We take responsibility for our impact on the environment and the people in our communities, through
our five pillars of corporate responsibility.
Our people
Investing in the development of our people is essential for innovation
and employee satisfaction.
Wellness and nutrition
Healthy eating is good for the economy, society and individual well-being.
Environment
We aim to reduce our impact on the environment by addressing
climate change, carbon emissions and waste management.
Sustainable sourcing
Both our produce and products are always sourced from our approved
suppliers and are fully traceable.
Community
Our community investment programme has helped
thousands to reach their potential in education, employment and
social inclusion.

priorities and Compass-driven themes, but with layers at sector level.
