At Compass Group, we put people first. That’s why a strong safety culture is the foundation of a sustainable working life.
With a clear Safety First focus, we prioritize health, safety, and well-being—both physically and mentally. Because no task is more important than ensuring our employees return home safely every single day.
In the 2024/25 financial year, we conducted more than 800 Safety Walks across our canteens, cleaning sites, and other services. That’s a sevenfold increase from the previous year and a clear demonstration of our ongoing focus on the working environment and accident prevention.
A Safety Walk is a structured dialogue between management and local teams, focusing on everyday safety. We discuss specific observations, risks, and improvements, creating shared awareness of how we prevent accidents.
Safety Walks are an important part of our systematic follow-up on safety and well-being.
As Head of Safety and Work Environment, Sara Saugstrup, says:
“Safety Walks strengthen our safety culture by ensuring we talk about safety continuously. A strong culture starts with awareness and consistent leadership focus. The goal is clear: Everyone should return home safely—every day.”
