Climate-aware breakfasts at Gothia Towers

Klicka här för svenska

A large proportion of greenhouse gas emissions – both for society as a whole and for our site – are linked to food. Fredrik Andersson, Culinary Executive Chef at Gothia Towers, and his colleagues have worked together to implement a number of measures to reduce this climate impact, so we can achieve our target of halving carbon dioxide emissions by 2030.

One of these initiatives is our climate-aware breakfasts. This draws inspiration from WWF’s One Planet Plate concept, which has been developed together with a team of scientists and calculates a limit for the greenhouse gas emissions associated with one meal in order to stay within the bounds of the Paris Agreement and achieve the UN’s climate goals. The guidance is a maximum of 0.5 kg CO₂e per meal (or a total of 11 kg CO₂e per week).

Providing guidance for mindful choices

Our climate-aware breakfast suggestions consist of 3 different selections from our breakfast buffet. These breakfasts are within the limits of WWF One Planet Plate. They also all provide a tasty and nutritious start to your day, while contributing to sustainable consumption.
