As the climate and biodiversity crises worsen, customers grow ever more concerned about sustainability and environmental legislation tightens across the globe, it’s never been more important for businesses to put written commitments in place. Building sustainability into your governance and policies solidifies your commitment to operating in ways that are environmentally restorative and socially responsible.
While environmental policies might be first to mind when you think of sustainability, social impact carries just as much weight. It matters how restaurants and other food businesses interact with their employees, customers, communities and suppliers; having policies in place to steer this is important.
