Sustainability is not just a trend any more — it has become a raised bar in so many aspects of work and life, including in catering and hospitality. As companies get greener, they look for vendors and suppliers who share their values. Of course, in the realm of Corporate catering proposals will need to be more than just great menus and a focus on stellar service. Our customers today want to see sustainable preferences in the complete concept of their B2B events. From sinks to food to waste, sustainability is now a major factor in winning lasting contracts to cater events.
At CaterVine, we believe in keeping pace with the changing needs for eco-friendly customers. That's why our Corporate Catering presentations put sustainable practices at the forefront, so businesses can put on outstanding events without having negative consequences for our planet.
Your proposed catering business plan can also gear towards sustainability through one of the most effective ways which is pointing out how the use of eco-friendly packaging will be employed in your plan. Common single-use plastics are now being replaced by biodegradable, compostable, or recyclable alternatives. Whether its plant-based cutlery, rolled rim paper straws or compostable food containers, choosing green packaging sends a statement about your brand's responsibility to the planet.
The other critical point that is necessary to include in a proposal is providing locally and seasonally sourced products." This not only minimizes bombardment of carbon footprint from food transportation but also helps local farmers while improving on the freshness of the served food. By displaying connections with local producers, you also get to add authenticity, not to mention show everyone you have gone the extra mile to work towards a more sustainable food supply chain.
Planning for the reduction of waste should also be visible from all Corporate Catering proposals. This incorporates ideas such as portion planning to avoid food leftover excess, donating leftovers to charities in their local areas, and utilizing composting or recycling systems at their events. These are the sort of sustainable actions that demonstrate how a caterer can use resources responsibly to assist its clients achieve their own sustainability goals.
Enlisting the best-rated, city-serving caterers and restaurants such as CaterVine, assures customers that they won't have to sacrifice quality in order to hold a socially responsible event.

In conclusion
We think that sustainability should now have a place in those Corporate Catering proposals not only because it's the right thing to do — but because it's the smart thing to do to meet the demands of the business people of today. Sustainable packaging, ingredients (sourced locally), and waste reducing practices make caterers stand and deliver in a competitive market.
