How Nutritious School Meals Can Help the Planet: Leela’s Lunches and Carbon Labelling

The food choices we make every day have a bigger impact on the planet than many of us realize. 🌱 As a healthy school lunch provider, we know that every menu decision matters for both children’s health and the environment.

Through our partnership with Klimato, we’ve been able to dig deeper into the carbon footprint of different foods—and the results are eye-opening. Today, we’re sharing some of the most interesting facts we’ve learned about how various menu items in our nutritious school meals contribute to climate change.

These insights have inspired us to make meaningful changes to our school lunch catering, like replacing our Turkey Cheese Croissant with a lower-impact alternative—a decision guided by Klimato’s grading system and featured in our recent The Alliance for Sustainable Schools (TASS) case study.

By making more informed choices and encouraging behaviour change, we can all play a part in reducing our carbon footprint, one meal at a time. As a school catering company committed to sustainable school catering, we believe in the power of data-driven decisions to create a positive impact.
