WE ARE THE ONLY CATERING COMPANY IN ESTONIA WITH ISO 14001 OR ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT CERTIFICATE.

Sustainability is important to us, we manage all our processes in an environmentally sustainable way, we constantly monitor our resource use and work to reduce it, we train our staff and lead by example, we sort waste into 14 types.

FOOD AND RAW MATERIALS

  • we only use eggs from Estonian chickens with the organic label. We use MSC or ASC labelled fish and fish products and preferably organic beef and lamb. In the seasonal period, our fruit and vegetables come from Estonian farmers with short delivery times. In addition, we try to maximise the use of wild products (berries, mushrooms) in the menu during the summer season. Our dairy products are of Estonian origin, and our salads, herbs and microgreens are of Estonian origin all year round and largely organic.

JOOGID

  • we only use both organic and Fairtrade coffee and tea. Most of our wine is organic. If the location and quality of the event allows, we serve tap water.

PROCESSES AND DEVELOPMENT

  • we are pioneers in environmentally sustainable catering and advise our partners and clients on this. Raise awareness of the environment and the company's activities among different stakeholders (employees, followers, consumers and the community).
  • we design menus with the principle of minimum food waste. We maximise the use of raw materials and our sales team consults the customer on food quantities.
  • monitor our resources, i.e. the use of clean water, electricity, fuel, gas and detergents, and reduce this annually by 10% to sales.
  • train our staff and work continuously to reduce the environmental footprint of our operations. We are constantly working with the team to find ways to operate in a greener way, without compromising on quality and standards.
