Ethical Sustainability
We aim to be conscious caterers operating to a Standard Local, organic & Fairtrade where ever possible. All our food is locally sourced and in season for all vegetables and local meat and fish.
We use biodegradable products and recycled plates and cutlery and recycle all of our own waste providing appropriate bins with our set up.
Sustainability Policy
Together our cooks promote the physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing of the community, and our customers by trading without the exploitation of our employees, the planet and ourselves, to create a more sustainable future.
MCC Collective recognise their responsibility to the environment and publish this policy to show their commitment to the protection of the environment. It is the aim of MCC to provide its customers with safe and environmentally friendly surroundings. We will carry out all of our company's activities and objectives in an environmentally responsible manner. We have recognised that through our activities we inevitably impact on the environment. We consider that our main causes of concern arise from the use of energy, consumption of consumables and waste production. To address these impacts we have developed the following policy:
Energy
MCC is concerned with alternative energy sources and not wasting our supply.
We conserve energy where possible through insulation, purchasing energy efficient equipment, fixtures and fittings, turning off machines and equipment when not in use, and using energy saving settings on printers, computers, and photocopiers.
Encourage to heat our premises in the most efficient way and to use power from renewable, non-clear sources.
Water
MCC realises the importance of this natural resource to all operations as being crutial.
We encourage staff and volunteers to minimise water use by washing up crockery and kitchen equipment in batches using a bowl
Encourage staff and volunteers to purchase equipment which minimises water use
Encouraging those responsible for the building to repair equipment/fittings which are wasting water as quickly as possible and to purchase equipment which minimises water use e.g. low flush toilets
Transport
MCC vehicles run on bio-diesel fuel alternatives.
Encourage staff and others to travel by public transport, legs, or bicycle when travelling to and from we also supply bicycles through our recycling project to all active members.
