SLAVERY & HUMAN TRAFFICKING STATEMENT
Compass Group PLC (the
Company
) presents its annual statement pursuant to the provisions of
section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 for the year ended 30 September 2017.
Introduction
Trends towards globalisation mean that it is increasingly common for businesses to source their goods
and services from different countries, making visibility in the supply chain more challenging.
Whilst globalisation has created advantages for businesses and individuals alike it has also provided
opportunity for unscrupulous businesses to exploit vulnerable people by coercing them into becoming
victims of human trafficking and slavery.
Those that profit from modern slavery go to great lengths to ensure that their criminal activities are
not discovered and consequently, it can be extremely difficult to identify such activity. This means
that no business, including our own, can have absolute certainty that such activity does not exist
within its business or supply chain. At Compass, our people are the key to our continued success and
we will not tolerate any such behaviour in our own operations or within our supply chains.
Our business and supply chains
Compass provides outsourced food and support services to millions of people around the world every
day. We operate in over 50 countries in five sectors: Business & Industry, Education, Defence,
Offshore & Remote, Sports & Leisure and Healthcare & Seniors, more details of which can be found
in our 2016 annual report at www.compass-group.com. As a result, our supply chains are complex
and we remain committed to eradicating slavery and human trafficking through a combination of risk
assessment, collaborative programmes, policies and activities which help us mitigate and manage the
risk.
We recognise the importance of maintaining both visibility and transparency within our supply chain
in order to continue to protect those who work within it from potential abuse and exploitation and to
this end, we take great care in selecting the companies who supply us.
Policies and contractual controls
Our approach in respect of slavery and human trafficking is to eliminate it both from our business
and from our supply chains. This is consistent with our Human Rights Policy, our Code of Business
Conduct and our Code of Ethics, details of which can be found in our annual and corporate
responsibility reports for 2016 and on our website at
www.compass-group.com
.
Our Global Supply Chain Integrity Policy, a copy of which can be found at
www.compass-
group.com
, is underpinned by a robust set of Standards which clearly define our responsible sourcing
principles and the values we expect our suppliers to uphold.
Our Standards encompass the nine-point Ethical Trade Initiative (ETI) Base Code whereby:

Employment is freely chosen

Freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining are respected

Working conditions are safe and hygienic

Child labour shall not be used

Living wages are paid in the country of supply/production

Working hours are not excessive

No discrimination is practised

Regular employment is provided

No harsh or inhumane treatment is allowed.
Our Approach
Our suppliers are required to confirm signed acceptance and compliance with these criteria. However,
they often have their own complex supply chains and as a result, it is not possible for us to directly
monitor or control the working conditions of each individual supplier.
We are committed to reducing supply chain complexity so that any vulnerabilities can be more easily
identified and addressed through a comprehensive risk-based assessment.
Compass Group is a member of the Supplier Ethical Data Exchange ‘SEDEX’, a not for profit
organisation dedicated to driving improvements in responsible and ethical business practices across
global supply chains. It enables sharing of ethical supply chain data which allows members to access
information about their suppliers in four key areas – labour standards, health and safety, the
environment and business ethics.
We recognise that certain categories of procured products and services potentially carry a higher risk
of child or slave labour being used in the supply chain. As such, we continue to conduct independent
audits to verify labour standards and identify any poor practice. Any supplier breaches that are
uncovered via audit or any other means will be fully investigated and, where possible, remedied.
Repeat breaches or those that cannot be remedied will result in the immediate termination of the
relevant supplier. Within our UK business, we have rolled out SEDEX to 30% of suppliers within
those categories viewed to carry a higher risk.
In some of our business sectors and in certain geographic regions where we operate, the risk of human
trafficking, slavery or child labour being used is higher. For example, in relation to the Group’s
offshore sector, we have retained a global labour supplier to supplement our own offshore workforce
flexibly to meet our clients’ requirements. This supplier meets our businesses’ supply chain standards
and has committed to act within the principles of our policies and procedures (including in respect of
slavery, human trafficking and the Codes of Business Conduct and Ethics) and in accordance with
applicable laws and regulations. Any breaches by the supplier entitles us to terminate their contract.
Our businesses in the UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia source the majority of labour from India, Nepal,
Bangladesh and the Philippines. Strict vetting procedures are in place for all overseas labour agencies
and we only contract with those registered and approved by local government agencies. All labour
agencies are required to adhere to our Code of Business Conduct and would be terminated for any
breach. Additional checks and controls are in place from recruitment through to commencement of
employment to confirm that our standards and procedures are adhered to.
In 2016-2017, our Group HR team commissioned a third party to conduct a detailed due diligence
assessment of adherence to Company policies for those countries viewed to be of a higher risk of
slave labour and human trafficking. The review comprised seven countries and we found that there
was a high level of compliance with our policies and procedures.
Awareness Training
We have developed an e-learning programme for the Group’s procurement teams which is designed
to raise awareness of the issue of slavery and human trafficking and to help identify and mitigate
potential risks from our global supply chain. In 2016-2017, 200 colleagues from our Foodbuy
procurement teams in the UK and North America (accounting for around c.70% of global
procurement spend) completed the programme.
By 2020, we are committed to extending the e-learning programme to our top twenty countries which
account for over 80% of our global procurment spend.
By 2020, we are committed to extending the e-learning programme to our top twenty countries which
account for over 80% of our global procurement spend.
Communication of Concerns
Concerns about slavery and human trafficking may be raised by employees, suppliers and others
through our existing Speak Up helpline at
www.compass-speakup.com
. During the last 12 months
there have been no reports to the Speak Up helpline regarding allegations of slavery or human
trafficking.
Had there been any such reports, appropriate investigation and remedial action would have been
undertaken, including termination of the relevant supply contract if deemed necessary.
Reporting on our Progress
In this statement, we have set out the steps that we are taking to prevent modern slavery and human
trafficking in our business and supply chains. We realise that this will be an ongoing process and we
aim to demonstrate the progress that we are making each financial year through the following key
performance indicators:

