step #2 with ABVG???
A big company like SODEXO spent 2 years or more with a small OTC company (ABVG / Village Tea company), and entrusted ABVG leadership to lead the EAT program at NAU with all Village Tea Products, Undone Chocolate products and JAWEA ice cream products. A lot of due diligence might have gone into this partnership with ABVG
Rankings:1.Ben & Jerry's 2.Breyers 3.JAWEA.
www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-food/store-bought-vegan-ice-cream/
JAWEA is ranked #3. With more distribution, word of mouth, and exposure through Sodexo, ABVG should get good revenues from JAWEA
Sodexo has over 1000 colleges and universities they deal with. SODEXO – ABVG – EAT program started with Northern Arizona University, and will expand into other colleges that SODEXO has footprint. Definitely more to come for $ABVG
Sodexo is one of the world's largest multinational corporations, with 420,000 employees that represent 130 nationalities and are present on 34,000 sites in 80 countries. For fiscal year 2010 (ending August 2009) revenues reached 15.3 billion euros, with a market capitalization of 6.5 billion euros. Revenues by region represent 38% in North America, 37% in Continental Europe, 8% in the UK and Ireland, and 17% elsewhere. Link - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodexo
- SODEXO SHARE PRICE 104.35 euros.

This is what Village Tea company's CEO has to say about SODEXO's deal:
Martin Ekechukwu, CEO of Village Tea Company (subsidiary of $ABVG) "And to celebrate, today we have signed the biggest contract of our lives with Sodexo where @villageteaco will be distributed nationally and internationally in thousands of food service locations like college campuses, especially HBCU's where we are dedicated to supporting health and wellness trends of people of color, restaurants, bars, hotels, embassies, stadiums, your mom's cabinet and your local bodega's"
Here's the link - https://www.instagram.com/p/BDyGqd1Q6Gb/
Food service has become an increasingly important channel for natural food startups, which Velez says companies like Sodexo view “as the future.” Sodexo in 2014 said it would purchase $1 billion in products and services over three years from small- and medium-sized enterprises; its other small partners include Paleo baked goods company Base Culture, Village Tea Company, and Gavina Coffee Company.
http://fortune.com/2016/10/05/back-to-the-roots-food-service/
In 2010, SODEXO was serving 1 Billion hot beverages, or 10,000 tons of coffee and tea annually. That number would have grown much higher by now(in 7 years).
Just a guess, but if we assume 10% of that 1B hot beverages is tea, we are looking at 100M TEA beverages every year. If ABVG(Village Tea) becomes the tea supplier for SODEXO, we are looking at hundreds of millions in revenues just from SODEXO.
In 2010, Sodexo's Group Marketing Director said in a statement. "At present, we serve nearly one billion hot beverages, or 10,000 tons of coffee and tea annually and we would like to continue develop this offer in the future." http://www.greenbiz.com/news/2010/06/23/sodexo-boosts-green-purchasing-goals-coffee-tea-additions
yes, no dilution today, and no dilution for the past 3-4 weeks. Impatient shareholders are giving it away to (hopefully) stronger hands.
We had two good PRs during the past week. Let's hope, ABVG gets noticed by stronger shareholder groups, and CEO continues to deliver the PRs on a weekly basis. CEO is definitely delivering on what he promised. We will go north, once the dumping by the frustrated shareholder group is done. Too many good things happening. It's just a matter of time before ABVG becomes the talk of ihub. ABVG $$$$
Awesome News!!!! CEO is definitely delivering on what he has promised. Another item ticked off from the 'upcoming catalysts'.
CEO has also listened to the shareholders, and released news pre-market, and within a week of the SODEXO EAT launch news in NAU.
The share price today doesn't reflect the potential of today's news, but I believe it's a matter of time. This will be noticed by other groups on ihub, and will be picked up by other investors/traders.
Great work by the CEO, he just have to continue releasing weekly news. There's still so many upcoming catalysts.
CEO is ticking off the milestones, as promised. There is no dilution for the past 3 weeks or so. As the CEO releases news on a regular basis(weekly or once in 10 days). ABVG will get noticed by the investment community, and we would see an increase in share price.
Shareholders need to exercise patience, CEO should release periodic news(weekly or once in 10 days). We are all one Team - ABVG. Should be a win-win for both of us. Also looking forward to the big (or life changer news according to CEO) news. Hoping for the best.
The ball is in CEO's court.

