Recent research from apetito and Care England reveals that while 92% of care homes see sustainability as important to their strategy or values, 44% of those surveyed say they need more external support and guidance on the area.
In a move to address this gap and help care homes drive action and bring fresh thinking across day-to-day operations, apetito has launched a brand-new guide on environmental sustainability, A Greener Future: Navigating Sustainability in Care Homes, packed full of insightful information and guidance.
This FREE resource aims to pave the way towards more sustainable operations by delving into areas such as best practice for cutting down food waste, reducing running costs by having a more energy efficient home, and making small menu switches that can deliver big carbon reductions.
Readers will also learn about the growing regulatory landscape in this space and discover how apetito’s pioneering closed-loop recycling scheme for meal trays is driving measurable impact for its partnering care homes.
James Leigh, General Manager for Care Homes at apetito spoke on the launch of his new guide:
“At apetito, sustainability is at the heart of how we do business, and we are passionate about supporting care homes, and the sector at large, on the journey towards a more sustainable future.
“With the launch of this guide, A Greener Future: Navigating Sustainability in Care Homes, we want to provide homes with the insight and confidence to take meaningful action and show that it is possible to deliver exceptional care for residents while achieving lasting sustainability – without it costing the earth.” To download your copy of the guide for free, visit https://apetito.link/CH-Sustainability-Guide
