Tomorrow is another day. And it will hopefully be another good day. For us, therefore, sustainability is not a PR gimmick and no greenwash. For us, it is the leitmotiv in which we believe. Make ecology and economy a successful combination, protect resources and the climate the natural way. These are dramatic challenges for us and the future generations. We are happy to face them. Actually, with our sustainability initiative Green Catering, we have been doing so since 2013. We are getting ever closer to the target of comprehensive sustainability. Day by day.

Things are better close to home

For the catering at large events such as trade fairs, congresses or other events, this means: use fresh seasonal produce grown locally, of organic quality, wherever possible. This goes for meals as much as for beverages: Mineral water from Bad Vilbel near Frankfurt, juices from regional and seasonal fruit and vegetables, coffee and tea from fair trade sources and organic cultivation, wines from the Rheingau, to mention but a few.

Less is more

Unnecessary packaging materials, small or single-serving packages have no place with accente. Distances are short because accente has its production, logistics and service directly in the fairgrounds. Our electric vehicles are the first choice when it comes to fast transportation, these are in constant use. And saving of resources, energy efficiency and consistent avoidance of waste and excess quantities by realistic calculation of portions are self-understood.

Extremely tasty

Despite sustainability, another priority should not be neglected: good taste. That’s why our professional cooks create innovative delicacies for highest culinary delights and widest variety. And variety includes that vegetarian, vegan, kosher, halal meals are prepared and allergies and incompatibilities are taken into account where necessary.

Good for the stomach, good for the head

Brainfood is what accente believes is the ideal complement of Green Catering. The focus here is on meals developed with the specific aim of physical wellbeing and mental fitness. Healthy and easily digestible. Energy that does not stress the body but offers all the pleasure you can get.

Architecture and culinary delight committed to sustainability

Kap Europa is the world’s first congress building that won a platinum certificate from the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Nachhaltiges Bauen (DGNB) for its high ecological standard comprising the full life cycle of the building.

This location with its intelligent and trailblazing concept is ideal for congresses, conferences, commercial fairs, exhibitions, galas, parties and many other events.

With Green Catering, accente is taking the same challenging, responsible way and has developed recipes and Green Catering packages specifically for Kap Europa that carry the idea of the facility into catering. In this way, architecture, food and drinks come together and form one sustainable whole. Green is the ace!
