SUSTAINABILITY MARKETING

Leading The Way In Sustainability

Bon Appétit is the food service industry’s recognized leader in social and environmental responsibility. We were focused on sustainable sourcing before it was cool. We adopt policies and set purchasing standards long before the issues are even on most consumers’ radar sometimes more than a decade ahead of our competitors. We’re nimble enough business-wise to be willing and able to make the leap before there’s a clear path or a guaranteed supply of what we want. Instead of waiting for non-governmental organizations to come knocking on our door with a demand, we go to them to ask what’s

next, and how we can help.

How we define Sustainable Food Service

Flavorful food that’s healthy and economically viable for all, produced through practices that respect farmers, workers, and animals; nourish the community; and replenish our shared natural resources for future generations.

Sustainability is no longer a trend - it is a lifestyle, personal commitment, and deepseated Principe for many consumers. Thus, social responsibly is imperative for the food and beverage industry, with bare minimum standards (e.g., compostable straws, paper bags, etc.) margining in response to shifting consumer aptitudes and government legislation.

Roughly 40% of foodservice operations believe that actions taken by the food and beverage industry will help to greatly reduce greenhouse emissions, however, only 13% have taken a stance on climate change and adjusted their operations accordingly.
