New guide helps event organisers create sustainable menus

The Future Plates guide is packed with ideas for greener catering


When global events such as the Paris Olympics or COP28 decide to embrace plant-based food, people pay attention. And now, thanks to a new catering guide from ProVeg International, it’s easier than ever for event organisers to follow in their footsteps.

Recently unveiled at the UN’s Bonn Climate Change Conference, the Future Plates guide is a practical tool for caterers looking to deliver meals that are not only delicious but also aligned with climate goals. Whether you’re planning for a global summit or a high-profile conference, Future Plates makes the case for plant-forward menus and shows exactly how to pull them off.

So what makes this guide worth checking out? For starters, it makes a compelling case for introducing more plant-based options, backed by economic reasoning and environmental logic. With meat and dairy being two of the most resource-intensive (and costly) food items to produce, shifting towards plant-based meals can help trim expenses without sacrificing quality.

Inside the guide, you’ll find thoughtful strategies, examples from past global events, and even recipes to get you started. It’s designed to make the transition towards greener catering not just achievable, but enjoyable.
