A brief description of the methodology used to conduct the inventory, including the timeframe and how representative samples accounted for seasonal variation (if applicable):
The STARS 2.2 Food and Beverage Purchasing Inventory template was used to document food and beverage purchases from June 2019 to May 2020.
Data feeds from food distributors accounted for the vast majority of data. This data provides line item information necessary to classify purchases as plant based or ethically sourced. In addition, some data was taken from the general ledger of these units. This data does not have line item information, but was considered ethically sourced only where units purchased solely certified items (e.g. a vendor that only sells these units RFA/FT coffee beans). Similarly, transactions from the general ledger were considered plant based only where a vendor sells solely commodities such as produce, coffee beans or teas. Seasonal variation does not need to be accounted for as the “sample data” included all transactions from the relevant periods.
