Green Initiative

We utilize a shared commercial kitchen in Baltimore City. We are committed to composting food waste and utilizing single stream recycling. We have recently completed an efficiency audit done by The Department of Public Works, Zero Waste Future, and Baltimore City Mayors Office. We now have a Green Initiative Strategic plan which is guiding our efforts as we implement waste management, carbon footprint reduction, and maximizing sustainability as we grow. 

Here are a few steps we have already taken to reduce our footprint and increase sustainability:

• Recycling cardboard, metals, paper, and plastic

• Source Local and/or organic food and beverages when available or appropriate

• Offer sustainable fish, grass-fed beef and free-range chicken upon request

• Provide bulk servings of typical single-serve packages (such as coffee creamers, sugar, and juices) upon request

• Provide filtered water in bulk containers as an alternative to bottled water

• Use either compostable or recyclable paper goods

• Employ reusable real china service ware upon request

• Reuse buffet décor

• Source event equipment, staffing, flowers, and alcohol suppliers from local sources

• Maintain sustainable office and kitchen spaces (i.e. motion-censored lighting, LED fixtures, green cleaning products, recycled paper products in bathrooms, composting kitchen scraps)

• Donate leftover foods to a local food bank

• Compost all food scraps and coffee grounds

• Execute zero waste events upon request

• Provide all applicable waste to biofuel recycling programs
