World Sustainability Organization Makes 30% Plant-Based Menus Mandatory for Restaurants
The World Sustainability Organization has updated its certification standards for the foodservice industry, requiring restaurants and hotels to make 30% of all meals plant-based. This move aims to drive the hospitality industry towards offering greener menus, following the Global Sustainable Tourism Council's lead in requiring hotels to meet the same threshold.
The new standards set by the World Sustainability Organization also include requirements for higher-welfare standards for animal proteins and food waste prevention. These guidelines are mandatory for restaurants and hotels to qualify for certification, with specific targets to lower food waste and increase plant-based offerings. The hospitality industry is making significant efforts to embed food sustainability and animal welfare in certification requirements, with various companies and organizations making similar pledges to increase plant-based options on their menus.
