Our number one operational priority remains health, safety and the environment for the 20 million consumers who eat and drink with us every day.
We believe that everyone at Compass has a moral obligation to safeguard each other and our customers by operating a safe, injury free workplace. To ensure best practice, we developed a set of occupational health and safety policies, minimum operating standards and behaviours in 2007, which have been steadily rolled our across our business.
A great example of our policies in practice include our GRSA business in Brazil reaching an important safety milestone at the Porto Thrombetas mine in the state of Para, the Amazon Rainforest region, when they achieved more than six million man-hours worked with no lost time injuries. At this site, we serve more than 4,000 meals and provide support services to over 6,500 workers every day.
