The Foundation provides grants to non-profit organisations in countries where Compass Group operates. Its priorities are to create inclusive job opportunities, empower local suppliers and to provide urgent support in the case of global emergencies.
In 2022, the Foundation’s first action was to donate £250,000 to the Disaster Emergency Committee in support of the Ukraine humanitarian emergency.
In response to the earthquake that hit southern Türkiye and northern Syria in February 2023, the Foundation provided a grant that contributed towards the creation of temporary accommodation during the recovery and rebuilding phase.
Robin Mills, chair of the Compass Group Foundation, said: “I am incredibly proud to see the positive social and environmental impact that Compass Group is driving on a global scale for local communities. None of this impact would have been possible without the dedication of our colleagues who have contributed their time and expertise to partner with the charities we support.
“As we look ahead, we are excited to work with and support even more non-profit organisations that share our vision of a more sustainable and equitable world. We believe that by leveraging the resources, networks and influence of Compass’ businesses, we can make a positive difference to the lives of people in the communities where the Group operates.”
