Environmental Defense Fund & Restaurant Associates: Green Dining Best Practices

Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) and Restaurant Associates (RA) partnered to develop the Green Dining Best Practices a comprehensive set of science-based recommendations for environmentally friendly foodservice. The Best Practices focus on aspects of the foodservice and restaurant industry with the biggest environmental impacts, including food purchasing, facility operation, packaging, transportation of food, and the use of toxic cleaning chemicals. The best practices provide clear, objective, science-based advice for dining managers and chefs to make smart choices in their kitchens to improve environmental performance. Early results at two of Restaurant Associates client sites - Hearst Corporation and Random House - showed that the best practices can achieve significant environmental results and be cost effective.
