Takeout containers and packaging contribute to a large percentage of our waste as they travel from restaurants to landfills. Help us reduce our impact on the environment by participating in our Choose to Reuse programs, Bring Your Own Mug and Reusable Eco-containers.
We have a variety of vegan and vegetarian meals in our locations across campus. These will be denoted by the “V” and “VG” logos on menu boards.
Wellness and Sustainability is an integral part our work at Hospitality Services. We recognize our ability to support the campus community in every action we take as a department. The report highlights our projects and initiatives that could not have succeeded without the collaboration of our team members and partners.
The Student Sustainability Ambassadors Program (SSAP) was born in January 2020 to break down barriers, increase collaboration, and reduce resources used for sustainability initiatives at McMaster. SSAP is a joint effort between Hospitality Services and the Academic Sustainability Program. It is meant to allow students to learn, collaborate and support each other with sustainable initiatives on campus.
The Okanagan Charter is an international charter for health promoting universities and colleges to confront increasingly complex issues related to the health, well-being and sustainability of people and the planet.
Hospitality Services understands that we are in a position of opportunity and challenge that goes beyond simply providing menu options; our actions impact on the environment.
