‘CEE’ The Peake of Catering sustainability initiative in action.
Community
We are dedicated to all stakeholders in our community. This includes providing our clients with an exemplary catering experience in a responsible way. Peake’s outreach program to the local community includes giving back to sports charities, schools, and a variety of non-profit organizations. Within the organization, Peake of Catering practices affirmative action hiring, fair employment standards, and working with the disabled to hire from within all aspects of the community.
Environment
Peake of Catering has invested a lot of resources to this particular area; while our program is ongoing, this is what we have accomplished so far:
- Locally sourced products: wherever possible, we source all of our products locally to lessen the impact of pollution and energy consumption
- Reduce, Re-use and Recycle – Peake of Catering is committed to recycling all waste; including paper, cardboard, metal, plastics, glass and food compost
- Water saving fixtures – our water fixtures have recently been replaced in conjunction with One Day Vancouver (Sustainability branch of the City of Vancouver) with low flow, more efficient fixtures to reduce water and energy consumption.
- Energy efficient appliances – appliances have been and are being replaced with more eco-friendly energy efficient appliances
- Green Vehicles – our on-going commitment is to replace company vehicles in the future with hybrid vehicles
- Disposables – we use only 100% recyclable products for disposables and have replaced disposable plastic trays with re-usable baskets for our clients to keep at no additional charge; we encourage our clients to rent dishware to lessen the impact of paper waste
- Working in conjunction with Terasen gas we are improving the efficiency of our gas consumption
- Working with BC Hydro we are replacing all light fixtures to more energy efficient fixtures
- Organic Menus – we are able to provide our clients with Organic options – please note, organic pricing is at a premium over regular menu items
