Responsibility: Investing in the future

In today’s world, sustainability is more than just a buzzword – it’s a way of life. In the catering industry, this means using the best regional products, promoting environmentally friendly practices and strengthening the local community. We show you how top chefs and restaurateurs are finding innovative ways to create delicious meals that are in harmony with nature.

Our three areas of activity

In addition to our efforts to promote healthy eating with our dishes, we are actively committed to greater sustainability. We inform our customers about our efforts and encourage them to participate as well.

Environment

We want to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions along the entire value chain and contribute to the protection and preservation of ecosystems – on land and in water – through the circular use of resources.

Our vision is a world where we all feel comfortable in our own skin. This begins at our workplace and extends through our supply chains to the local communities where we implement projects.

We have developed five corporate principles that guide our actions:

Continuous alignment of our services to the needs and expectations of our customers

Permanent entrepreneurial thinking and economic action by all employees

Further development of all employees – from promoting young talent to securing the future

Creating scope for new ideas and the courage to implement them

Consideration of sustainability in our actions

Our goals

The aim in the catering industry is to significantly reduce CO2 emissions by 2024.

  • to reduce CO2 emissions by at least 12% to 1,150 tons by 2024
  • Steady increase in the range of non-animal dishes and products
  • We implement projects to reduce food waste.
  • Exclusively reusable solutions: For meals, guests can take their food away in Tiffin Loop’s stainless steel containers. We charge a fee for disposable bagasse packaging.
  • We are planning to make even greater selective use of regional foods.