% of newly contracted approved.suppliers who have signed the Compass Code of Business
Conduct (2017: 100%)

Number of concerns relating to slavery and human trafficking reported by employees globally,
via Speak Up (2017: Nil)

Number of concerns relating to slavery and human trafficking reported by suppliers globally,
via Speak Up (2017: Nil)

Number of buyers in our Foodbuy procurement teams who have successfully completed our
slavery and human trafficking e-learning programme (2017: 200)

% of contracted approved suppliers to our UK business who have shared information with us
via the SEDEX ethical sourcing platform (2017: 30%)
The Board has concluded that our policies, procedures and supply chain risk mapping activity provide
reasonable, but not absolute assurance that the Company has reduced the risk that slavery and human
trafficking could be found in our business or in our supply chains.

By 2020, we are committed to extending the e-learning programme to our top twenty countries which
account for over 80% of our global procurement spend.

I Stand Corrected --- Mysteriously So


COMPASS GROUPS CORPORATE PLEDGE....Re: Anna Proxy?url=http%3A%2F%2Fannavonreitz.com%2Fanna145
By Anna Von Reitz

Today, I got a message from a British reader informing me that (in regard to my article about peonage in our British-run jails titled "Prisons For Profit Run by Foreigners")  Compass Group, PLC, sold off its interest in prison services to this multinational conglomerate: 


Matt Sanford
Managing Director
msanford@higcapital.com


Christopher Paldino
Principal
cpaldino@higcapital.com


H.I.G. Capital
1450 Brickell Avenue
31st Floor
Miami, FL 33131
P 305.379.2322
F 305.379.2013
www.higcapital.com


There's just one problem --- this acquisition occurred in 2012 and in 2018, Compass Group, PLC, is still appearing as the owner operator of Trinity Services and not H.I.G. Capital. 


Most likely, as is very and unfortunately common, H.I.G. Capital swooped in, gained control of a portion of Compass Group, PLC. by acquisition, gained use of the name and logos, etc., associated with one part of Compass Group, PLC, and continues to use the Compass Group, PLC, name as a storefront for H.I.G. Capital.  


Something similar happened when the U.S. Attorney General acquired Wells Fargo and continued to use the "Wells Fargo Bank"  name and trademark to mask a securities corporation owned and operated by the US AG. 


Who knows what H.I.G. Capital's stance on the Modern Slavery Act 2015 is? 


Well, apparently, it's time we found out. 


At least Compass Group, PLC, had the decency to address the subject and have a published corporate policy about such issues.  


So the abusive service corporation running the Colorado jail kitchens is still, ultimately, a Foreign Service Provider.  It just may be H.I.G. Capital responsible for running the show instead of Compass Group, PLC.  


Again, and either way, have at it.  


I should also note that I got several questions about my statement that there are "25 million Americans in prison tonight" ---- from people bringing forward statistics indicating that the number is more like 2.5 million.  


They changed the names of most federal "prisons" to "correctional facilities" and that caused an instant and very dramatic drop in the official "prison" population!    


Hahahahah! ---- except that just as many people remain behind bars.  And those of us who know the verbiage routinely ignore their sophism. 


Let's also make it clear that I am including the populations of the federated "State of State" prisons and jails and "correctional facilities" and "reform institutions", for the simple reason that the people who are incarcerated in these facilities are suffering under the same system and the same false legal presumptions of the same parent corporations.
