Sustainability Initiatives

We don’t just talk about sustainability - we take action. Check out some of the ways we're reducing our environmental impact and creating a positive impact on our community.

Working Toward Zero Waste

We proudly support the sustainability goals of the <UC Office of the President (UCOP)>. Here are a few active initiatives.

  • Robust Recycling

    We recycle cardboard, metal, paper, glass, and accepted plastic products, and we recycle uncommon items—such as batteries and printer cartridges—wherever possible.

  • Collaborative Composting

    We work with <insert composting partner> to collect organic materials—including food waste and compostable service items such as napkins and wooden stir sticks—to be composted into useable, nutrient-rich soil amendments.

  • Proactive Prevention

    We use tracking and forecasting tools to proactively identify food waste trends in order to alter our preparation accordingly.

Your Choices Can Make a Daily Impact

Our goal is to make it easy to offer you nutritious, environmentally, and socially conscious options wherever possible.
