Taking responsibility for a sustainable future

One of the biggest challenges of our era is providing sustainable nutrition for the world’s population of more than eight billion while respecting the limitations of our planet. That is why we support the goals of the Planetary Health Diet which was developed in 2019 by a commission of 37 respected experts in the fields of health, agriculture, political science and environmental protection. 

A fundamental shift towards sustainable nutrition is essential. It is our benchmark and the goal we pursue every day.

Food production is responsible for around 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions. To ensure greater transparency and encourage ethical food consumption, we use a sustainability labelling system (traffic light system) for the dishes on our menus. We communicate these values clearly to our guests via the Klüh Catering app.

Our climate-friendly loyalty programme on the Klüh Catering app rewards our guests, at the same time fostering environmentally conscious behaviour.

Our goal is to reduce food waste by as much as 25% by 2025. Using target-based monitoring and smart waste measurement, our AI waste management is an automated solution for improving waste reduction processes. 

This works very simply. A camera equipped with AI-based image recognition technology identifies all food waste on the plates. In just 0.2 seconds, the web-based waste analysis tool identifies what and how much has been left on the plate – whether it is schnitzel, peas or salad. The data are evaluated and displayed clearly in a dashboard, making it possible to define measures to optimise menus and reduce the amount of product used.

Through our partnership with Vytal, we offer an innovative and environmentally friendly waste avoidance solution. In Germany, disposable tableware and packaging produces a waste mountain of 254,000 tonnes each year – equivalent to 13.3 million items of disposable packaging. Working with Vytal, we have been actively addressing this problem since 2021. Vytal’s digital multiuse system enables our canteens to offer a customer-friendly waste avoidance solution that is ready to be rolled out across Germany.

As a company sponsor of the Blühende Landschaft network, we are supporting three trees and 30 square meters of flowering border in 2025. In autumn, 30 meters of hedge will also be planted. Flowering trees such as rowan, field maple and walnut are important for biodiversity. They provide food and habitat and promote stable ecosystems. A flowering border creates retreats and food sources for animals. Hedges serve as winter quarters, hiding places and food sources for numerous species. An adjacent border further enhances this habitat - for example as food for over 300 species of wild bees. Flower-rich landscapes are the basis for healthy ecosystems in which animals and humans benefit from each other.
