Bringing Food Made Good to Australia
Food Made Good now has an official presence in Australia, thanks to our partnership with Innavi!
Innavi's mission is to build a future where commercial kitchens lead the charge in environmental stewardship. Innavi is committed to transforming commercial kitchens across Australasia into sustainable, eco-friendly operations, combining sector-specific expertise with environmental consciousness to create greener pathways in the hospitality industry.
Innavi’s team of seasoned professionals, accomplished chefs and environmental specialists develops and implements sustainable practices tailored to the unique needs of each kitchen, revolutionising the hospitality industry by providing innovative solutions that reduce environmental impact while enhancing operational efficiency and creating great spaces to work.
These solutions include designing and installing commercial kitchens; providing tailored seminars and demonstrations to equip kitchen staff with the knowledge and skills to implement sustainable practices effectively; offering guidance in building sustainable supply chains; and now, supported by The Sustainable Restaurant Association, bringing the Food Made Good Standard to kitchens across Australasia.
Circular Hospitality Australia
In 2025, we also embarked on a strategic partnership with Circular Hospitality Australia (CHA), a collaborative initiative formed by consultant, journalist and long-time Good Food Guide Editor Joanna Savill; Jeanine Bribosia, director and founder of PR and brand strategy agency The Cru; and Rebecca Bernstone, food business consultant at The Cultivator.
CHA is focused on raising sustainability standards across Australia's food, drink and hospitality industries. Their in-depth knowledge of, and connections with, the hospitality sector in Australia are incredibly valuable as we continue to grow our presence there.
What is the Food Made Good Standard?
Developed by The SRA and launched in 2010, the Food Made Good Standard is a global sustainability assessment that has been designed especially for the hospitality industry. Robust and evidence-driven, the Standard takes a comprehensive, holistic approach to what sustainability should mean for this influential industry, based on detailed criteria across its three pillars of Sourcing, Society and Environment. The Standard measures progress, encourages a culture of continuous improvement and rewards excellence, and is a core part of how we work to achieve our mission of driving positive change through the F&B sector worldwide.
Is the Food Made Good Standard available EVERYWHERE?
In 2023, we developed a new iteration of the Food Made Good Standard. This included an updated, more user-friendly platform and a brand new website to match, and we called on a range of experts to contribute as we re-developed the question set that restaurants must complete for their evaluation and the supporting evidence required. Not only did this modernise the Standard and make it more thorough, but it is now also accessible and applicable for F&B businesses anywhere in the world. The Food Made Good Standard now has a presence in over 40 countries and territories, with our network including restaurants, hotels, cafés, bars, catering companies and universities.
