The larger issue of sustainability is as complex as it is daunting, and contemplating how to address it can be stressful. It is, however, easier to address when broken down into simpler components. Food waste and how it is managed is one of these components. Since food waste is a huge problem in the hotel industry and it’s also negatively affecting the environment, it’s crucial to find a solution to minimise food waste. In fact, according to the World Wildlife Fund, the hospitality industry wastes about 1.6 billion metric tons of food waste per year. Hotels can actively manage portion sizes by closely monitoring guest preferences and adjusting serving sizes accordingly. This involves collecting feedback, analyzing consumption patterns, and optimizing menu options to minimize overproduction and wasted food. Implementing precise portion control not only reduces food waste but also contributes to cost savings and environmental sustainability. Now the real question goes out to my peers, What are the different ways hotels can prevent food waste? Comment below!

In our vibrant restaurant industry, a new norm is taking shape - Sustainability. It's more than just a buzzword; it's the future we are passionately working towards for our small businesses. From mindful sourcing and energy conservation to reducing food waste and promoting recycling, sustainable practices aren't just good for the environment, they make great business sense as well. While eco-friendly measures may initially seem like additional investments, they often lead to overall cost savings in the long term. But more importantly, they present an opportunity for us to contribute to a greater cause, to make a meaningful impact beyond the confines of our restaurants. Each green step we take brings us closer to a future we'll be proud to pass onto the next generation. On this journey towards sustainability, every effort counts, every initiative matters. Let's be the change today for a better tomorrow. #Sustainability #RestaurantIndustry #GreenBusiness #EcoFriendly #FoodServiceIndustry

In October 2023 we welcomed our new Sustainability Co-Ordinator Nieves Lovatt, Bsc Hons to the Wellocks team. As today marks the launch of our first Sustainability Report, we'd like to introduce you to Nieves as she shares more about her role and sustainability at Wellocks. “I joined Wellocks back in October as the Sustainability Co-Ordinator and the key focuses within my role are currently plastics, emissions, labelling, food waste, community support and traceability. Our journey towards sustainability is an extremely exciting one, ensuring that we are doing the best we can as a business or have a plan to get there. We see that sustainability is at the front and centre of what we do, working closely with producers and chefs. For us sustainability means much more than just reducing our carbon emissions to hit targets, it is about supporting a resilient supply chain, one which can continue to provide nutrient rich products at the same outstanding quality for years to come. Chefs are in a brilliant position to support change within the food industry, with the ability to drive trends and help navigate the direction of the food and hospitality sector to that of a sustainable one. Working collaboratively with a shared commitment we can create a powerful mechanism to protect the patchwork landscape here in the UK, as well as the rest of the world. Hitting that sweet spot of meeting the needs of the moment and ensuring the next generation of chefs can continue to enjoy the seeds we sow. Releasing our sustainability report is a positive step in our sustainability journey, sharing the brilliant work colleagues across the business have contributed to over the past year. Further highlighting where we will be focusing our resources on for this next financial year and holding us accountable to continue to make an impact to our supply chain.” Read our Sustainability Report here > https://bit.ly/3QY5jQY #sustainability #sustainabilityreport
