LinkedIn Headquarters Goes Mostly Plant-Based To Reduce Carbon Footprint

LinkedIn has converted the menu at its San Francisco headquarters to mostly plant-based options, working with Good Eating Company and Greener by Default (GBD). This change resulted in a 65% plant-based menu, with cow’s milk being replaced by oat alternatives as the default option. While meat dishes are still served, they are limited, with the most carbon-intensive meats included in only one dish per week.

GBD's program gradually replaced meat items with plant-based options over several months and found success in offering popular dishes that were veganized. This shift in menu composition was positively received by LinkedIn employees, prompting plans to introduce the same changes in other LinkedIn campus locations. GBD, known for working with clients across various industries, promotes plant-based food as a sustainable, cost-effective, and inclusive choice to reduce carbon footprints and improve overall health.
