Sustainability

Our Initiatives

As a guest, it is easy to make smart environmental choices when you dine at a University Dining Services location. We know today's college students want to do the right thing for the planet and we also understand you lead busy lives, so your University Dining Services chefs and managers do a lot of the work for you behind the scenes! This commitment was formalized with Sodexo's Better Tomorrow Plan. The Better Tomorrow Plan includes 18 commitments for a brighter future by focusing on four key priorities: health, planet, community and our people. Learn more about the Better Tomorrow Commitments.

Waste Reduction

Reducing organic and inorganic waste are other areas in which we are committed to working with our campus partners to make a real difference. University Dining Services utilizes reusable cups, plates, and utensils, train employees on waste reduction to reduce the amount of food, packaging, energy, and other resources that are wasted.

Partnership with Local and Environmentally Friendly Companies

Partnerships with local/regional suppliers and vendors in which Sodexo encourages our suppliers to enhance,protect and restore the environment. In addition, requiring all manufacturers to adhere to the guidelines contained in our Supplier Code of Conduct.
