Sustainability
At Saluministi, we are committed to both minimizing food waste and adopting sustainable packaging practices to make a substantial impact on our environment and community. We recognize sustainability as our moral obligation and a core part of our identity.
Our Commitment
At Saluministi, we are committed to:
1. Food Waste Reduction: We view food waste as a global issue and pledge to do our part. We diligently manage our inventory, employ precise portion control, and actively seek opportunities to donate surplus food to staff and local charities. Our goal is to reach zero food waste.
2. Sustainable Packaging: We are committed to using environmentally friendly packaging materials throughout our operations. Our takeout containers, cutlery, and packaging are carefully selected to be recyclable, compostable, or reusable, reducing our reliance on single-use plastics.
3. Responsible Sourcing: Although Italian at heart, we prioritise sourcing fresh ingredients locally, emphasising suppliers who uphold sustainable and ethical practices. This includes using free range or organic meats and vegetables where possible. We aim to minimize food miles and support local farmers and artisans.
4. Waste Reduction: Beyond food waste, we focus on reducing overall waste, both in terms of food and packaging. Our practices emphasize reusability, recycling, and composting, with a continual drive to lessen our environmental footprint.
5. Education and Engagement: We empower our staff to champion sustainability in their daily activities and encourage them to actively contribute to our sustainability efforts. We are committed to educating our customers on the importance of sustainable choices and providing guidance on responsible disposal of packaging.
3. Supplier Collaboration: We actively collaborate with suppliers who share our sustainability values, emphasizing the use of sustainable packaging materials and sourcing locally when possible.
4. Continuous Improvement: We continually evaluate and enhance our sustainability practices, keeping pace with industry advancements and best practices.
