Greener Commercial Kitchens & Bars

Caterlink is one of the country’s leading foodservice design and installation specialists, has long been a pioneer in promoting green foodservice solutions. Here at Caterlink we’re passionate about the environment and the hospitality industry and have found a way to meld those passions and work with the industry to help become greener.

Product Portfolio

Caterlink is keen to stock and supply products through all our ranges that outperform the market at minimising environmental impact. Hospitality businesses are among the highest users per square meter of energy and waste services, but many are unaware that green alternatives either exist or are in development to reduce these burdens.

Through knowledgeable hospitality operations design the emissions, energy and water costs of a business can be substantially reduced. Our commercial and restaurant kitchen design service can integrate emission and energy reduction into hospitality operations at the foundation level.

Carbon Neutral Certification

Caterlink is proud to announce we are Australia’s first Carbon Neutral accredited commercial kitchen supplier, contractor and designer! This certification is the culmination of our passion for supplying and developing products and services that substantially minimise the environmental impact of the hospitality sector.

All our strategic and operational decisions are made with an environmental focus. This commitment manifests in many forms during our continual search for and investment in new ways to conserve our beautiful world.

Australia's First Carbon Neutral Commercial Kitchen Supplier

A keystone of our ongoing environmental strategy is our certification against the Climate Active Carbon Neutral Standard; the public-private partnership operating Australia’s most rigorous and credible carbon neutral certification. As part of the certification we offset 346 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.Due to our close and long-standing joint venture in Indonesia, we chose to contribute to the Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve Project. This project aims to conserve Indonesia’s diverse environment and orangutan populations by preserving tropical peat swamp forest. It encourages management of both non-developed and farming areas to minimise species loss, the removal of natural carbon reserves, such as peat, and opportunities for local people to find sustainable incomes, new business ventures and social equality.

Investing in Sustainability

Caterlink has actively reduced its environmental impact by implementing various initiatives. This includes:

Installing solar panels to decrease reliance on fossil fuels, resulting in an average generation of 61,000 kWh per year.
Setting up recycling stations across premises to segregate recyclable materials, thus reducing landfill waste.
Encouraging the use of home-prepared food to minimize reliance on single-use or unrecyclable packaging.

Social Investments

Maintaining our environment and ensuring sustainable resource use is a joint responsibility of all society.

We see Caterlink’s role as including the most environmentally friendly options in our products and services, encouraging and facilitating our clients and business partners to make eco-conscious choices, and supporting the development of new products and initiatives that improve our ability to do so.

Go Green Campaign

As part of the SKOPE 2021 Go Green Campaign promoting their eco-friendly Reflex and ActiveCore ranges, Caterlink matched every tree donation from SKOPE by FIVE. In total the campaign funded 825 trees for Carbon Neutral’s Plant-a-Tree Conservation Program!

This project is developed to restore natural habitats on degraded farmland in the Yarra Yarra Biodiversity Corridor – one of only 36 global biodiversity hotspots. Small patches of remaining vegetation will be reconnected to create a 200km corridor from inland to the coast.

These trees are protected for 100 years by a carbon covenant and carbon right registered with the state government on the land title. We were proud to have contributed to this critical work sustaining Australia’s unique and fragile wildlife.

Thanks to everyone who supported the promotion and chose SKOPE eco-friendly refrigeration.

By cultivating our own vegetables and herbs, we reduce our carbon footprint, promote sustainability, and reintroduce nature into our daily lives.
