How Large-Scale Caterers Can Cut Costs and Carbon

Large-scale caterers can reduce costs and carbon emissions by focusing on plant-based catering options for international events, as shown by recent high-profile events such as the Paris Olympic Games and the COP28 UN Climate Change Conference in Dubai. Plant-based meals are not only popular and cost-effective, but they also accommodate diverse dietary needs and are more environmentally friendly.

Thoughtful menu design, training catering teams to create appealing plant-based dishes, and implementing subtle nudges towards low-impact choices are key strategies for success in large-scale plant-based catering. By prioritizing sustainability in their catering strategies, events can lead by example and make a powerful statement on the importance of reducing the environmental impact of food systems on a global scale. Resources are available from ProVeg International for caterers looking to implement plant-based catering options at their events.