Yes, Great News. Many shareholders have accumulated during the past few weeks/months. Many of us already know about Sodexo's partnership with ABVG, and the EAT launch.
IMO, we need new shareholders to take positions in ABVG. It's just a matter of time. I bet other groups will see the value in ABVG, and join very soon, and take ABVG to higher levels. I believe patience will be rewarded with ABVG.
There are many catalysts to look forward to in the near future. If CEO can release regular PRs on the catalysts, sooner or later ABVG will go to higher levels. Add to it the big news that CEO is referring to.... Good times ahead. ABVG $$$$

The stock market is a device for transfering money from the impatient to the patient - Warren Buffet
ABVG will have a big run, it's just a matter of 'when'. Once the CEO starts releasing the PRs, ABVG will graduate to higher levels.
There's documented confirmation about ABVG partnership with SODEXO, Northern Arizona University, JAWEA, Florida Panthers to mention a few. Undone Chocolate, Carnival Cruise, MJ foray, CBD Tea, Hemp infused chocolate bars, partnership with hotel chains - so much of real stuff is happening for ABVG. Exposure into 250+ retail stores, whole foods, and other retail chains, distributors.
I don't think there is any other trip stock that has so much going on, and real confirmed partnerships with well established companies etc.
Once the CEO starts to unleash NEWS one after another, ABVG shall have a great run into pennies & beyond, during the next few months

