Be Well. Do Well. is Aramark’s sustainability plan. It sums up our goal to make a positive impact on people and planet. Simply stated, we are working to reduce inequity, support and grow our communities, and protect our planet.
Our Strategy
Be Well. Do Well. accelerates our sustainability efforts and aligns with our vision for our future:
To enable equity and wellbeing for millions, and reduce our greenhouse gas emissions.
These goals convey our priorities and ambitions, focusing our efforts and inspiring our organization.
Our sustainability plan starts with people. People are at the center of everything we do and so we’re focused on equity and wellbeing of our employees and consumers, the people in the communities where we live and work, as well as the people in our supply chain. We also focus on the wellbeing of our planet by minimizing environmental impact across all of our operations, from the foods we serve to the facilities we manage.
Each goal is supported by three priorities, which align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. We have identified key performance indicators and internal targets tied to our business objectives to drive outcomes against those priorities.
Our People priorities are to engage employees, empower healthy consumers, and build community.
Our Planet priorities are to source responsibly, operate efficiently, minimize food waste and reduce packaging.
Sustainability Begins With Integrity
Our commitment to sustainability, to doing the right thing always, begins with integrity. We are committed to conducting business according to the highest ethical standards and in compliance with the law. Our Business Conduct Policy (BCP) details our commitment to operating ethically and transparently. It explains the basic rules and principles that apply to every Aramark team member. Annual training addresses anti-corruption, human rights and the workplace environment, accurate books and records, privacy and confidentiality, and safety, as well as how to report potential BCP violations. There are numerous ways to report a possible violation of the Business Conduct Policy. The Aramark Hotline is operated by a third-party company, and translation services are available. Reports can be made anonymously, and Aramark also prohibits retaliation against persons who report a suspected violation in good faith.
