Sustainability in Catering Services: How We Contribute to a Better Future

Sustainability is a key topic in all industries today, and catering services are no exception. More and more clients are looking for solutions that not only delight their taste buds but also minimize the negative impact on the environment. So, what does modern, sustainable catering look like?

Local Ingredients as the Foundation

One of the main principles of sustainability in catering is the use of local and seasonal ingredients. By shortening the supply chain, we reduce the carbon footprint while also supporting local farmers. Moreover, local products ensure freshness and authentic flavors in dishes.

Minimizing Food Waste

Effective planning is crucial in catering services to minimize food waste. Through careful preparation tailored to the specific number of guests and repurposing leftovers for further processing, waste can be significantly reduced. Wherever possible, compostable or recyclable packaging is also introduced.**

Eco-Friendly Packaging and Tableware

Single-use plastics no longer have a place in modern catering. Eco-friendly alternatives—such as tableware made from sugarcane, bamboo, or recyclable paper—are becoming the standard. These materials not only look stylish but also greatly benefit the environment.

Sustainable Transportation

Logistics play a significant role in catering services. That’s why more providers are switching to low-emission vehicles or optimizing routes to minimize the environmental impact.

Customer inspiration

Modern catering goes hand in hand with educating clients about sustainable options. For example, we offer vegetarian and vegan menus, which have a lower ecological footprint, and help event organizers understand how their events can also be environmentally friendly.
