Impacts, Risks and Opportunities
Sustainability in Gastronomy
Whether it’s a star restaurant, a trendy restaurant, a caterer or a cafeteria: sustainability is more than what’s on the menu. Behind the scenes, environmental protection and employee responsibility are important topics. Restaurants have great leverage to stop food waste – from zero waste to doggie bags.
Responsible chefs are driving the transformation forward by relying on regional, seasonal organic products with short delivery routes, working resource-consciously and energy-efficiently, using reusable systems and avoiding waste. A holistic approach to healthy nutrition, climate protection and fair working conditions shapes actions in transformative companies.

In 2020, the Michelin Guide introduced the Green Star. This year, 16 restaurants in Germany alone received this award, and 72 worldwide. This shows how sustainability becomes a motivation for star restaurants, but also for catering establishments of all kinds. A major challenge is global meat and fish consumption, which has negative impacts on greenhouse gases, biodiversity and animal welfare. Sustainable sources of supply provide relief, as does the ever-increasing range of vegetarian and vegan alternatives, which are often more environmentally friendly to prepare.
