Green Philosophy | Simply Elegant

Simply Elegant’s Green Initiative

There’s no point being a premiere events and catering company if we’ve run out of planet to live on. So we take our responsibility to the environment very seriously.

Here are some of the ways we work towards sustainability:

FOOD

We support and purchase from local food products and suppliers
We use organic vegetables where possible
90% of the meat we purchase is from Alberta, including free range fed chickens and turkeys
25% of all produce we purchase is grown locally in the Pacific NW
90% of the fruit we buy comes from North America

DISPOSABLE PRODUCTS

We provide biodegradable disposable cocktail and lunch plates
We provide “green” cutlery at client’s request
Since 1996, we’ve used chaffing dishes (not tinfoil) for all hot food
We use plastic platters, which are sanitized and reused, instead of disposable ones
Our food is presented on china by request

WE RECYCLE

All cardboard and office paper products
Kitchen cooking oil
Bottles and cans with proceeds being donated to local community groups

TRANSPORTATION

Straight line food delivery for “green routing” to specific downtown corporate buildings to reduce fuel consumption, minimize vehicle exhaust plus conserve gas

MAINTENANCE PROGRAM

Strict maintenance programs for delivery vehicles
Kitchen freezers, fridges
Air conditioner units

We’re glad a healthier environment matters to you too. Thanks for wanting to know more about our green philosophy. We’ll keep striving to find new ways to lessen our footprint on the planet.
