Yes. 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). All Village Tea products, Undone chocolates, JAWEA ice cream, vegan shakes are being carried in the NAU eatery.

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
SODEXO operates in more than 1000 colleges and universities in US. ABVG $$$$

[david444]

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.
http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/sw?countrycode=fr

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

CBD Calming Tea and Organic Chai Energy Hemp Infused Tea.
CBD and Hemp Tea - Launch by end of year. Finalizing packaging during past few months. Huge potential with multiple points of distribution.

CEO delivering all projects(one at a time) mentioned during the shareholder conference call. I believe CBD Tea, Hemp Infused Teas will be a reality soon. Just a matter of time!!!! ABVG $$$$

Partnership with Green Roads Wellness to develop CBD and Hemp Teas. Months in making. Initial partnership PR link - http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/village-tea-company-announces-partnership-with-green-roads-wellness-300422531.html

Other excerpts from initial partnership PR from March 2017, packagind done during past few months, launch to happen before end of year 2017:
The two parties intend to leverage their collective experiences to develop a line of products that can be sold through each company's existing channels of distribution, with an emphasis on specialty grocers/retailers, health and wellness and direct to consumer. The Companies are currently working on the initial product line which will consist of a functional loose leaf tea assortment in a variety of blends, formulated to target a few key areas; Focus, Sleep/Relaxation and Energy.

In fact, the Companies are also exploring several ideas that could combine all of these fantastic products to expand into the ready to drink performance and recovery teas and other categories featuring the benefits of Green Roads world-class products.
