This catering company in German-speaking Switzerland with around 50 employees had already successfully implemented various measures in the areas of supplier selection and fleet electrification. Due to its positioning as a sustainability pioneer, the company decided to systematise its commitment to sustainability and set itself measurable targets. The subsequent analysis showed the greatest potential in increasing the proportion of vegetarian and vegan orders and in reducing food waste.
