Climate Net Zero
Our Climate Promise has two clear objectives:
1. To support industry-wide systems change for a sustainable food system.
2. To enable meaningful change across our wider business activities in both the public and private sector.
Waste Knot
A scary amount of perfectly decent fruit and vegetables get wasted every year and around 7% of what’s grown in the UK never makes it to a plate - that’s more than £1 billion worth of goodness going to waste.
Restaurant Associates work with Waste Knot to make sure the farmer is paid and receives a commercial value for produce at the same time as helping the hospitality sector to enhance its sustainability credentials. We work with single lines and mixed boxes, the same as everyone else.
Our chefs have created some delicious Summer recipes that focus on using surplus vegetables and fruit.
Our social promise is designed to do the right thing by our associates and the communities in which they work. Our intent is to leave a healthy footprint in the hearts and heads of our teams which is the fourth of Restaurant Associates five values.
