Our Pillars
Knowing where our business can have the biggest impact alongside industry trends, and taking account of what matters most to our stakeholders is important to us. Underpinned by the topics of Safety and People, our sustainability strategy focuses on three key pillars, in which we know we can make the greatest impact:
Health and Wellbeing
Staying healthy in both mind and body has never been more important. We continue to focus on providing better nutritional choices and supporting mental health and wellbeing through various initiatives.
Environmental Game Changers
We are taking action to address our impact on the planet, including reducing food waste, problematic single use plastic packaging, and increasing plant-based options in our menus.
Better for the World
We are creating more resilience in our supply chain, focusing on responsible and sustainable sourcing, enriching local communities in which we operate, and collaborating with external partners to maximize our positive impact.
Our Climate Commitment
At Compass, we have made it our mission to create a significant, meaningful, and positive impact on the environment. The actions we take at both a broader organizational and a unit level, all contribute to the larger global objective of making a real difference. This is a clear priority, not only for Compass, but for our clients and guests as well. Our actions contribute to a more sustainable food supply; supporting the health of our guests and that of our planet.
