Sustainability

We provide great food and support services to millions of people around the world every day. 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.


Our Group-wide Sustainability Strategy guides our approach and ensures that we are investing in a more sustainable future for both Compass and our stakeholders.