Yes, great day today!! Nice consolidation on 4's. Really looking forward to the upcoming PRs:
- SODEXO EAT launch
- JAWEA acquisition
- launch of Florida Panthers On the Move partnership
- Launch + availability of Hemp infused Teas/chocolate bars
- confirmed partnership with Carnival etc.
Ofcourse, the Home run definitely would be a buy-out from SODEXO, or Village Tea being the exclusive provider of Tea for all SODEXO accounts(colleges, universities, hospitals etc.) in US.
If executed well, I believe ABVG can easily go into pennies and beyond, without the home run. With the home run, there's no limit :)
ABVG $$$$
Agreed!! Instead of sharing profits with another Tea supplier, it would make sense for Sodexo to keep all profits to itself.
Based on data in 2010, Sodexo is serving nearly one billion hot beverages, or 10,000 tons of coffee and tea annually. link
Popularity of Tea is growing within the younger generation, and it would make perfect sense for Sodexo to keep the supplier part in-house.
Spending, let's say, $100M for ABVG is really peanuts for Sodexo that has $16 Billion euros in annual revenue. And they are looking at making hundreds of millions in revenues annually. Win-Win. Hope that it works out !!!
In 2010, SODEXO was serving 1 Billion hot beverages, or 10,000 tons of coffee and tea annually. That number would have grown much higher by now(in 7 years).
Just a guess, but if we assume 10% of that 1B hot beverages is tea, we are looking at 100M hot beverages every year. If ABVG(Village Tea) becomes the tea supplier for SODEXO, we are looking at hundreds of millions in revenues just from SODEXO. Hoping for the best, and NAU EAT program's success!!!
In 2010, Sodexo's Group Marketing Director said in a statement. "At present, we serve nearly one billion hot beverages, or 10,000 tons of coffee and tea annually and we would like to continue develop this offer in the future." link
yes, accumulation, macd cross, coupled with the NAU EAT launch + news pipeline + no dilution - perfect storm brewing!!! On to greener pastures!! $ABVG
second that!! Great job TBL for #bootsonground, the pics and videos of eatery store at Northern Arizona University as part of SODEXO's EAT program.
It's just a matter of time before ABVG goes to higher levels.
ABVG - diamond in the rough. Lots of people appear to be sitting on the sidelines. I guess there will be a lot of chasing in a few days!!!
Fantastic Chart!!! Accumulation going UP!!! MACD about to flip. Thanks Money!!
Chartists will be all over this in a day or two.
ABVG had a solid day. No dilution for the past 3-4 days. Based on one poster's conversation with CEO, there won't be any dilution for rest of 2017.
With the NAU EAT launch, and many NEWS in the pipeline, we are looking towards a nice uptrend in the coming days/weeks/months!!! $ABVG
Martin Ekechukwu, CEO of Village Tea Company (subsidiary of $ABVG) "And to celebrate, today we have signed the biggest contract of our lives with Sodexo where @villageteaco will be distributed nationally and internationally in thousands of food service locations like college campuses, especially HBCU's where we are dedicated to supporting health and wellness trends of people of color, restaurants, bars, hotels, embassies, stadiums, your mom's cabinet and your local bodega's"
Yes, I believe all products in the NAU eatery belong to ABVG. ABVG is the exclusive supplier for this eatery by SODEXO. Looking at revenue from lots of products from this eatery.
SODEXO has More than 850 colleges and universities they deal with. Remember, Sodexo in 2014 said it would purchase $1 billion in products and services over three years from small- and medium-sized enterprises; its other small partners include Paleo baked goods company Base Culture, Village Tea Company, and Gavina Coffee Company.
$ABVG
Thanks TBL. Sounds great. $ABVG
Safe travels TBL. And Thank You for what you are doing here. Appreciate it.
One more thought - can you look at getting a video review/testimonial from one of the students ?? What do they feel about the display , the choices, what do they like best etc.
Nice, that's great to know. Adds further validation to ABVG's strategy.
Why college students should drink tea
There is a popular Japanese proverb that states, “If man has no tea in him, he is incapable of understanding truth and beauty.” Science has not actually proven this to be the case. But it has proven that tea can both relax and rouse its drinkers — which might actually make it easier to see the beauty in things. So if you don’t drink tea, you won’t necessarily be miserable — just not as happy as you could be!
Tea is a staple in many different cultures. All of them have experimented in various ways to create teas that taste better and/or have more useful medicinal properties. The over 3,000 varieties of tea in the world can be divided into five basic categories: black, green, oolong, white, and puer. This large array has enabled tea to become the second most widely consumed beverage in the world after water. This comes as no surprise: with so many types of teas available, how could you not like at least one of them? (Tea haters: don’t answer that.)
The characteristic of tea that may be of most use to you, the college student, is its capability of providing an energy boost to get you through the day. Many types of tea contain caffeine, a well-known stimulant that reduces drowsiness. Although caffeine was made popular by its role as the most important factor in the multi-billion dollar coffee industry, the stimulant is also a major ingredient in many teas. Although even the darkest teas do not contain as much caffeine as regular coffee, tea has many other things to offer. If the only attribute that tea had to bring to the table was caffeine, there would be no point in writing (or reading) this article.
Caffeine is not all tea has to offer in terms of health benefits. Tea, which I like to call coffee 2.0, not only keeps you awake and doesn’t stain your teeth, but also improves your body’s functioning in several ways. The most amazing thing about tea is that it gives its drinkers both an energy boost and a surge of relaxation at the same time. This sense of relaxation is provided by the chemical Theanine, which acts as an anti-stimulant and alleviates stress and tension. What makes Theanine especially amazing is that it does not negate the mental stimulation caused by caffeine, but complements it instead. This mix of caffeine and Theanine is what makes tea so special. Drinkers can feel mental clarity, focus, and alertness all at once — sensations that never fail to make everyday tasks much more manageable.
Theanine works by boosting the production of GABA, an amino acid that acts as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Huffington Post writer and naturopathic doctor Natasha Turner writes that just like meditation, Theanine “stimulates alpha brainwaves naturally associated with deep states of relaxation and enhanced mental clarity.” She also mentions, “Theanine may increase learning, attention and sensations of pleasure as well.” I know that most Yalies are interested in increasing all three of those things, which is why I’m baffled that a lot of them still choose to drink coffee instead of tea.
Boosting learning, attention, and pleasure in one drink seems like enough, but tea still has more to offer. The attribute that tea is most well known for is effectiveness against the common cold and the flu. However, certain teas do a better job against these sicknesses than others. The three types of commonly found teas very effective against flus and colds are Green tea, Peppermint tea, and Ginger tea. All three are successful at soothing your throat as well as lending your immune system a hand in getting rid of the sickness.
Jack Bukowski, an immunologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital as well as Harvard Medical School, compared the effects of coffee versus tea on the immune systems of non-tea drinkers. He found that drinking tea significantly boosts the body’s production of an antibacterial substance that helps fight infection, whereas coffee does not. Tea is able to boost the immune system because it contains a chemical called alkylamine, which helps prepare the immune system’s T cells so that they can detect and destroy bacteria faster.
Most people, however, do not use teas to their full potentials. To maximize a tea’s sickness-fighting capabilities, it is best to squeeze some fresh lemons into it in order to increase your intake of vitamin C. You can go one step further and even substitute honey for sugar. Using honey instead not only makes little or no difference in the taste of the tea, but honey also has antibacterial and soothing properties that make it easier to get healthy quicker. Have you ever been in a huge lecture hall, ready to soak up all of the goodness your professor has to offer, but cannot because it is cold outside and there seems to be a coughing fit starting somewhere in the room every twenty seconds? I argue that if more Yale students embraced tea, this would not happen nearly as often.
So that’s my guide to tea. I hope you learned something and have a tearrific day (pun intended).

