The Food Made Good Standard is the world’s biggest sustainability certification designed especially for foodservice businesses of all sizes and shapes, and takes a holistic approach to what sustainability should mean, across three pillars: Sourcing, Society and Environment. Achieving the Standard means a F&B business is not only reducing carbon emissions, water use and waste, but also treating its staff fairly, supporting its community and driving positive change throughout its supply chains by making considered, responsible procurement choices.
This is critical work for any F&B business. Foodservice has an enormous impact on our environment — responsible for huge volumes of food waste, water use and carbon emissions, and with the power to influence how food is both produced and consumed. Employing millions, both directly and through the supply chain, the actions of the industry have significant social implications, too.
Universities feed a plethora of people every day, from students to faculty and other staff members; this means that they have a particularly big responsibility to ensure that their impact is positive on both people and planet. We currently have 22 universities across the UK certified by the Food Made Good Standard, and we look forward to welcoming more on board in 2025.
