SUSTAINABILITY POLICY

At Bow & Bend, we are committed to operating in a way that protects and sustains the environment for future generations. We recognize the importance of minimizing our ecological footprint and integrating sustainable practices into all aspects of our restaurant operations.


1. Environmental Responsibility

We strive to reduce our environmental impact through the following initiatives:

  • Waste Reduction: Prioritizing waste prevention, recycling, and composting. We aim to continually decrease landfill waste through responsible disposal and recovery methods.
  • Eco-Friendly Purchasing: Choosing products that are locally sourced, organic, seasonal, and sustainably harvested whenever possible. We favor suppliers who share our environmental values.
  • Sustainable Packaging: Using 100% compostable or recyclable packaging for all takeout and catering orders. We avoid single-use plastics and non-recyclable materials.
  • Resource Conservation: Reducing water and energy consumption through efficient equipment, staff training, and smart resource management.

2. Community and Local Engagement
We support our local economy and community by:

  • Partnering with local farms, producers, and artisans.
  • Participating in community sustainability programs and education.
  • Supporting food security initiatives and reducing food waste through donations where possible.

3. Staff Involvement
Our team is essential to our sustainability efforts. We:

  • Provide training and resources to staff on eco-conscious practices.
  • Encourage a culture of sustainability through shared goals and participation in green initiatives.
  • Promote employee ideas for improving our sustainability practices.

4. Continuous Improvement
Sustainability is an ongoing journey. We:

  • Regularly review and improve our environmental practices.
