How we set the Green Kitchen Standard
The Green Kitchen Standard has been years in the making, drawing on our expert technical advice and further improved by an extensive pilot stage where we tested the methodology in a number of working catering environments. The process ensures that the Green Kitchen Standard reflects best practice requirements in carbon, energy, water and waste, specifically tailored to caterers, whilst still being practical and achievable.
The Green Kitchen Standard has also been aligned with the Resource Efficiency section of DEFRA’s Balanced Scorecard for the benefit of public sector caterers.
