Our core sustainability themes:

Food

In the restaurant industry, food is at the heart of everything. Ensure your dishes are rooted in ethics with our guidance: from sourcing ingredients responsibly, to portioning with precision, and ensuring freshness. Navigate dietary restrictions with clarity and accessibility for your patrons. We help you master sustainable supply chains, adept food preparation, and eco-conscious menu planning.

Waste

From sourcing to service, waste remains a pivotal concern in the restaurant industry. We begin with foundational insights into the nature and implications of waste. Together, we then explore strategies for effective waste management, emphasising both reduction and circularity.

Energy & Water usage

Starting with the essentials of energy and water consumption sets the stage for impactful change in the restaurant industry. From foundational knowledge, we transition to actionable insights that our valued partners can use to proactively refine their energy and water footprints, leaning into greener alternatives whenever feasible.

Operations & Design

Envision a restaurant where every choice is a nod to sustainability—from the dishes to green packaging and ethical sourcing. Dive into the meaning of sustainability and how to integrate it seamlessly into your restaurant's vision and plans.

Community

Sustainability thrives on unity. Through our 'Community' curriculum, we evaluate how effectively restaurants weave their sustainability values into training and communication. It's all about listening to the voices of staff and customers, while consistently upholding the gold standards of ethics, professionalism, and transparency.
