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 Eurest does, you will find Food with Purpose at the core of it. The platform is the foundation of meaningful initiatives we lead, influence and leverage for health and well-being as well as environmental and social change. It encompasses the ingredients we use, the recipes we create and the passion of our people who want to make a difference in the workplace and beyond.
Our chefs and registered dietitian nutritionists across the country work together to integrate wellness and sustainability into everything we do, including our menus programming and culinary philosophy.
We focus on recipes and ingredients that are in-season, responsibly sourced, plant-forward, FIT and loaded with functional foods, as well as ingredient transparency so guests can make informed decisions for their health.
We know where our food and products come from matters. We are committed to supporting local and regional American family farms; ethical sourcing and net zero deforestation; farm animal welfare; sustainable fish and seafood; and diverse partnerships to build a better future for all.
The biggest source of emissions from foodservice ties directly to the food we buy, cook and serve. Our long-term strategy, focused on plant-forward menuing and regenerative agriculture, will improve our planetary impact. We also reduce carbon emissions using metrics from our Carbon Foodprint tool.
As part of Compass Group, we have made a commitment to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions across our global operations and value chain by 2050. We will use our scale and global reach to influence to help create a more sustainable global food system for all.
We focus on resource conservation and waste reduction to lessen our environmental impact. Through our waste reduction efforts, we are minimizing both food and non-food waste.
Food waste is central to some of the key challenges facing the world today, including hunger and poverty, climate change, health and well-being, and the sustainability of agriculture and oceans. We have announced a long-term goal to reduce food waste 50% by 2030, joining the US Food Loss and Waste 2030 group and aligning with United Nation’s waste-reduction agenda. Our commitment stretches from working with suppliers, implementing sustainable practices in our locations and raising awareness of this issue.
Doing the right thing is embedded in our company culture. It empowers us to advocate for change, push for transparency and continually seek ways to become 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.