Great job TBL, and Nice DD!! ABVG has lot of projects going on. Lot of revenue streams, partnerships with big companies, products in retail stores like Whole Foods, partnerships with well known distributors and many more .....
There's also mention of many other initiatives in the kickstarter material. If CEO can release the PRs one after another, this can go to pennies and beyond. Add in any other Pleasant surprises, and who knows, we may be looking at silver in the coming months. Go ABVG
Thank You TBL for taking the time to visit NAU. Look forward to it
Well said TBL. Repeating from your post - Sodexo did it’s homework before they decided to take on this endeavor. $ABVG
Sodexo is a multi-billion dollar company, partnering with ABVG to open a eatery that's carrying many products from ABVG at Northern Arizona University.
Sodexo is one of the world's largest multinational corporations, with 420,000 employees that represent 130 nationalities and are present on 34,000 sites in 80 countries. For fiscal year 2010 (ending August 2009) revenues reached 15.3 billion euros, with a market capitalization of 6.5 billion euros. Revenues by region represent 38% in North America, 37% in Continental Europe, 8% in the UK and Ireland, and 17% elsewhere. Link - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodexo
- SODEXO SHARE PRICE 104.35 euros.
http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/sw?countrycode=fr
Upcoming catalysts: CEO has completed two of the slated 11 catalysts. Slowly but surely, ABVG is destined to reach pennies and beyond.
1. Q2 financials (DONE - Oct 1st week).
2. Launch of EAT program with SODEXO in Northern Arizona University - slated to open between Oct 23 - Oct 25. Sodexo is one of the world's largest multinational corporations, with 420,000 employees that represent 130 nationalities and are present on 34,000 sites in 80 countries.

- Launch timeline confirmation - Whale1911 poster conversation with CEO - https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=134781366
3. Partnership with Florida Panthers national hockey team. Launch in 5 or 10 'On the Move' stores. Promotional radio spot ready. Was earlier slated to start in september. Likely to start any time.
4. Ecommerce platform with Amazon to launch in October. DONE - Oct 16
5. Launch of brick and Mortar stores
6. CBD and Hemp Tea - Launch by end of year. Finalizing packaging during past few months. Huge potential with multiple points of distribution.
7. Partnership and launch with a major hotel group/chain - October/November
8. Signed LOI with JAWEA in September. Expecting acquisition news anytime.
9. Integrate undone chocolate products with Sodexo's EAT program, Ecommerce platform with Amazon, major hotel group partnerhip, Florida panthers partnership, and brick and mortar stores - all happening during the next few months.
10. Approved vendor for Carnival Cruise. Submitted bids for additional programs and products.
11. Craft beer, Hemp beer
ABVG - a lot in the pipeline, on to higher levels. It's just a matter of time before we see ABVG in pennies and beyond. IMO, we will see official PRs on the above NEWS in the coming weeks. ABVG destined to go to higher levels.
Yes, great news, ABVG confirming SODEXO partnership in the PR!!
Relaunch of ecommerce platform provides another stream of revenue for ABVG. Just in time for the holidays.
ABVG should start the uptrend in share price from tomorrow. Severely undervalued. I would say an undiscovered gem.
This is great, but we really need the PRs now. There is lot of confirmation all around the place, about ABVG partnership with SODEXO, JAWEA, Florida Panthers, Carnival Cruise etc. But IMO, without PRs, it will be just the few of us talking about the great stuff that ABVG is doing. We had lot of momentum, and I guess lot of people are waiting on the sidelines. ABVG has a great story, has the potential to go to pennies and beyond. But, Someone needs to communicate to the CEO about the importance of PRs. Updates on social media would reach only the existing share holder base. It's a great time to load though. Hope CEO starts unleashing the many news through a series of PRs starting next week,
ABVG will have a big run, it's just a matter of 'when'. Once the CEO starts releasing the PRs, ABVG will graduate to higher levels.
There's documented confirmation about ABVG partnership with SODEXO, Northern Arizona University, JAWEA, Florida Panthers to mention a few. Undone Chocolate, Carnival Cruise, MJ foray, partnership with hotel chains - so much of real stuff is happening for ABVG. Exposure into 250+ retail stores, whole foods, and other retail chains, distributors.
I don't think there is any other trip stock that has so much going on, and real confirmed partnerships with well established companies etc.
I hope the CEO starts to unleash NEWS one after another, and ABVG can have a great run into pennies & beyond, during the next few months.
Great news. ABVG current now. I guess the PRs would start this week. Looking forward
Yes, Sodexo has over 850 colleges and universities they deal with. SODEXO – ABVG – EAT program is starting with Northern Arizona University, and will be expanding into other colleges that SODEXO has footprint. Definitely more to come for $ABVG

Yes, ABVG setup for huge success!! Don't forget the MJ partnership with GreenRoads Wellness - pharmaceutical grade Hemp oil blended Tea. Packaging done and tested during the past few months. To be launched before end of year, according to CEO in shareholder conference call. ABVG Hemp blended Tea products will focus on 4 key areas, sleep, focus energy and pain management.
Great to see the financials out!! On to higher levels shortly $ABVG
Agreed. Yesterday and today saw huge loading without any news. Some one or a fund with big dollars betting on APHD. Good for APHD for the next move. Acquisition news must be close
