Cut the emissions hiding in how your team eats

As more organisations set sustainability goals and look closely at their environmental impact, food is an area that's easy to overlook and a practical place to make a difference.

Eat Sustainably helps organisations lower the environmental impact of how their people shop, cook, cater and eat, in a way staff genuinely engage with, because the same changes make them healthier too.

 

Why food belongs in your sustainability plan

The way individuals shop, store, cook and eat accounts for an estimated 5 to 10% of greenhouse gas emissions (1), roughly equal to every car in Australia (2). It's a meaningful and often overlooked lever. Unlike a lot of sustainability work, it's visible and personal to staff, which makes it one of the easier places to get real engagement rather than box-ticking.
