Responsible innovations

CAPDEVIELLE TRAITEUR is the first caterer to have created a carbon calculator certified by ADEME to use for its events, reception venues and customers. Their ISO 20212 in 2019 marked a new step forward in their responsible approach.

After 6 months of work, they presented the Delta Project: their entire carbon balance for 2022 and their actions to reduce their impact by 2024.

Their personalised carbon calculator, adapted to their production tool and their menu, allows them to provide clients with an ADEME certified carbon analysis on request after their events.

Year after year, they will be able to measure, compare and reduce the carbon impact of their events and activities with the aim of offering increasingly responsible events.
