Compass Group India, released its Sustainability Report 2025, underscoring a broader shift across India’s workplace economy where sustainability is increasingly being measured through operational outcomes rather than corporate intent. From AI led kitchen systems and emissions visibility to workplace nutrition and facilities optimisation, the report reflects how enterprise campuses and GCCs are rethinking productivity, efficiency and employee wellbeing together.
Compass Group India used AI and operational data to make workplace food systems more efficient in 2025. Through SmartQ’s AI led production planning platform, food wastage at deployed sites reduced from 8 per cent to 3 per cent, while also delivering 2 to 3 per cent monthly cost savings. Food waste tracking now covers more than 90 per cent of Compass Group India sites, up from 75 per cent last year, enabling sharper forecasting, better menu planning and lower operational waste across commercial kitchens.
The company also expanded its sustainability infrastructure across mobility, energy and procurement operations. Electric vehicles now account for nearly 45 per cent of food transportation, while rooftop solar capacity increased by 125 per cent during the year. Together, these interventions contributed to a 10.3 per cent reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions intensity. At the same time, Compass Group India strengthened ingredient level emissions mapping across more than 89,000 tonnes of food procurement to improve Scope 3 visibility, an area that now accounts for nearly 95 per cent of emissions across institutional food services.
The report also reflects a growing focus on workplace nutrition and employee wellbeing. Protein adequate meal offerings increased from 88 per cent to 98 per cent, while highly and ultra processed ingredients reduced from 9 per cent to 6 per cent. Plant based procurement reached 80 per cent by volume, with whole grain availability across menus increasing to 97per cent.
Compass Group India also expanded sustainability interventions across facilities, sourcing and workforce operations during 2025. Energy optimisation initiatives across client sites helped save approximately 2.47 lakh units of electricity, while operational interventions across kitchens and facilities strengthened circularity and waste recovery systems. Used cooking oil recovery increased to 36 tonnes, with recovered oil redirected towards biodiesel production, alongside wider adoption of compostable materials and repurpose led cooking practices. Beyond operations, the company continued strengthening inclusive workforce and procurement practices. More than 35% of procurement spend remained directed towards MSMEs, while hiring of Persons with Disabilities (PwD) increased by over 18%. Women now represent 80% of teams at select all women sites across operations.
The Sustainability Report 2025 builds on Compass Group India’s broader commitment towards shaping healthier, happier and more productive workplaces designed for India’s next generation enterprise ecosystem.
