We have been awarded the top award of Three Stars from the Sustainable Restaurants Association (SRA) for our sustainable practices such as reducing single use plastic waste and their on-going work with the wider community.
As part of Restaurant Associates Climate Net Zero commitment by 2030, the team have been putting a lot of work in towards our long-term and ongoing goals. We are reducing our carbon footprint but also our environmental impact. Some of the successful initiatives include CauliBox - a reusable food container scheme, collaborating with WasteKnot to rescue surplus vegetables from industry waste streams, and celebrating local & seasonal produce, by sourcing 90% of our fresh produce locally in the UK
At Oliver’s, we believe food is far too valuable to waste.That’s why we’ve made it our priority to reduce food waste across every part of our operations. From smart kitchen practices to mindful menu planning, we’re constantly looking for practical and creative ways to make a difference.
Each year, we proudly celebrate Stop Food Waste Day - a global movement to spotlight this important issue and share actionable steps we can all take to waste less and do more for the planet.
Did you know that if food waste was a country it would be the third largest green gas emission producing country in the world?
