The National Restaurant Association announced the members of its Conserve Sustainability Advisory Council as part of a plan to help restaurateurs better understand environmental awareness and become more resource-efficient.
The advisory council is composed of members of the foodservice and allied industry, all of whom are sustainability experts in their own right. As council members, they will be tasked with sharing their education, lessons learned and best practices applied at their own businesses.
“We are pleased to announce this group of some of the most influential sustainability leaders in the foodservice industry today,” said Scott DeFife, Executive Vice President, Policy and Government Affairs, National Restaurant Association. “With sustainability becoming more integral to business operations, it is important that restaurateurs know how best to deploy cost-effective and environmentally efficient practices that will pay dividends to their operations and the communities they serve. We think this council will be an important resource in achieving that goal.”
DeFife said the Association will incorporate the council’s advice on best practices into its Conserve Sustainability Education Program to help operators incorporate the information quickly and easily into their own operations. CSEP, which currently has nearly 200 members, consists of an easy-to-use checklist that is divided into five categories and also features more than 90 industry-tested best practices and 64 educational videos demonstrating how to enact many of these best practices.
