Compass scores 37/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified August 2026.
That places Compass joint 315th of 600 companies scored, and joint 17th of 48 in Food Service / Restaurants.
Compass Group sets ambitious net-zero targets but absolute emissions are rising. Scope 1 emissions jumped 12% year-on-year and 48% since 2020, driven by the US refrigerated truck fleet. Supply chain emissions dominate but remain poorly tracked across most Scope 3 categories. Water reporting is absent entirely.
