In addition to offering high-quality food, we also set ourselves the goal of operating sustainably. Not only do we work in an energy-efficient and (food) waste-reducing way, but we also use environmentally friendly materials and high-quality food.
Since July 2019, Erste Campus has been certified organic by Austria Bio Garantie, which regularly carries out unannounced checks of standards in the EBR. This also means that organic products can and must be labelled as such.
The George Deli & Café menus indicate all organic foods used in the dishes.
We offer organic & fair trade coffee from the “Alt Wien Kaffee” brand to support farmers. 80% of coffee is produced by 25 million smallholder families who own less than 10 hectares of land. Many live on less than US$2 (PPP) a day, often in remote areas, and face multiple challenges. FAIRTRADE is a holistic concept that helps smallholder families to break out of this spiral.
At George Deli & Café we offer ORGANIC and FAIRTRADE coffee from the “ALT WIEN KAFFEE” brand.
For us, sustainability is also diversity. Employees from over 29 nations strive every day in our restaurants and canteens for your well-being. A colorful team of women and men, different religions and different age groups contribute to your well-being in front of and behind the scenes.
With Vytal reusable containers, we are helping to reduce the huge amounts of packaging waste that is currently still associated with the consumption of take-away food.
Since January 2022, we have introduced the digital reusable system at George Deli & Café.YYTAL containers can be used at least 200 times and are already better than disposable containers after 10 uses.
Thank you that we have already saved so much take-away packaging!
Since November 2020, in cooperation with myCoffeeCup we offer the ecologically valuable reusable cup system for coffee to go. This saves valuable resources in production and reduces the massive waste problem. The myCoffeeCup was specially designed for hot drinks. The reusable cup can be reused up to 500 times and has been certified with the Austrian eco-label. When it has reached the end of its life cycle, it is processed into toys.
Avoiding packaging waste and reducing plastic packaging is very important to us. That’s why the George Deli & Café has been using glass packaging for porridge, juices, etc. for some time now. The empty jars for these products can be returned to the George Deli & Café, where we clean them and then reuse them. This saves a large amount of packaging waste every year and protects the environment.
In order to reduce food waste even further, we started a cooperation with Too Good To Go in January 2020 – an app that everyone can use to save food.
We invite you to contribute to food rescue!
