A brief description of the sustainable food and beverage purchasing program:
UNIVERSITY DINING SERVICES
http://www.campusdish.com/en-US/CA/Alberta/Sustainability/
Aramark is the primary food service provider at the University of Alberta’s North Campus. They work to reduce their environmental footprint while delivering exceptional dining services and working to provide expertise and practical solutions to help reduce the campus’ environmental impacts.
Throughout their University Dining Services, Aramark is committed to providing foods that are produced and procured in an ecologically and socially responsible manner, and to that end are partnering with many different growers, suppliers, and distributors to increase the availability of such foods.
Some of the key points of their purchasing policy include:
- Partnering with Albertan and Canadian growers and distributors
- Promoting local with “locally grown” identifiers and seasonal menu features
- Buying local dairy products and eggs (provincial suppliers)
- Partnering with SeaChoice Canada; converting key seafood purchases to ocean friendly ecologically sustainable alternatives as per Canada’s Seafood Guide*
- Purchasing only Organic Fair Trade™ and Rainforest Alliance Certified™ coffee*
