sustainable gastronomy
At KILDEN, we strive to provide a great culinary experience where the star of the meal is always the seasonal Danish ingredients, which we select and refine with the greatest attention. Our focus is sustainable gastronomy because we firmly believe in it, and because it is estimated that the food industry accounts for approximately a quarter of the world's CO2 emissions. We therefore believe that everyone who works with food has a responsibility to look at where they can make a difference. For us, sustainability is about more than where and how the carrots are grown, or how the animals are raised. Those things must be in order, of course, but for us, it doesn’t work if the chefs and waiters serving the meals are not offered proper working conditions. For us, sustainable gastronomy means being sustainable in all aspects of the business.
our manifesto
No one can do everything, but everyone can do something. Therefore, in 2021 – with the UN's Global Goals as our guideline – we drew up our own 'Manifesto'. We use the LOCA Manifesto as a guideline for our sustainability approach and our business. We want the restaurant industry to be a place where, as an employee, you want to stay for a long time – also when you have passed a certain age or have had children. The Manifesto was drawn up in collaboration with the Basque Culinary Center and is based on eight of UN's Global Goals where we believe we can make the greatest impact. You can read more about our Manifesto here.
sustainability report
For us, it is not enough to simply say that we work sustainably. We work with sustainability based on facts and figures because, as the saying goes: ‘if we can measure it, we can manage it’. We have long wanted to gain clarity on how sustainable our business really is when it comes to both people and the environment. That is why in March 2022, we presented LOCA Gruppen’s first 'Sustainability report', which puts facts and objectives behind the things we say. If you want, you can dive into our Sustainability Report here.
