Bon Appétit is proud to be the first food service company to commit to a long and growing list of ethical sourcing and sustainability milestones. Their pioneering efforts began in 1999 when they committed to supporting local agriculture with a defined purchasing target. Shortly after, in 2002, they began striving to serve only seafood that meets Seafood Watch® sustainability guidelines for commercial buyers. The momentum continued into 2003 with dual pledges to reduce antibiotic use in farm animals and to serve only rBGH-free milk.
As the decade progressed, Bon Appétit continued to lead the industry by switching to cage-free eggs in 2005 and actively tackling food’s role in climate change in 2007. By 2009, they had expanded their ethical focus to address farmworkers’ rights within their supply chain. Moving into the 2010s, they championed animal welfare by switching to humanely raised ground beef in 2012 and completely phasing out pork raised with gestation crates by 2015. More recently, they eliminated plastic waste through their 2018 “last straw” initiative and established a dual global and local coffee bean sourcing commitment in 2019.
Farm to Fork is a company wide (Bon Appétit) initiative to buy locally, formalized in 1999. Their first choice is to purchase seasonal ingredients from small, owner-operated farms and ranches within a 150-mile radius of the café. Food grown locally is fresher, better tasting, and often has greater nutritional value. Bon Appétit commitment to local food is about preserving biodiversity, protecting open space, supporting family farmers, and keeping money invested in the community.
