Two Novae restaurants are taking part<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This year, we are delighted to be participating in the \u201c\u00c0 Table<\/a>!\u201d competition again, an event dedicated to promoting sustainable food and organised by the City of Geneva and its partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running from 23 September to 20 October 2024<\/strong>, \u201c\u00c0 Table\u201d showcases restaurants that take eco-friendly and health-friendly approaches, in line with the objectives in the Cantonal Climate Plan and Geneva Climate Strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainable food: a lever for a greener tomorrow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We firmly believe that food plays a fundamental role in reducing our environmental impact, and we launched our \u201cSustainable Food<\/a>\u201d activities for schools as far back as 2021 to raise awareness of this critical issue among young people. In October 2022, we broke new ground by releasing our Eco Toque<\/strong><\/a>label, an ambitious programme aimed at fostering a more sustainable offering and supporting consumers as they transition to more responsible eating habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It therefore makes perfect sense that we are taking part in the \u201c\u00c0 Table!\u201d competition.  We hope this initiative will raise awareness among the public, while highlighting practices that support short supply chains, promote local agriculture and reduce our carbon footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, two of our restaurants are taking part in the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event is another opportunity for us to demonstrate our commitment to sustainability. Throughout the four weeks of the competition, we have decided to structure our activity and communications around four major themes: reducing food<\/strong> waste (zero waste<\/strong>), using local products, highlighting seasonal products, and promoting vegetarian dishes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our sustainability levers at the heart of the \u201c\u00c0 Table!\u201d competition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the competition, we will highlight these four essential themes through tangible actions and exclusive recipes in our restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Zero waste<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that 25% of the environmental impact of food in Switzerland is down to food waste? In Switzerland, this waste<\/a> represents 2.8 million tonnes of food per year, or 330 kg per person!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Novae, we are taking steps to bring this figure down:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
