Incorporating the latest high-street food and nutrition trends

Working with leading food influencers and chefs, Elior is continuously developing new and exciting ideas. Along with an innovation team that’s focused on bringing cutting-edge solutions to clients and customers, there’s a concept development team that creates bespoke catering concepts which incorporate the latest high-street food and nutrition trends. These include a new further education brand called Society Street Kitchen which brings the best of British street food to further education colleges, and Trashed, a sustainability initiative which focuses on using food items that would otherwise be wasted. Trashed has even won a Footprint Award and was shortlisted for the Waste2Zero Awards.

Having a positive impact

For Elior, enriching lives everywhere, every day is more than just a mission statement. The organisation is committed to doing everything it possibly can to ensure it has a positive impact on communities and the planet. From sourcing ingredients sustainably to increasing best practice recycling methods and reducing food waste – the company has teamed up with food redistribution company OLIO to donate surplus food to vulnerable local communities – Elior has a wealth of practical solutions in place to tackle important global sustainability issues. These include its award-winning Eco Points Loyalty Scheme, introduced to encourage guests to choose low carbon dishes. This scheme sees Elior give its customers virtual stamps in return for making the greener choice, and then rewarding them when they reach a certain number by planting a tree.

Elior also encourages team members to take part in events and initiatives that support and form bonds with local communities – from supporting community kitchens for rough sleepers to taking part in beach cleans.
