Too Good to Go is helping us reduce our food waste!
Cavendish Venues, a group of London Conference Venues, is proud to announce our partnership with Too Good to Go, the world's largest marketplace for surplus food. This innovative solution helps us address the persistent challenge of food waste in the hospitality industry.
Tackling Food Waste in Conferences
The hospitality sector contributes significantly to food waste, accounting for approximately 12% of all food waste. At Cavendish Venues, we often face the dilemma of over-catering by up to 20% for conferences due to uncertainties in attendance and dietary preferences. We are continuing to reduce our London conference venues' food waste.
Our Quest to Reduce our Environmental Impacts
Our 25 year quest to reduce our environmental impacts to become more sustainable. This is part of our ongoing quest to reduce our environmental impacts, examples include our zero land fill policy, localisation of supplier base, 100% carbon offsetting.
