Sustainable events

a sustainable event, according to the united nations environment program (unep), is one that is planned, organized and implemented in a way that minimizes negative environmental, social and economic impacts, and leaves a positive legacy in the host community.

CREATING RESPONSIBLE EVENTS

At GAU Catering we specialize in the conceptualization and creation of sustainable events.

We understand sustainability as an obligation and responsibility of all, perfectly compatible with the creation of events that generate value and impact.

What will you find in any GAU Catering service?

Envases biodegradables

We have implemented the use of biodegradable and compostable packaging for food presentation and handling. We minimize the use of plastic.

Zero cardboard

We raise awareness among our suppliers so that they make deliveries with fewer boxes or with containers that can be reused.

Proximity product, zero km, seasonality

When designing our proposals and menus, we preferably look for suppliers or local and seasonal products (Parc Agrari del Baix Llobregat, local producers…).

Local wines

The wine list and menus have been designed giving prominence to local wines, cooperatives and environmentally friendly wineries.

Special diets

We have incorporated special diets in our proposals, sensitizing our team and encouraging inclusion in the menus.

THERE IS NO PLAN B

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) warns countries around the world: we must change the way we produce and consume food if we want to protect the planet and stop climate change.

Sustainable transportation

The replacement of company vehicles with sustainable transportation has begun.

Individual desserts

We have adapted the format to glass cups instead of plastic and in individual portion format, to promote no waste and reduce waste.

Reduction of food waste

Measures have been implemented to reduce food wastage among personnel and equipment by reducing food portions and encouraging the option of carrying leftover food in “tuppers”.

Waste management

We separate all waste in a space provided with bins of different colors.

Conscious minutes or in QR format

It is difficult to give a second life to event stationery, so we decided to create as little impact as possible.

Water dispenser for employees

Refillable “GAU There is no plan B” bottles or their names on glasses are available.

Reducing food waste, the return to authenticity and local foods are setting a new course in the sector.
