Hand- & Footprint

Good food brings people together. That’s why we look beyond flavour alone. Through conscious choices in our menus, working methods and partnerships, we turn every event into an opportunity to make a positive impact.

Not perfect. But mindful. And a little better every day.

Our Compass

Our guiding principles shape the way we cook, organise and work together. In this way, we make sustainability an integral part of our day-to-day operations and, step by step, build a future-proof approach to catering.

On the menu.

What we serve matters.
That’s why plant-based, regional and seasonal choices take centre stage here. Always with a focus on flavour and quality.

Behind the scenes.

Sustainability doesn’t stop at the menu. From logistics and materials to procurement and waste streams: behind the scenes, we’re constantly working to reduce our environmental footprint.

For people.

It is people who make Hete Peper. That is why we invest in a working environment where everyone feels welcome, safe and valued, with room to grow.

Small bites. Big impact.

No jet lag on your plate.

We’d rather have a beetroot from the local area than a bean from the other side of the world. Wherever possible, we opt for local and seasonal ingredients. This means shorter supply chains, less transport and, above all, more flavour.

Peels in the spotlight.

What others see as waste, we see as an ingredient. Peels, stalks and stalks are given a new lease of life in stocks, sauces and fermented seasonings.

Waste has no supporting role.

The best waste stream is the one that isn’t generated in the first place. That’s why we focus on sensible quantities, reuse and minimising waste during events.
Together with De Groene Lobby, we are constantly raising our standards: we are aiming for 90% circularity.

No gas. But green.

No gas, no grey stuff. Our kitchen, warehouse, and office run 100% on green electricity. We’re committed to sustainability.
From cooking to refrigeration. From the workplace to the workbench.

On the road to 2030

We don’t have all the answers. But we do have a clear direction.
More vegetables taking centre stage. Less waste. Locally sourced produce. Lower emissions. And an environment where everyone feels welcome.

That’s what we work towards every day. Through conscious choices in our menus, materials, transport and partnerships.
In this way, we turn every event into a small step with a big impact.
