Menu and More AG has been awarded the "GREEN BRANDS Switzerland" label
Menu and More AG was the first catering provider in Switzerland to be awarded the "GREEN BRANDS Switzerland" quality seal. The independent "GREEN BRANDS" organization thus recognizes the ecological and sustainable actions of the Zurich SME.
Menu and More AG is a pioneer in the field of sustainability: the dairy products used, the processed free-range eggs and the meat and poultry come exclusively from Switzerland. In addition, no air goods are used. The proportion of processed organic and/or fair trade products is currently over 20 percent. Seasonal menu components are clearly marked on the menu plan. Furthermore, "menuandmore" uses only healthy Swiss rapeseed oil and no products containing palm oil. This makes it the first completely palm oil-free catering provider in Switzerland.
"GREEN BRANDS" is an international seal of quality that recognizes companies that make a significant contribution to the protection of the environment, nature and the climate. "GREEN BRANDS" produce in an environmentally friendly manner, always act with regard to their own co-responsibility for the preservation of natural resources and are highly committed to the preservation and balance of nature as well as sustainability.
"For us, the label is a recognition of our corporate culture and an incentive to push our sustainability efforts even further. As a catering provider of lunch tables for children and young people, we bear a great responsibility that we take very seriously. We are delighted to be officially a 'GREEN BRAND'," explains Markus Daniel, Managing Director of Menu and More AG.
The commitment is exemplary
Even the cooling of the latest transport vehicles is supported by solar cells. The published sustainability reports, which transparently reflect the commitment also with regard to CSR, resource consumption, the level of emissions and waste as well as climate neutrality, have already received several awards and prizes. All these measures have convinced the "GREEN BRANDS" jury.
How to become a "GREEN BRAND"?
Each nominated company, each brand must demonstrate its sustainable commitment. The questions range from the company's purpose to the application of environmental management and CSR to concrete information on resource consumption, emissions and waste. The level of awareness within the company itself, communication with customers and suppliers is also recorded. The aim of the autonomous and independent brand assessment organization is to use the sophisticated validation process to give politicians and the population in the EU and the respective country an indication of how companies handle the natural resources entrusted to them, i.e. how they live up to their responsibility for sustainability. Since 2011, the "GREEN BRANDS" label has been identifying sustainable brands, companies, and also products according to scientifically controlled criteria. It helps consumers to make ecologically oriented purchasing decisions.
