WorldFirst™— Purpose Driven Procurement.

Founded on the global programs, policies and standards of the World’s largest food service organisation, Compass Group, we continue to invest in our communities through a broad range of industry partnerships and innovation programs.

We work with our supply partners and clients to develop opportunities that aim to make a real and sustainable difference to our communities. We consolidate all these initiatives under our WorldFirst™ program.

We believe in the power of food to enrich the lives of all people and to support the health, wellbeing and sustainable prosperity of our communities.

As a leading and global food organisation, we embrace our responsibility and opportunity to do the right thing, to be at the forefront of change and to be a positive influence in supporting our clients to develop and deliver our shared vision for a better future through food.

It is this commitment, driven through the power of our procurement, our investment in innovative partnerships and complemented by a relentless focus on reducing food waste that we seek to put the WorldFirst™.

WorldFirst brings to life our deep experience and belief in “Purpose Driven Procurement” and our market-leading Foodbuy supply chain solutions in support of a shared and enduring commitment to the community.

Our supply chain is established on the foundation of ‘Grown Here, not Flown Here’ which drives our investments and relationships with Indigenous entrepreneurs, Australian producers & SME organisations.

Our ethical standards reflect our commitment to human rights, equality and eradicating ‘modern slavery’ alongside animal welfare, Net Zero Carbon and the elimination of food waste.

Our WorldFirst™ Framework

Our WorldFirst™ framework consists of 6 key pillars within which we develop our specific programs, engage with like-minded supply partners and invest in strategic industry partnerships – bringing our belief in ‘Purpose Driven Procurement’, to all our clients and their customers.

 

 

PLANET PROMISE
The core of our WorldFirst™ platform is working with all our clients to bring their net zero and climate change strategies to life through a progressive and sustainable supply chain. From short-term product initiatives to industry investment in new technologies. A truly global vision.

ETHICAL SOURCING
Our central focus is on all forms of ESG (Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance). Aligned with the commitments of the global Compass Group, this pillar supports the development of our sustainability, net zero carbon and social enterprise investments.

ANIMAL WELFARE
It encompasses our work to support sustainable agricultural practices, the treatment of animals across the food chain and the investment in alternate protein technologies and ‘plant-forward’ products.

FIRST NATIONS PROCUREMENT & SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT
Our enduring commitment to engage, invest and support the growth of authentic ATSI-led businesses.

AUSTRALIAN & SME PROCUREMENT
Through our ‘Grown Here, Not Flown Here’ philosophy and our support to fresh food and our amazing Australian growers, producers and distributors. Alongside our ATSI-led supply chain, we are proud to support Australian entrepreneurs, new ventures and SME’s across our food, services and subcontractor portfolio.

MODERN SLAVERY
Our global commitment to human rights, equality and the eradication of Modern Slavery from both our own supply chain alongside the supply chain behind them.
