To be a world-class provider of contract food and support services

At Compass Group, we are obsessed about our culture. We care deeply about creating an inclusive environment for our associates, and providing every Compass Group associate an opportunity to develop, learn and succeed. We are proud of the workplace culture we’ve built, and our awards and recognition are proof of the positive impact of our efforts.

We embrace the tremendous power of food, and the opportunity we have to positively impact the lives of our guests, our associates and our communities – on both a local and global level. We are committed to keeping people safe and healthy, whilst creating economic and social value. As part of this, we are clear that our business needs to support not only healthy people, but a healthy planet too.

We are able to deliver world-class service by putting our people first and leading through our purpose. We accelerate our company’s growth by growing our people first, and our growth is driven by the shared belief that Compass Group can deliver the best service while making the greatest impact on the world.

This means being our authentic selves. We are real in who we are and in our interactions, and we are transparent in the relationships we build with people. We are trusted by the people we lead, support, and serve, and strive to connect to others in a true, deep and meaningful way.

We care by energizing those around us. We are passionate about our work, the future and success, and we empower those around us to be successful too. At the end of the day, our stewardship empowers us to leave things better than we found them.

We inspire others to be great by leading with confidence. We are confident in who we are, what we know, and in our ability to get things done. We are committed to excellence in everything we do, while being open to new ideas and embracing experimentation.

To us, leading well means fostering strong collaboration. We build and maintain committed partnerships to achieve results, and collaborate in diverse settings to gain new and different insights. We hold strong opinions, while making space for the opinions of others. We challenge others to strive for the very best, but remain humble in our dealings with others.

We are not afraid to think bolder, bigger and braver, and lean into the feeling of ambiguity without being paralyzed by it. We support others in moving forward with confidence and conviction in the face of change. When faced with disappointment or adversity, we stay resilient, learn from the experience, and march forth.

We remain curious, and always challenge the status quo. We remain objective in our evaluations of people, situations, facts and opinions, and embrace the opportunity to learn from others and from their own mistakes.

We are driven. We are built to move things forward and overcome obstacles. We never lose focus on our objective, and fully committing to seizing the initiative. We are obsessed with growth – working at pace, accelerating the metabolism of people, teams and the organization, while always striving to deliver sustainable performance.

Delivering results starts with accountability. We keep our promises, and get the right things done. We think, plan and execute with a clear head. We use sound judgement – taking the time to be thoughtful and deliberate, while able to act when the time is right. Above all, we are responsible to the people and communities in which we live and work.
