We understand the tremendous impact we can have on healthy living for all which is one of the main drivers of our wellness and sustainability platform, Food with Purpose, designed for the good of people and planet. Whatever Compass One does, you will find Food with Purpose at the core of it. The platform is the foundation of meaningful initiatives we lead and influence and leverage for health and well-being, environmental and social change, the ingredients we use and recipes we create, the passion of our people who want to make a difference in the workplace and beyond.
We create a positive change in the food system for the health and wellbeing of people and planet through Better Nutrition Choices, Reducing Carbon Emissions, Sourcing Sustainably & Diverse Partnerships & Reducing Waste.
Doing the right thing is embedded in our company culture. It empowers us to advocate for change, push for transparency and to continually seek ways to be more socially and environmentally responsible. We collaborate with our clients and give our operators ownership to embrace tools, programs and partnerships that provide them the sustainability solutions needed to drive positive change in the food system.

Food Recovery is an important component of the Stop Food Waste program when complete reduction at the source is not possible. We partner with Eatable, Food Recovery Network and Feeding America to navigate the process to safely recover prepared food and donate fresh, nutritious meals to neighboring organizations. Working with our client and area leaders to help people in need has a positive impact on the health of our communities, while helping us reduce waste and become more efficient as a company.
Through our Food with Purpose portfolio of solutions, our goal is to meet guests’ needs and drive wellness and sustainability into all our operations. With this in mind, we offer multiple ways to meet growing trends and various verticals within the marketplaces we serve.
The Compass One wellness strategy begins with knowing what’s important to you and understanding your guests’ wellness drivers. In addition to your unique client and guest priorities, current research, emerging consumer trends, culinary innovations, marketing techniques and industry insights help create the foundation for a tailored approach.
