Compass Group UK & Ireland announces commitment to reach Climate Net Zero by 2030

  • We recognise that we are in a climate emergency and will reflect this urgency in our food system transformation. We will commit to making our Net Zero ambition a business priority and a key indicator of how we are performing.

  • The climate emergency is the biggest challenge of our lifetime.

    That is why Compass Group UK & Ireland is calling for a food revolution to fight for our planet. As part of the world's largest food services company, our size and scale enable us to have a transformative influence on the global food supply. We want to work with our partners to improve our business and be a catalyst for wider change. Our target is to reach Net Zero emissions by 2030 in the right way, whilst remaining dedicated to helping people live healthier, happier and more productive lives.

  • We will adopt short to medium term science-based targets to help achieve the goal of a Net Zero performance by 2030, in line with the recommendations set out in the Paris Agreement.
