Large events require extra consideration for sustainability whether it is concerts, congresses or trade shows.

If you get food from the outside, you can choose a supplier that has focus on sustainability. Many who serve food out of the house already focus on how to reduce the environmental impact with the right ingredients and products, minimizing waste and optimal preparation. For example. eateries with the Organic Eating Brand, GREEN RESTAURANT or Green Key already have that in mind.

In addition, you can:

• Minimize food waste - Order only what food the company can eat
  
  
• Want less meat and more vegetables
  
  
• Prefer food prepared from local produce - alternatively in the immediate area
  
  
• Order seasonal products
  
  
• Buy products from outdoors or free range animals
  
  
• Order organic
  
  
• Avoid or use less disposable service
  
  
• Ensure that serving dishes can be recycled and returned to the food supplier

It has also become increasingly possible to get organic soda, beer and wine.
