Sustainable food and drink

As outlined in the College Sustainability Strategy 2021-26, Catering plays a central role in the transition of our campuses to more sustainable spaces. To guide this, we developed our first Sustainable Food & Drink Policy in October 2022, placing sustainability at the core of the decisions we make on the food and drink we serve.

We've now drafted an updated policy to cover then next five academic years, and are circulating the draft for community feedback. You can find the draft document here: Draft Sustainable Food Policy 2025-30

If you have any thoughts or feedback, we'd love to hear them! You can fill out our feedback form here, and we will report on the feedback we recieve and how it shaped our next steps in our final policy.

The policy, led by the College’s in-house catering team, Taste Imperial, applies to all outlets, restaurants, bars and stores on-campus. It guides the menus we develop, how we procure our food and equipment and how we increase awareness on how what we eat impacts the environment.
