12. Ensure sustainable consumption and production
Every day, we serve lunch for thousands of people and, in addition to our kitchens, clean in hundreds of companies and institutions.

We aim to help preserve and ensure the sustainable use of the world’s oceans and resources. Therefore, we have carefully selected our suppliers who guarantee sustainable fishing practices. We ensure that our purchases and menus contribute to the protection of marine ecosystems.
15. Protect, restore, and support sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, combat desertification, halt land degradation, and halt biodiversity loss
By prioritizing local and organic ingredients, we aim to become even greener over time and contribute to a sustainable future. Therefore, we make a significant effort to promote sustainable initiatives in our canteens.

We work closely with local producers, NGOs, and other stakeholders to develop and implement sustainable solutions. Through these partnerships, we aim to have a positive impact on society and the environment. Together, we can achieve more and ensure a better future for all.
