Fair Food Chef Paul Ruszat with Morrison Healthcare (of Compass Group USA): “If the sustainability doesn’t start with the people that are growing and picking our food then the rest doesn’t matter.”
Today, we bring you news of a brand-new campaign by one of the Fair Food Program’s participating buyers, Compass Group USA! Compass serves eight million meals every day at its countless different venues, from school lunchrooms to corporate cafes, and the communications team at Compass has set out to share the story of the Fair Food Program, and its partnership with the CIW, along with the meals it serves. Over the past year, Compass Group has been quietly investing in educating the leaders within the company – from those who source tomatoes and other fresh produce, to the chefs who carefully prepare meals in school cafeterias, hospitals, and restaurants across the country – about the topic of Fair Food. And now, Compass is taking this mission beyond the walls of the company and straight to its millions of customers.
After several multi-day visits to Immokalee to meet with farmworker leaders and participating growers over the past year, Compass recently published a brand-new microsite on Fair Food, where it describes the company’s commitment to support and expand the groundbreaking changes in the fields wrought by the Fair Food Program. Here are just a few highlights from their new site:
