The importance of strong ethics and transparency is the foundation of our approach to governance. Through responsible sourcing and responsible leadership, we’ll be a standard-bearer for a more sustainable and resilient food system. We are committed to sharing our ambitions and progress, and publicly disclose against global frameworks including TCFD, CDP and SASB.

Responsible Leadership

Building future-fit capabilities and values on our teams and supply chain partners.

Responsible Leadership

It’s our vision to be the UK’s number one chilled prepared food company. We know that diligent and responsible leadership will be critical in getting us there.

We make food to feel good, taste good and do good. For everyone. We stay true to this purpose by taking our role as a responsible business seriously. This means leading with confidence, thinking ahead and embracing everything there is to learn in our fast-moving sector. We give equal emphasis to the way we operate as well as our financial results, ensuring we remain both profitable and sustainable, so that we can continue delivering positive impact long into the future.

Governance and Risk

We want to be accountable for the targets and ambitions we’ve set as a group. With a robust system of governance in place, we can drive cultural change in our people and processes, and ensure the business is on track to meet our goals.

Ultimate responsibility for our ESG strategy lies at Executive and Group Board level, overseen by our Chief Procurement Officer (CPO). Our Group Head of ESG reports to our CPO and Executive Board on a quarterly basis.

We’re committed to being transparent about our progress, publicly disclosing against global frameworks TCFD, CDP, SBTi and SASB, and learning from these disclosures to focus activities on our net zero and social value goals. ESG is an increasingly important consideration for our customers, consumers, investors and colleagues, so transparency is critical. As a leading food company, credibility and trust is integral to Compleat so we need to be held to account by all of our stakeholders.

We’re proud to align with the following external commitments and standards, which keep us accountable and underline our dedicated approach to transparently doing the right thing for people and planet.
