Our food choices can have a big impact on the planet. In line with the EAT-Lancet’s recommendations about a planet-friendly diet, we are helping to rebalance menus celebrating fruits, vegetables and other plants in our plant-forward offerings.
Adopting a plant-forward diet, where plant-based products are the principal ingredients, is one of the simplest steps an individual can take to lower their personal carbon footprint. Consumer demand for plant-based meals is on the rise and we continue to expand our offer of healthy, plant-based menu items. We are also engaging, educating and exciting consumers to make positive choices, as well as nudging behavioural change through choice design techniques.
Our strategy is guided globally but implemented according to local consumer preferences and value chain approaches.
Inspiring kids to choose plant-based in USA
A chef-led commitment from our Chartwells K12 team in Rhode Island, which serves 23 school districts in the state, has encouraged kids to choose new and exciting plant-based foods. A committed team of chefs, cooks, and food service colleagues participated in multi-day training and culinary events to create recipes that emphasise plants and employ seasonal and local ingredients.
