As part of Conference Aston’s wider commitment to environmentally conscious practices, ‘Make Mondays Matter’ is designed to encourage eco-friendly consumption without compromising on flavour or variety.
Delegates can enjoy:
- Plant-based and vegetarian dishes that take centre stage, offering vibrant and satisfying alternatives to traditional meat options.
- Sustainably sourced fish varieties, selected to support marine biodiversity.
- Locally sourced produce from within the Midlands, celebrating regional ingredients and reducing food miles.
- No bake desserts which eliminate the emissions associated with conventional baking methods.
- Root to stem vegetable dishes, embracing a no waste culinary approach.
Samantha Brown, head of Conference Aston, said: “Make Mondays Matter reflects our commitment to serving great food that’s also good for the planet. Building on the success of last year’s eco-friendly Christmas menu, we’re starting each week with exciting, lower carbon dishes.
“It’s a meaningful step toward reducing our environmental impact and supporting Aston University’s goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2028, while giving delegates an inspiring start to their week.”
Through this initiative, Conference Aston is contributing to Aston University’s goal of reaching net zero emissions by 2028.
