October 12, 2023

Cavendish Venues

Another way to take the heat out of inflation, is to take the meat out of your diet. Choose a conference venue vegetarian-only delegate rate and we will not charge any increase – but this isn’t just about saving the pennies. Here at Cavendish, we are keen to promote sustainability and are increasingly mindful of taking a low-carbon approach to all aspects of our business. And going vegetarian, has distinct environmental benefits.

‍

‍The Vegetarian Society state that a veggie diet uses 2.5 times less carbon than a meat diet – or to put it another way, by eating vegetarian food for a year you could save the same amount of C02 emissions as a family taking a small car off the road for 6 months.With 85% of the world’s fisheries classified as seriously over-fished and more agricultural land being used to raise cattle than all other crops combined, going vegetarian will help restore our planet.

Reducing Food Waste in the Meeting & Event sector

There are a lot of organisations based in London and the surrounding areas aimed at preventing food wastage. Green Oak Solutions estimates that an astonishing 15 million tonnes of food waste is generated every year, including 7.2 million tonnes from households. Here at Cavendish Venues we continue to build our position as London’s leading sustainable conference and meeting venues. We are looking at how we can reduce food waste within our company by donating to local homeless shelters and food cycle organisations.Food Cycle gives people in local communities’ access to nutritious food that they would otherwise be unable to obtain for reasons such as lack of income or knowledge of healthy nutrition. Surplus packaged or tinned foods from supermarkets combined with free kitchen space and volunteers keep the organisation growing.Crisis is a charity that aims to help homeless people across the UK. It provides housing, education, employment and food to those who need it. Due to health and safety regulations Crisis is unable to accept food donations that are not packaged, tinned or contained with a sell by date.Bio Collectors is a waste food service that collects food from your select location and takes it to a special processing plant where it is treated and used for horticultural purposes, a highly valuable addition to fertilisers. With the health and safety regulations restraining our ability to donate certain excess food, recycling our waste would be an environmentally beneficial option that will help to improve our Green Conference policies.
