Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We are constantly working to reduce our environmental footprint by making conscious choices in our daily operations. In our energy-efficient production kitchen in Monster, we use state-of-the-art equipment. In addition, we pay close attention to waste reduction and separation. By carefully sorting materials and minimizing waste, we actively contribute to a cleaner and more responsible work environment. We are also strongly committed to reducing food waste. We do this, among other things, by working with fixed menus. This allows us to consistently purchase the same ingredients, use them optimally, and minimize leftovers.
In this way, we combine quality with responsibility and, step by step, contribute to a more sustainable future.
At CateringMeesters, we believe that real impact starts with our ingredients, which is why we source them as thoughtfully as possible. Whenever possible, we choose local and seasonal products. For example, we use organic bread from Menno and create seasonal dishes such as our gazpacho made with Westland tomatoes or a red velvet cake made with Westland strawberries. We also partner with De Koekfabriek, a social enterprise that employs people who face barriers to the labor market. In this way, we combine quality, local, and seasonal products with socially responsible sourcing.
We strive to be an employer for everyone. That is why we offer work experience placements to people receiving Wajong benefits: young people with a disability who, with the right support, can successfully participate in the work process. In addition, we mentor students from the Bernardus School, children in special education who have the opportunity to gain work experience and discover their talents with us. In this way, we build an inclusive and engaged work environment every day.
We believe in giving back. That’s why we donate Made Blue water, helping to provide access to clean drinking water worldwide. We also support charities such as the Dutch Cancer Society (KWF Kankerbestrijding) and the CliniClowns Foundation. This is our way of making a difference.
