*The median figure is the middle point of a number set, in which half of the numbers are above and half are below. This is different to the mean, which is the sum of all the numbers in the set, divided by the amount of numbers in the set.**ONS, Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings: 2016

Foreword

Compass Group UK’s median gender pay gap is 12.3%*, which is better than the UK’s median gender pay gap of 18.2%**. However, we recognise that there is more we can do.

Our gender pay gap reflects the average paid to men and women across our UK business. It is not a comparison of pay rates for men and women doing work of equal value.

While women make up the majority of our UK workforce and a significant proportion of senior positions, more of our most senior (and therefore highest-paid) people are currently male, a factor that influences both our gender pay and bonus gaps.

At Compass Group, we are committed to the diversity and inclusion agenda. You can read more about what we are doing to address our gender pay and bonus gaps on pages 4-5.

I look forward to reporting on our progress in a year’s time.

Addressing Our Gender Pay GapAs part of a number of diversity and inclusion initiatives, our award-winning Women in Food programme aims to attract more women to this exciting and diverse industry*.Through this we want to:• Attract more female chefs and support their development;• Provide more opportunities for women to progress into senior

positions and increase the proportion of women on our senior leadership team; and

• Enhance the support we provide to parents returning to work after parental and adoption leave.

Here are some examples of our work in this area.

More female chefsCompass Group UK & Ireland employs just under 4,500 chefs. 35% of them are female. This is far higher than the average representation of women in chef roles across the UK.* We want to attract even more women into chef roles with us and support their career progression.Our Women in Food Ambassadors Network, made up of eight of our female chefs, plays an important role in helping us to achieve this. As well as working externally to inspire more women to consider a career as a chef, our Ambassadors also support the needs of our female chefs across the business through mentoring and career support.

Women in leadershipWe have developed a programme to support the progression of more women into senior leadership roles within our business.The programme has been designed so that mentors from our senior leadership team can help cohorts better navigate the areas that can affect a woman’s career development.

Supporting our working parentsWe have developed resources to support our people who are expecting or adopting a child – as well as their managers. Our Maternity, Paternity, Adoption and Shared Parental Leave guides are designed to support employees as they prepare to take leave, during their time away from the workplace and in helping ensure a smooth return back to work.

Flexible workingMany of our people, including some of our senior colleagues, work part-time or flexible hours. We are positive about exploring different ways of working because it helps us attract and keep the best people in the business.

Case Study

Gemma EvansExecutive Chef & Women in Food Ambassador

I have worked for Compass Group for nearly eight years. I love working here because it’s an organisation which offers growth to employees who are hungry for new adventures.

Working in the Education sector, my day job can involve anything from reviewing menus to organising tasting sessions and training up the next generation of chefs. I love my job because I can see the value of what I add to the lives of future generations.

In addition to my day job, I have also taken part in international competitions, including the World Culinary Olympics in 2012, where I was the only female chef in the UK to win a gold medal, and again in 2016, where I won a bronze medal and was

the only female chef in the British team.

I was also very proud to be shortlisted for Chef of the Year at the 2017 Shine Awards, which celebrate the contribution of women to the hospitality, leisure and catering industries.

I am now excited to be part of the Women in Food Board and Ambassador Programme, where I hope we can encourage more women into our industry as well as supporting the successful career pathways of female chefs.
