We take responsibility for our actions, individually and as a group. Every day, everywhere, we look to make a positive contribution to the health and wellbeing of our customers, the communities we work in and the world we live in.

CAN-DO SAFELY

We take a positive and commercially aware ‘can-do’ approach to the opportunities and challenges we face.

Responsible Actions

Across our Compass Group Australia organisation we understand that great food, great service and great experiences have the power to transform our day. Because of this our amazing people work hard to create these outstanding dining and hospitality experiences, to fuel the nation’s workforce, to deliver memorable events and support many thousands of schoolchildren, patients and military personnel.

We have the opportunity to enhance the wellbeing of millions and deliver services to make everyone’s day that little bit brighter. Additionally, we are committed to doing all of this responsibly.

As leaders in the food and services industry we are committed to ensuring our business decisions are ethical and reflect the standards that our customers, shareholders and employees expect of a global organisation.

We are committed to setting the highest standards for responsible business practice, which are underpinned by a global framework of policies and measures. These are implicit in our Code of Business Conduct (also available in other languages here), Human Rights Policy and our Modern Day Slavery Statement (submitted and is under review by the Attorney General’s Department), Vendor Quality Assurance Protocol and our Business Integrity Policy.

Compass Group Australia’s policies establish a clear framework setting out the standards we expect. Further supported by comprehensive communications and training which has been designed to ensure that processes and practices within each of our operating units fully comply with local legislation as the minimum requirement and with Group policies.

Our global focus on human rights and the eradication of Modern Slavery place both our own people and those employed across our domestic and international supply chains at the heart of who we are at Compass Group. Equally, everyone deserves to be treated fairly and with respect in the workplace. As such we empower our people to speak up via our Speak Up We’re Listening Portal if they see something that isn’t right, aligned to our Speak and Listen Up policy. Our SpeakUp facility is anonymous and confidential.
