Compass Group

Representation matters. Our workforce must represent the rich diversity of the customers and clients we serve, as well as broader society. We benefit from a myriad of perspectives. 

Everyone in our business should have an equal opportunity to progress in their career. The food services sector is uniquely placed to support people, as one of the widest reaching industries in the country, with their progression whatever level they enter the business. 

Everyone in our organisation will have visibility of a clear pathway for progression and development, helping them advance through the ranks from entry-level to senior management. 

We will look to provide good employment for those from hard-to-reach groups, working with partners such as the DWP, Springboard, the Clink and Care Leaver Covenant.

Recognising the essential role health and nutrition plays in people’s lives, through our education business, we will enhance our engagement with school children and teachers on benefits of nutrition and culinary skills.

We will publish clear annual gender and ethnicity pay gap reports, including a detailed explanation of the actions taken to close the gap year on year. 

While we already pay the real Living Wage to those we directly employ and have Recognised Service Provider status by the Living Wage Foundation , we will also continue to advocate for the living wage across the industry and encourage clients and suppliers to also pay the living wage. In the past 18 months, in partnership with 300 clients over 28,000 employees (in addition to those we directly employ) are now on the real living wage. Going forward, we will track and report on this activity.
