We love our Town and we love our Country…
We are doing everything we can to protect our local environment through sustainable practices and charitable giving.
Protecting the Environment
It’s stunning here, and we know we’re incredibly lucky to live and work in the Queenstown region. The spectacular alpine setting of the Southern Lakes is what originally attracted many of the Queenstown Catering team to this area, and we want to ensure that our future generations are able to enjoy the mountains, lakes, rivers, and snow as much as we do.
We believe that we can impact our environment for the better- it begins in our backyard (quite literally in the case of growing our own food and composting food wastage regularly. We’ve got a whole sustainability policy, but in short our efforts include buying local, reducing landfill, using biofuel, carpooling, recycling… and a whole lot more.
We source all our food locally (where possible) and from sustainable companies. The lower the amount of transportation required, the less carbon emissions to our environment.
When it comes to cleaning products, we use an environmentally friendly range and for those items not yet available, we are in contact with suppliers to source products which meet our environmentally friendly expectations.
Sustainable Packaging
We are constantly in talks with our suppliers to reduce packaging or look for sustainable alternatives. Where possible, Queenstown Catering will implement reusable tableware and cups for events throughout the Queenstown region minimising compostable tableware and cups from heading to landfill.
