Employee? Reach out to your company's cafeteria committee

I understand what's at stake

While it’s relatively easy to change our habits at home, it requires a bit more discussion and approval steps in a corporate setting.

Many company cafeterias have adapted their offerings to:

  • provide vegetarian options every day,
  • cook with more seasonal and organic ingredients,
  • sourcing from local producers whenever possible,
  • increasing the number of homemade dishes,
  • reducing packaging waste,
  • recycling food waste,
  • minimizing food waste.

How are things going at your company cafeteria? If you think improvements are possible, you can suggest ideas to the cafeteria managers. If your company has a cafeteria committee, you can also join it!

Good to know: Some company cafeterias sell the day’s uneaten food (appetizers, main courses, desserts) in the afternoon. It’s a great way to avoid food waste and enjoy a ready-made meal for dinner!
