Continuing to incorporate sustainability practices across our business is a crucial step towards reducing environmental impact. We are passionate about continuing to educate ourselves, pushing Juniper & Co. into become as carbon neutral as possible.
At Juniper & Co., we are committed to conducting our business in as much of an environmentally responsible and sustainable manner as possible: we share in the global concern for our planet’s future, and recognise the impact the catering industry has on the environment. At every point of our operating practises, we strive to minimise those ramifications through continuous improvement, innovation and education.
Operating with the future in mind
We're always looking at ways to minimise food waste, which extends beyond accurate portion control and ordering. We get creative with our leftovers: herbs and stalks make delicious oils for garnish plates, leftover bread can be transformed into crunchy toppings, and wonky vegetables become ferments and pickles… the list goes on!
Sustainable Catering
We work with the best suppliers to ensure as much produce as possible is locally sourced, in season, and happens across as few deliveries as possible.
We have worked hard to choose suppliers who share our commitment to sustainability, the environment, and our ethical catering practices.
Sourcing & Procurement
Biodegradable, compostable and plant-based packaging is our bag, and we always look to educate about the importance of waste separation and recycling.
Supplier boxes are returned upon delivery and we’ve invested in washable, mid-density polypropylene cold boxes for transporting chilled food.
We’ve established a comprehensive waste management program, which includes recycling and composting initiatives. We also work hard to ensure that all our team are properly educated on waste disposal.
Waste oils and fats are collected by Quatra from our East London kitchen, and then recycled for biodiesel.
Improvement, innovation & education
At every point of our business, we are considering the impact we have on the wider community and ecological footprint we are leaving behind. We will never stop looking at ways to improve, and we commit to regularly assessing and reviewing our sustainability performance. If there’s something you think we could be doing more or less of, please let us know — we are always learning.
Continuous Improvement
We are always looking at ways to make our kitchen more efficient in its energy consumption, and are investing more and more in energy-efficient kitchen equipment and appliances. We also ensure that we implement energy-saving practices, such as turning off equipment when not in use, and optimising kitchen workflows to reduce energy consumption.
This also applies to water conservation, as well as transportation. We are always on the move, but we work hard to optimise our routes to minimise fuel consumption.
