Inventory of qualifying food and beverage purchases:
Description of the methodology used to determine the spend on products that are sustainably or ethically produced:
| The Food and Beverage Purchasing Inventory covers one year of purchasing (June 1-May 31, 2024) and is based on velocity reports provided by the university's primary food service provider, Aramark. As required by our food service contract, Aramark submits to Concordia Food Services two purchasing reports a year ( January 31st and June 15th). These reports monitor progress on sustainability targets relating to the purchase of local, Fairtrade and organic food as well as certified sustainable seafood. Aramark obtains product information (i.e. province of origin and processing, any sustainability certifications) from its distributors and when the info is unknown or incomplete, from the producers themselves. The purchasing inventory relies on product information generated from Aramark's seasonal reports. |
Description of the methodology used to determine the spend on plant-based foods:
| We went through the purchasing report category by category and then in certain circumstances product by product to determine whether it should be included. |
