Taking responsibility for our actions

We take responsibility for our actions, individually and as an organisation, through our Five Pillars of Corporate Responsibility.

Every day, we look to make a positive contribution to the health and well-being of our customers, the communities in which we work, and the world in which we live.

Our people

Our corporate goals start with a focus on great people. Investing in our people through e-learning, training, apprenticeships and NVQs is one of our key priorities.

Sustainable sourcing

We are committed to sourcing all our products and produce from sustainable sources. Compass has recently banned 69 different species of fish from our menus which we feel are not sustainable in the long term.

Wellness and nutrition

Healthy eating is beneficial for the economy, society and individual well-being. Balanced Choices improves nutritional awareness across all our food offerings while Steamplicity has increased our ability to offer quality and nutritious food in the workplace.

Environment

Our environmental targets focus on our energy, waste and water management. We have successfully managed to reduce our food miles by two million through running 30% of our delivery vehicles on bio-diesel.

Community

We recognise and appreciate our responsibilities to the communities in which we work and live. Our Community Investment Programme has helped thousands to reach their potential in education, employment and social inclusion. In addition to our two-year partnership with Cancer Research UK, we also contribute to a large number of UK charities via the Payroll Giving scheme.
