A COMMITMENT TO FAIR FOOD
Compass Group and the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) signed a landmark agreement on September 25, 2009, that would forever change the food industry and the hearts and minds of Compass associates. Compass Group agreed to pay an additional 1.3 cents per pound for all the tomatoes purchase from Florida annually, with one cent per pound being passed from the supplier directly to the harvesters. As part of the agreement, a ‘Code of Conduct’ was created designed to improve the harsh working conditions and recognize the vital contributions farmworkers make to our food system every day
