Compass Group PLC said Friday that it has made a commitment to
reach carbon neutrality in its own operations by 2030 and net zero
greenhouse gas emissions across its operations and value chain by
2050.
The U.K. catering contractor said its reductions targets for the
next decade--which include a 46% reduction in Scope 1 and 2
greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 from 2019 levels--have been
validated by the Science Based Targets initiative.
Specific targets include transitioning its fleet to electric
vehicles, switching to renewable electricity, switching menus
towards more plant-based proteins, reducing food waste by 50% by
2030, and developing a global deforestation-free and land
conversion-free supply chain, the company said.
Compass said it will also use its scale global reach to work
with clients, industry associates, governments and suppliers to
achieve similar goals, and that its strategy will be delivered
through collaboration, innovation and investment across global
operations.
"Given the complexity of the global food supply chain as it is
today, we do not underestimate the scale of the challenge ahead of
us. Radical new collaborations are urgently needed across the
entire value chain to make it a reality," Chief Executive Dominic
Blakemore said.
