There’s nothing like a bit of friendly competition. That’s why, every year, we hold a global Nando’s Master Griller comp, where our best go head-to-head to claim the Master Griller title. It’s a celebration of craft, culture, and the fire that makes our chicken legendary. Plus, it’s a chance to win yourself a free trip to another part of the world.

Every year, we celebrate our values, and those who embody them, at our annual Life & Soul Awards. Nominated by their teammates from all over Australia and New Zealand, our Life & Soul Award winners are recognised and rewarded with an unforgettable journey to the heart of Australia, Uluru. At Nando’s, we don’t just talk about living our values—we live them. It’s about how we do things, and the real impact our people make every day—on each other, in our restaurants, and in the lives of our customers.

Nando’s purpose is “Changing Lives, Together” — making a difference through its people and projects. The Changing Lives Squad leads initiatives like No Chuckin’ Our Chicken and Goodbye Malaria, while also championing sustainability. Nando’s sources 100% RSPCA/SPCA-approved chicken, reduces food waste, composts, recycles, and seeks eco-friendly innovations. Packaging has shifted to compostable or recyclable options, and single-use plastics have been cut. At its core, Nando’s believes when Nandocas thrive, epic things happen. Serving PERi-PERi with purpose means caring for people, communities, and the planet — today, tomorrow, and well into the future.

Back in 2020, we fired up something special — our Belong Council. Established in 2020, our Belong Council is all about making sure everyone at Nando’s feels seen, supported, and celebrated. From Wear It Purple Day, to R U OK? Day, and plenty more in between, The Belong Council help us show up, speak up, and stand together. And it shows: 87% of our Nandoca’s feel a sense of belonging. Because at Nando’s, everyone deserves to feel like they truly belong.
