At Portfolio EC2, sustainability isn’t an add-on, it’s woven into every decision we make. From the way we source our ingredients to how we power our kitchens and deliver our events, we’re committed to creating unforgettable dining experiences with a lighter environmental footprint. As a modern caterer serving London’s most prestigious venues, we believe great food and responsible practice should go hand in hand.
We aim to lead the way in responsible event catering by continually reducing waste, lowering emissions, prioritising ethical suppliers, and supporting venues on their own sustainability journeys. Every event offers an opportunity to do better, and we take that responsibility seriously.
Sustainability is not a single initiative; it’s a long-term, evolving commitment. From carbon-conscious sourcing to reducing reliance on diesel vehicles, we’re investing in meaningful change that benefits our clients, our community, and the planet.
We work closely with trusted suppliers who share our values and practise sustainable farming, fishing, and production. This ensures your event is served with exceptional, responsibly sourced ingredients.
By prioritising local producers wherever possible, we reduce food miles and support small businesses, without compromising on quality or creativity.
Whether it’s seasonal produce, ethically raised meat, or sustainably caught seafood, we choose ingredients that respect the environment and enhance every dish we serve.
Food waste is one of the biggest challenges in the catering industry, and we’re tackling it head-on. Through meticulous planning, intelligent batch preparation, and improved waste-management systems, we work to significantly minimise what ends up in landfill.
We’re also committed to reducing packaging waste. All future packaging will be recyclable or compostable as we phase out single-use plastics across our operations. From kitchen prep to event service, every step is designed with sustainability in mind.
Our environmental commitments extend beyond the kitchen. To lower our carbon footprint, we are transitioning our vehicle fleet to electric, with 20% already fully electric and plans to reach 90% by 2027. We replace each diesel van with an electric model as it reaches five years old, ensuring consistent, meaningful progress.
Additionally, we are investing in renewable energy. Our new solar panel system will generate a significant proportion of our electricity, saving an estimated 55,260kg of carbon each year, and over 1,025,000kg over the system’s lifespan.
This is sustainability in action, not in theory.
We know that meaningful change happens through collaboration. That’s why we partner with venues, suppliers, and clients who share our passion for sustainability. Together, we exchange best practices, innovate solutions, and ensure that every event, from intimate dinners to large corporate galas, is delivered responsibly.
Our team is always learning, refining, and improving. Sustainability is a journey, and we are committed to leading it with transparency and integrity.
When you choose Portfolio EC2, you’re choosing a caterer who cares about the craft, the guest experience, and the world we operate in. We believe you shouldn’t have to choose between exquisite food and ethical practice. With us, you can have both.
Let’s create unforgettable events that respect the planet and celebrate the very best of British hospitality.
