FoodServiceEurope signs today the Code of Conduct for Responsible Business and Marketing Practices, marking the contract catering sector’s commitment to more sustainable food systems.

FoodServiceEurope is determined to contribute to improving the sector’s performance and the provision of healthy and increasingly sustainable meals to clients and consumers. We thus strongly endorse the aspirational objectives and targets listed in this Code.

We recognise the important role the sector can play in further improving the sustainability of our food systems – notably by leveraging contract catering companies’ direct contact with consumers and improving their internal processes. FoodServiceEurope is thus committed to taking on the responsibilities listed in the Code of Conduct for European Associations, including to actively promoting the Code of Conduct among our membership to help accelerate the journey of our sector in the right direction and to report annually on our activities in this area.

We are also determined to continue to be an engaged stakeholder going forward and to participate in the continuous dialogue with other food chain/system actors and EU and international policy-makers to discuss progress towards our common aspirations.

In our engagement, we also look to the European Commission for continuous support and leadership in the process going forward, as set out in the Farm to Fork Strategy.
