Last week, we celebrated a milestone in our partnership with The Alliance for Sustainable Schools (TASS) at the Sustainability Hackathon. This inspiring event brought together young innovators, educators, and sustainability leaders to tackle pressing environmental challenges and design actionable solutions for a greener future in school meal programs.
Sustainability has been at the heart of our ethos since day one. It’s not just a goal—it’s a philosophy that guides everything we do as a healthy school lunch provider and school catering company. Our partnership with TASS, which began in December 2023 during their Sustainable School Food Summit at COP28, was a natural extension of this commitment. Together, we’ve been able to amplify our impact and inspire the next generation of changemakers.
As a company deeply committed to driving sustainable change in school catering services, we were thrilled to sponsor and actively participate in this hackathon. Here’s how we contributed:
💪 Empowering Youth: We provided mentorship and resources to help participants develop innovative solutions aligned with sustainability goals and healthy eating for children.
♻️ Advocating for Change: Our team shared insights on the carbon footprint of our nutritious school meals, and our continuous steps towards sustainable practices from sourcing, producing, and delivering our meals to inspire and guide the next generation of changemakers.
💡 Celebrating Innovation: We were proud to continue to support the participating teams in their ongoing efforts towards sustainable behaviour change and balanced meals for nurseries and schools.
Key Highlights from the Event
The hackathon focused on addressing critical sustainability challenges, including:
✅ Energy Efficiency
✅ Waste Reduction
✅ Sustainable Transportation
These themes were brought to life through the Behaven Framework, which guided participants in understanding the behavioral, contextual, and social factors influencing sustainability in school food programs.
A heartfelt thank you to:
👏 The Alliance for Sustainable Schools (TASS) and Behaven for their leadership and vision in organizing this impactful event.
👏 Our fellow sponsors and partners for their shared commitment to a greener future.
👏 The participants, mentors, and volunteers who made this event a resounding success.
Sustainability has always been part of our DNA. From our earliest days to our partnership with TASS and beyond, we’ve been dedicated to creating a positive environmental impact through sustainable school catering and nutritious school meals. This hackathon was a powerful reminder of what we can achieve when we work together.
Stay tuned as we continue to support and implement the incredible ideas generated at the hackathon.
Together, we’re building a better tomorrow. Let’s keep innovating, collaborating, and acting for a sustainable future in school lunch catering!
