We're working with over 10 restaurant partners in London to trial carbon labelling, to help increase awareness of the carbon impact of food at work. The trial builds on Just Eat’s previous work on carbon labelling, with a new focus on corporate customers.
The next phase of the trial will help show companies how they can make more climate conscious choices with the food they're ordering for their employees, as well as helping restaurant partners to understand the environmental impact of the food they are offering team members.
Our recent carbon impact survey shows the importance of strong sustainable values within businesses, with 91% of employees* saying that their business’ values play an important part in their employee wellbeing. Nearly half of respondents also said that they consider the environmental impact of the food they’re ordering into the office every time.
Matt Ephgrave, Managing Director at Just Eat for Business: “Exploring ways to minimise our environmental impact remains an important topic for us, and we believe extending this to also support our independent restaurant partners on their sustainability journey is key. Through this carbon labelling trial, we aim to help our restaurant partners better understand the carbon impact that their food options have whilst also empowering workers to make more climate conscious food decisions."
Matthew Isaacs, Co-Founder of My Emissions: “We’re looking forward to continuing our partnership with Just Eat into the next phase of their carbon labelling trial. Just Eat for Business offers another opportunity to learn more about how our carbon labels can impact a variety of customers' choices and increase awareness of the impact of carbon emissions in the food industry.”
Aadit Shankar, Founder & Director of Atcha: “We’re really pleased to be involved in this project to learn more about the carbon impact of the ingredients in our food as well as supporting our customers in making more climate conscious food choices. It will also help us gain insights into the preferences of our customers, as we know that they value transparency when it comes to sustainability.”
*Carbon Impact Survey conducted by Just Eat for Business surveyed 127 London-based employees in August 2023.
