Why is sustainability important in marketing? 📱🖥️🌎🍽️ The climate and biodiversity crises are at critical points, and we need every industry to enact drastic, immediate change. Talking about your own sustainability won’t just benefit your own business, but can create a ripple effect, encouraging others to make positive changes of their own. Once you’re making strides, sharing these efforts with your customers (in the right ways) provides a valuable marketing opportunity. It connects with people on issues that matter to them, improves brand reputation, increases customer loyalty, solves staffing problems and leads to positive press. So, how can restaurants talk about their sustainability work effectively (and without greenwashing)? Read on for our best advice and valuable insights from experts in our network: Holly Letch, Head of Sustainability at JKS Restaurants; Chantelle Nicholson, Chef Owner at Apricity Restaurant; Alec Wilkinson Sustainability Manager at PASTURE; and Carolyn Lum, Sustainability Manager at Wahaca. https://lnkd.in/dHP7i-jy

♻️ Sustainability in Food Service Operations 🌱 Sustainability isn't just a buzzword in the hospitality industry; it's a crucial operational pillar. My role in various leading hotels has equipped me with the essentials of integrating sustainability, from procurement to waste management. At the University of Minnesota, the "Sustainability of Food Systems" course profoundly influenced how I implement eco-friendly practices. In your experience, what are some impactful yet practical measures that have helped your operations become more sustainable? #Sustainability #FoodService #EcoFriendly #HospitalityLeadership

🌍🍽️ This #SustainableGastronomyDay, let's take bold action for our planet! The hospitality industry's impact on our environment is significant, contributing to climate change, biodiversity loss, land degradation, water pollution and more. Did you know 931 million tonnes of food are wasted annually, with 26% coming from foodservice alone? To meet our climate targets, we need to rethink how we approach food – from how it's grown to how we consume it. The hospitality sector plays a crucial role in connecting the food system with consumers, influencing choices and behaviours. Restaurant kitchens shape our future by guiding how customers think about food and what they order. Urgent action is needed across the entire hospitality industry - throughout supply chains, menus and daily operations.That's why The Sustainable Restaurant Association is dedicated to advancing solutions with the Food Made Good Standard - the world’s only sustainability accreditation tailored for the sector, transforming kitchens worldwide. https://lnkd.in/duiWxmmH Together, let's redefine 'good' in hospitality. Let's fix our food system to ensure that good food—good on every level—is accessible to everyone.

Together, our industry has the potential to cut 70 million tonnes of #CO2 annually and reduce food-related #emissions by 30% by 2030! These are two of the pivotal findings set out in our new Decarbonizing Hotel Food Systems #whitepaper, developed in #collaboration with Iberostar Group and the Sustainable Markets Initiative, with the support of Systemiq Ltd.. The hospitality industry holds a crucial position in shaping our global food system, driven by an ever-increasing demand for food. Yet, the prevailing model of #foodprocurement and #foodconsumption in #hotels often relies on emissions-intensive ingredients and generates significant waste, resulting in an unacceptably high #carbonfootprint. By adopting innovative solutions like #AI #wastetracking technologies and leveraging #procurement power, we can truly transform our impact and take a significant step towards a #NetPositive future. This paper is a game-changing resource for both our sector and the entire global food system, equipping us to #futureproof the industry and advance #sustainablefood initiatives. Today, we're issuing a vital call to action, for the industry to foster meaningful discussions, collaborations and innovations that will empower us to tackle this challenge head-on! This work represents a collective effort, and I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Gloria Fluxà Thienemann, Erika Harms, JD/MBA, Jennifer Jordan-Saifi, M.V.O., MBA, Xenia zu Hohenlohe, Katherine Danby, Alicia Alonso Menjon, Nicholas Komisarjevsky, Jen Smit, Jack Doyle, Alexandra Philips, Veerle Haagh and Rupert Simons for their leadership, insights, and dedication to driving positive change. The #hospitalityindustry has an essential role to play in transforming #globalfoodsystems. Let’s seize this opportunity to lead the way by embracing #sustainablepractices that not only #reduceemissions but also support #nature, #communities, and #economicprosperity.
