Sustainability Commitments
Morrison Healthcare is committed to serving food that is not only good for your patients and guests, but also good for the planet.
1
We adhere to responsible and sustainable food procurement practices in our supply chain that promote the health and well-being of our people and planet.
2
We minimize food waste according to established standards and programs.
3
We source sustainable packaging and where composting and recycling exist, we support both.
Our Food Matters
Our Food Matters is more than a statement. It is our philosophy that food, when approached thoughtfully, can be a catalyst for change. In 2020, we started on the Our Food Matters journey with a newfound appreciation of just how precious food is to our communities and climate.
Food can be regenerative to our world by restoring and drawing down the carbon from greenhouse gases into the soil. This practice creates a more prosperous, biodiverse, living soil that will deliver better flavored and nutrient-dense foods for our patients and guests to enjoy.
We have built relationships with other organizations on the front line of change in the food system and continue to partner with organizations that provide us the knowledge and tools to make a difference for our clients, our people and our planet.
For us, fighting climate change is as easy as making healthy, delicious food for our patients and guests. We are rebuilding recipes from the ground up with the most regenerative ingredients that are also readily available to our chefs. With these recipes, we can utilize our scale to both expand our biodiversity and drive restorative change within the system.
Our Scorecard
Items that meet the specific criteria of Compass Group’s sustainability initiatives, as a percent of total purchases for that category. Calculations are based on items where the source has been identified as sustainable or unsustainable. Items that aren’t traceable aren’t reported.
Waste Not
We have committed to reducing our food waste 50% by 2030. Waste Not combats food waste every day in our cafes as we strive to meet this commitment at the source. This web-based measurement tool categorizes daily waste before disposal and allows accounts to post results and track progress to help minimize the cost and environmental impact of food waste.
