Tips & tricks
for choosing and challenging your catering supplier

Selecting an eco-responsible catering supplier with a sustainable approach is not easy. No certified label exists yet. The best way is to choose a catering provider showing evidence of a sustainable approach in production and in human resources.

Check if there is a clear sustainability policy and/or a person in charge of sustainability.

  • Request evidence: a clear process description or written chart is a clear indication that this catering supplier is concerned and active.

Check if waste is sorted and ask about the waste collection process.

  • Look for separate containers for food & vegetable waste, PMD and paper, as well as treatment of grease and wastewater.
  • Are there waste reduction programmes in the workshop and at events?
  • How is recycling and composting organised?

Tips & tricks

Choose a supplier with a sustainable approach to business gifts and an eco-logical production and transport supply chain (e.g. gift4ecology).

Analyse your real needs in terms of quantity, items.

Consider optimising your budget calculation:
move from large numbers of lower quality products to smaller numbers of higher quality products.
