A brief description of the trayless dining program:
In 2008, SLU implemented trayless dining in the resident dining halls. Encouraging students to forgo trays for one day per week is in line with Compass Group's overall Corporate Social Responsibility strategy and is what our customers have come to expect. Most businesses are adopting a "green" strategy and Compass Group led the industry with landmark policies in 2006 to utilize non-hydrogenated, zero trans-fat oils and purchase pork and poultry with reduced use of antibiotics in production. Going Trayless is a natural addition to these initiatives. For students, "going green" is what they expect. Going trayless is not only an environmental benefit but also an economic and humanitarian benefit. American spends more than $1 billion annually disposing of excess food. Going trayless enables us to better allocate our resources while helping the environment and addressing the current food crisis.
