EcoAct provided us with invaluable help for our CDP response this year and were very accommodating with our extra requirements. It was a pleasure working with them
EcoAct worked alongside Compass Group to improve key sections of the response where they could potentially gain the maximum amount of points. In particular we focused on helping Compass Group report on carbon reduction targets and initiatives; and we also worked with senior managers to review potential climate change risks and opportunities which the business may face in the future.
By gaining a strong understanding of Compass Group’s organisational structure, the environmental performance of their key competitors and relevant activity in the food supply and catering industry, we identified the key risks and opportunities that climate change posed to their business.
