Youth Voices on Food Sustainability & Careers
Our Compeat Youth Advisory Board brings together young people from across the country to discuss issues around sustainability and careers in the food industry.
We believe that businesses like ours have a responsibility and opportunity to create social value for the people we work with and the communities in which we operate.
We consider social value to be our full contribution to society, including the economic, social and environmental outcomes we create. It’s built around the products we make for our customers and consumers, the way we work with our colleagues, the way we source our products and work with our suppliers, the way we interact with the environment and our local communities, and the way we invest in programmes for society as a whole.
By 2035 we’ll be a business that has scaled our social value tenfold. Read our progress in our ESG report.
Inclusion & Wellbeing
We’re passionate about food, but we can’t make great food without great people.
Supporting our Colleagues
We’re committed to creating an equitable and inclusive workforce, to creating employment opportunities for underserved groups, and to achieving gender parity across leadership roles by 2030. Our People strategy helps to guide our equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) activities, which we believe are essential in ensuring we live our purpose to its fullest.
We’re enthusiastic about welcoming innovative new talent to the business, which we support and nurture through our graduate programmes and a variety of apprenticeships. We encourage our colleagues to form internal community groups around topics they feel passionate about, and we’re proud that Compleat is home to diverse and supportive communities focusing on a range of topics, such as health, LGBTQIA+, menopause awareness, mental wellbeing, nature and neurodiversity.
