Overview

Compass Group makes a concerted effort to seek and select suppliers that reflect the diversity of the communities we serve.

Approach

Our supplier diversity program is dedicated to:

• Increasing the number of diverse suppliers that provide our customers and units with goods and services.
• Helping minority- and women-owned suppliers understand the requirements to become nominated suppliers for Compass Group.
• Ensuring that minority- and women-owned businesses are treated fairly in the qualification, proposal and contracting processes.
• Acting as a champion for diverse suppliers in the foodservice industry.
