Belu and The SRA serve up a new Small Business Guide to Sustainability

For small restaurants, cafés, bars, hotels and other F&B businesses, the Guide covers everything from assessing their starting point and how to take action on sustainability right through to communicating their hard work to staff and customers and building a collaborative network of like-minded businesses. Combining expert advice and insights with real-life examples, this has been designed as a practical companion for small hospitality businesses. 

Case studies of businesses that have successfully integrated sustainability into every facet of their operations include the UK's The Bull Inn, The PIG, Pythouse Kitchen Garden, as well as Hong Kong’s SpiceBox Organics and South Africa’s FYN Restaurant. These stories provide inspiration throughout the Guide, illustrating how the advice shared can be put into practice.

Jan Roberts, Director of Commercial & Customer Relationships at Belu said, “We're always so inspired and invigorated by the many sustainability champions among our hospitality customers, from restaurants and bars to cafés and diners – businesses of all sizes – in the UK and in Hong Kong. We see their commitment to environmental responsibility not only drive their success, but also create a ripple effect of positive change in their communities. We love being able to celebrate and share their stories in this guide, which we hope will inspire others to adopt a more sustainable approach.” 

Managing Director of The Sustainable Restaurant Association Juliane Caillouette Noble said, “As part of our mission to support the hospitality industry on the road to a more sustainable future, The SRA is committed to providing practical resources that solve real-world problems for F&B businesses. We are very proud to launch this Small Business Guide to Sustainability, and hope that it’s a useful tool for smaller organisations who are eager to operate in a more planet-friendly way, but might not know where to get started”. 

Peter Tempelhoff, the Chef Patron and Founder of FYN Restaurant, said, “It's a wonderful privilege for the FYN team to be a part of the Small Business Guide to Sustainability. We see this initiative as a galvanising and motivating force to further drive the implementation and innovation of sustainable practices throughout all spheres of the restaurant. We are thrilled to be included. From sourcing our produce to supporting our people, sustainability touches every aspect of what we do, and we continue to strive to create a better, healthier and more sustainable world through real-world action.” 

The Small Business Guide to Sustainability is available now at the Belu website and is free to download now!
