Healthier Catering Commitment

This is a voluntary scheme designed to support food businesses to help them make simple and affordable changes to the food they sell, to make it healthier for the customer.

Increase the amount of fruit and veg on your menu and use seasonal produce

Good quality fresh, seasonal, or culturally appropriate produce can keep customers coming back again and again knowing they can contribute to their 5- a day and healthy eating goals.

Be a London refill Location

Reduce plastic waste by allowing people to refill water at your location.

Reduce meat and Dairy

There’s no denying that the impact of meat and dairy on our planet and our health is huge as well as the fact that meat and dairy can be high in saturated fats which contribute towards heart disease and stroke.

Use Fairtrade products

Fairtrade is about better prices, decent working conditions, no child labour, fair terms of trade and a guarantee that the price paid for food will never fall lower than the market price.

Support through Community food

Having connections with your community puts you in a great position to support them around food. Read more to see some easy ways to involve the community

Be Sugar Smart

Sugar Smart Greenwich is a pledge campaign for local businesses to join, to help raise awareness of the health impact of high levels of sugar in foods and drinks and take action to reduce sugar intake.

Reduce waste. Reuse and Recycle

Your food business is capable of generating a phenomenal amount of food and non-food waste. This can lead to landfill pile-ups, water pollution and contribute to the generation of greenhouse gases

Be Breastfeeding Friendly

Getting involved means you’ll be providing a comfortable place for women to feed their babies, but you will also be helping to educate the wider community about the benefits of breastfeeding and how it is every woman’s right to be able to breastfeed in public

Use Recycled, Recyclable and/ or Compostable packaging

Reducing waste to landfill has to be a priority, and there are lots of options out there that are worth exploring

Restrict promotion of products high in fat, sugar and salt

Best practice now, is to restrict special offers to non-high fat, sugar and salt items only and analyse location of high fat, sugar, salt products

Be a London Living Employer

The Living Wage Foundation campaigns for people to be paid a fair day’s pay for a hard day’s work – a wage that means they can afford the things they need.
