Like many listed companies, Compass’ CR performance is rated by independent organisations that assess the extent to which companies effectively manage social, environmental and ethical matters.
Since 2005, we have continued to be a member of the UK’s FTSE4Good Index Series following its Policy Committee’s decision that we had met the criteria for inclusion in the Index.
As a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact since June 2004, we are also committed to taking action to support and uphold each of the principles it describes in relation to business integrity, human rights and the environment.
In the 2008 Dow Jones Sustainability Index, we were delighted to have achieved the highest score reached by a company in our industry for a number of the criteria assessed, including risk and crisis management; food safety and operational eco-efficiency. The assessment also recommended that we improve upon our quantitative reporting in some areas, such as environmental reporting, which we are addressing in readiness for our 2009 CR Report.
