Ideas For Creating a Sustainable Program For the Catering Industry

Sustainability as a concept is really about survival. Simply put, it's about finding the belief, tools and actions that allow for us to continue to exist as a species. It's like we've journeyed so far in the wrong direction, that we are now trying to find our way back to a place we had long since past. It really begs the question: Weren't our communities sustainable at one point and time?
Being environmentally responsible is really about making better choices and many require a simple shift in attitude. With respect to sustainability, there are the obvious choices of energy efficient light bulbs and aerators on taps to save water. Other choices prove harder to make as they invariably are very time consuming and have a direct impact your bottom line. but like most things in life, the most rewarding things are often not the easiest to accomplish.

Here are some useful ideas to kick-start your own sustainability program.

Look For a Local, City Sponsored Program
Begin your search on-line by finding what programs already exist in your area. Joining a local, government sponsored environmental group is a great way to begin your companies journey to sustainability as you'll often find the necessary resources in one convenient place. Some organizations will do in-house assessments of your business and help you to set up achievable goals.

Waste Management
Call you current waste services provider to see if they have a compost program. What you'll no doubt find is the increased costs of composting will be off-set the decreased costs of your regular garbage pick-up. Your next challenge was be getting staff to change their behavior!

Packaging
A necessary evil, but how much of it do you really need? When working with local suppliers make a point of asking for as little packaging as possible. Both you and your supplier benefit. Your supplier saves on the cost of producing packaging material and you save time and money recycling unnecessary packaging material.

Local Suppliers
Give local suppliers a chance to compete for your business. You're saving on expensive transportation costs as well as having your hard-earned dollars stay in your community.

Farmers Markets
Many cities have a wholesale farmers market programs. Vendors will often deliver directly to your business at no charge making it both convenient and affordable. Also, you have to added bonus of being able to tell your clients just where the lettuce in their salad came from.

Education
Acquiring Knowledge
Another area of sustainability that's critical is education. Attending conferences like the "Slow Food Nation Conference" in San Francisco is an opportunity to gain valuable insight as well as see where sustainability is headed, Talking with growers and producers from your area offers learning opportunities. Most importantly, the potential of the internet to create critical mass around sustainability cannot be overlooked. For In the end, you can't have meaningful change without critical mass.

Be a Resource
Document and your new-found sustainability awareness and offer it up as a resource to others in your community. Consider devoting a section of your website to sustainability.

Summary
One clear benefit of being a relatively small company is that you can draft policy concerning sustainability and effect change quickly. Have a bottom up mentality that encourages input from all your staff. Continually set up new projects and achievable goals for your business. Sustainability really is a never ending journey complete with wrong turns and unsuccessful summit attempts, but one thing is clear, the journey once embarked upon can never stop!
