Many companies have a canteen arrangement where the food is either cooked on-site or delivered from a large kitchen. Here, your business can also do more to make a sustainable choice.
Initially, you can choose a catering company that focuses on sustainability.
Many of them already focus on how environmental impact is reduced with the right raw materials and products, minimization of waste and optimal preparation. For example establishment with the Organic Eating Mark (Det Økologiske Spisemærke), conference venues with GREEN KEY or catering companies with GREEN RESTAURANT.
In addition, your business can:
- Focus on how the food is prepared by asking for the catering company use of raw materials. The site focuses on ecology, 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
- Minimize food waste by ordering and continuously adjusting the number according to how many are in the house
- Ensure that serving dishes can be recycled and returned to your supplier
- Avoid or use smaller disposable services such as plastic glasses, plates, etc., which also provides a worse experience for your colleagues and guests
- Serve tap water instead of spring water
