Sustainable Practices in Damm Good Catering

Blog Post 1 August

At Damm Good Catering, we’re committed to delivering exceptional culinary experiences while caring for our environment. Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword for us—it’s woven into every aspect of our service, from sourcing to cleanup.

Local First, Always

We prioritise partnerships with Victorian farmers and suppliers, reducing our carbon footprint while supporting local communities. Our seasonal menus showcase the best of Melbourne’s produce, ensuring fresher ingredients and minimal transport emissions. This farm-to-table approach not only benefits the environment but delivers superior flavour that our clients love.

Zero Waste Initiatives

Food waste is a significant challenge in catering, but we’ve implemented comprehensive strategies to minimise our impact. Our event manager liaise with clients and our chefs carefully plan portions based on guest numbers, making sure there is not only plenty of food to feed your guests but also not so much food as to have wastage. We also maintain an active composting programme, turning organic waste into nutrient-rich soil for our onsite gardens at Damm Good Café. 

Eco-Friendly Service Solutions

Gone are the days of single-use plastics at our events. We’ve invested in quality reusable servingware and offer biodegradable options when disposables are necessary. Our elegant presentation doesn’t compromise on sustainability—proving that luxury and environmental responsibility go hand in hand.

Energy-Efficient Operations

From our kitchen equipment to our delivery vehicles, we’re constantly evaluating and upgrading to more energy-efficient options. Recently we have added solar panels and batteries to Damm Good HQ and looking into changing from gas to electricity for our cooking. Our team is trained in sustainable practices, ensuring every event minimises environmental impact without sacrificing quality.

By choosing Damm Good Catering, you’re not just selecting premium cuisine—you’re supporting a business that values our planet’s future. Let us show you how sustainable catering can elevate your next event while leaving a lighter footprint.
