Our key sustainability themes

And what their ratings stand for:

Eten is de kern van de restaurant industrie. Wij zorgen ervoor dat restaurants er rekening mee houden dat hun voedsel ethisch verantwoord is, de juiste porties heeft en gezond en vers is. We letten er ook op dat informatie over dieetbeperkingen en -behoeften transparant en gemakklijk toegankelijk is. Onze beoordeling omvat duurzame toeleveringsketen, voedselbereiding en menuplanning.

Food is core of the restaurant industry. We make sure that restaurants take into account that their food is ethically sourced, appropriately portioned, healthy and fresh. We also keep an eye that information on dietary restrictions and needs is transparent and easy to access. Our assessment encompasses sustainable supply chains, food preparation and menu planning.

Whether from the farm, market, kitchen or the dining room, waste is a big challenge for the food industry. We assess and score how restaurants meet this challenge in terms of their waste management practices all the way from their food purchasing to preparation and delivery, paying especial attention to waste reduction and circularity.

Efficient and sustainable energy and water use makes a big difference for our planet. Our partner restaurants take this seriously and we consider all the measures they put into place to lower their energy and water footprints and use of greener alternatives wherever possible.

Opportunities for sustainability are there outside the kitchen too. With operations and design, we look at restaurants holistically zooming in on their sustainability choices in everything from delivery packaging and transportation, the sourcing of materials like uniforms and cleaning products, to their overall business planning and corporate social responsibility.

Sustainability is not a one-man job. With community we score just how well restaurants integrate their values into their training and communication. This involves making sure staff and customer needs and feedback are addressed, as well as guaranteeing that the highest standards of ethics, professionalism, and transparency are met.

What does the score mean?

After filling out our sustainability checklist we give restaurants a score (one to five green Humbees) based on how they performed in each of our five key sustainability themes (food, waste, energy and water, operations and design, and community).

Please note that a restaurant scoring even just two green Humbees means that it is way ahead of the average restaurant in terms of sustainability.

,p>Unlike, a standard consumer star rating with less stars reflecting a subpar experience or quality, this is not a rating of bad to good. Rather, green Humbees reflect how far along its sustainability journey a restaurant is, and how much more opportunity they have to become even more sustainable than they already are.
