Green Seal™ Standard for Restaurants and Food Services - GS-46
The Green Seal Standard for Restaurants and Food Services, GS-46, establishes requirements for restaurants and food service operations that have been operating for at least three months whose primary business is preparing and serving food to the general public or private consumers. This includes full-service, limited-service, non-commercial, and catering operations.
The standard is based on life cycle research and focuses on leadership environmental improvement in the key impact areas — food, waste, and energy. Metrics, performance, and practices are combined in this standard to help operations make meaningful environmental improvement. In addition, organizational commitment is included to ensure the environmental efforts are long lasting. The standard can serve as a tool to help operations begin to take action to improve their operation and is available for Green Seal certification.
