Culture of Sustainability

At Canteen, our company culture centers on one seemingly basic idea – doing the right thing. This simple notion empowers us to advocate for change, push for transparency and continually seek ways to be more socially and environmentally responsible. We aim to deliver solutions that meet our clients’ sustainability and wellness goals by creating environments that encourage well-being for people and planet. Our sustainability platform is made up of three pillars: Environmental Game Changers, Better For The World, and Health And Wellness.

Environmental Game Changers

Thirty-three percent of all food produced globally is wasted every year. That’s why Compass Group – with some of the most influential companies and celebrity chefs – is rallying millions of consumers to accelerate the fight against food waste with Stop Food Waste Day.

Better For The World

When we envision the break room of the future, we envision it green – a collaborative and inviting space that uses minimal energy and creates drastically less landfill-bound waste than today’s break room. That means Energy Star-rated equipment, sustainable disposables, bulk food and beverage options, sustainably certified coffee and locally sourced ingredients.

In addition, we collaborate with our vendor partners from production to distribution to reduce waste before it enters the break room.

Health and Wellness

As Compass Group’s platform
for communicating wellness and sustainability information, initiatives and big wins, Eat. Live. Do. Well is
all about creating meaningful food experiences that promote well-being for people and planet. From all things nutrition to food waste, our chefs, registered dietitians and sustainability experts share information and resources you can use anywhere.
