Has the institution adopted sustainability policies or guidelines for food service franchisees operating on campus?:
Yes
A brief description of the guidelines for franchisees:
In helping our leased operations achieve compliance with the UC policy, ASUCLA will focus on Section VIII. a. which states, “With the overall goal of reducing the environmental impact of food purchases and dining operations while maintaining accessibility and affordability for all students, the University has set a goal of procuring 20% sustainable food products by the year 2020 for Campus Foodservice Operations.” ASUCLA will take the following steps:
•Current leasees will be informed of UC Sustainable Foodservices Policy.
•ASUCLA will encourage current leasees to provide information about their ongoing sustainable practices plus any future plans for implementing new initiatives to promote sustainability.
•ASUCLA will take advantage of opportunities to work with leasees to implement sustainable initiatives prior to
their scheduled contract renegotiations.
•ASUCLA will work with UCLA Real Estate to include standard language for all new and re-negotiated contracts, asking franchisees to make a good faith effort to abide by UC Sustainable Foodservices Policy guidelines. Policy text will also be included in contracts.
Additionally, new contracts with third parties that operate campus restaurants include the following language: "Tenant must be committed to making a good faith effort to incorporate UC Sustainable Food Service Practices in the operation of the Premises and specifically will eliminate the use of Styrofoam in the Premises no later than September 30, 2011."
