Sustainability
Help us fulfill our vision for a better future.
At Compass Group, we live and breathe sustainability each and every day. Our purpose is to create positive change in the food system through meaningful food experiences that promote wellbeing for people and planet. From our chefs and managers to our dietitians and marketers, each of us is empowered to advocate for change, push for transparency, and continually seek ways to be more socially and environmentally responsible. We collaborate with our clients and embrace tools, programs, and partnerships that provide sustainable solutions.


We cultivate campus gardens, purchase locally, and support the American family farm.

We source proteins from suppliers that promote the humane welfare of animals.

We source foods produced with minimal use or free of chemicals and antibiotics, and source seafood from a sustainable supply chain.

We support campaigns that reward the efforts of farmers and laborers.

We have met our goal that 100% of our contracted seafood is sustainable under Seafood Watch standards.

We’ve made a landmark commitment to reduce food waste by 25% by 2020 through source reduction and food recovery programs.

We are reducing our eco-footprint by implementing recycling programs, diverting waste from landfills, and choosing the right disposables.
