We inspire with new taste sensations, and our kitchens embrace organic, local, and seasonal ingredients, carefully selecting our suppliers.
Our canteen solutions are always tailored to meet each company’s food preferences and schedules, without compromising on our commitment to providing excellent dining experiences that also consider climate and biodiversity.
Responsible canteen operations
We have high standards for how we operate a responsible canteen business, where we act with care and respect for the future. That’s why we focus on sustainable initiatives and work to reduce food waste every day. We have developed our own Climate Chef training program, where we educate climate ambassadors for all our canteens. We incorporate official climate dietary guidelines into our work, and we prioritize meals that are healthy and nourishing. Choosing us as your canteen provider can support your company’s own sustainability journey.
Local and seasonal
The best flavor experiences and most sustainable meals are achieved when using fresh Danish organic ingredients that are in season. We carefully select our suppliers to trace the supply chain and measure the CO2 footprint of our ingredients.
In collaboration with our produce supplier, we have developed a green calendar with our own definition of seasons. We call it The 7 Green Springs, as we let the cycle of ingredients define these seasons in seven phases, rather than the traditional division into four seasons.
Additionally, we have developed The 7 Blue Waves to facilitate navigating the season’s choices of fish. We have also established guidelines for purchasing seafood as part of our commitment to sustainable fisheries and aquaculture.
Close partnership on sustainability goals
We always listen to our customers’ needs and engage in close collaborations on sustainability development plans and assortment. We understand that our customers are at different stages in their sustainability journeys, with goals related to meat reduction, plant-based meals, food waste reduction, and incorporating more legumes.
We are ready to further develop our data solutions to support innovative actions that can help our customers achieve their desired objectives. Together, we aim to reach ambitious goals for a greener future.
The Organic Cuisine Labels
We collaborate with our customers to achieve the Organic Cuisine Label, which indicates the percentage of purchased food and beverages that are organic. Organic foods support sustainable agricultural practices, limit the use of chemical pesticides and artificial fertilizers, and prioritize animal welfare. This ensures that products are produced with a focus on environmental sustainability and health.
In 2023, we achieved a total of 206 food labels with an organic percentage of 37.90%.
The canteen of the future
It is possible to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 60% in our canteens by following the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration’s climate dietary guidelines. This was demonstrated in our 2023 pilot project.
Innovation and digital reporting
Green reporting, shared goals, and evaluation are crucial in our partnership with our customers. As a customer, you will have access to your own dashboard with the KPIs we identify as relevant together. Based on data from Concito’s climate database, you can track the CO2 footprint for a single day, week, or month.
Our Food Excellence team & Gastronomy team
We have dedicated teams in place to ensure a high professional and gastronomic standard in our canteens. They have developed a comprehensive universe for our kitchen staff, featuring useful tools, videos, and recipes that support green cooking and seasonal ingredients.
Our Food Excellence team is also responsible for developing our own training courses for kitchen staff, such as baking or legume courses, Climate Chef training, and educational days in our kitchens. Additionally, we offer external courses to ensure we are always updated on the latest trends and innovations.
People at the center of a great service experience
Our employees are the cornerstone of delivering excellent service, which is why we prioritize their well-being. Great service experiences always begin with the people who provide them. Therefore, it should be enjoyable to work at Compass Group.
We are a member of DI (Dansk Industri), and all our operational employees are employed under a collective agreement. This ensures fair wages, working hours, and similar conditions.
We support our kitchen staff with professional development to offer the best workplaces in the country.
