An inventory of food and beverage purchases that qualify as sustainably/ethically produced:
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 analysis covered one entire year over the academic year 2017-2018 based on available data. It was not necessary to apply seasonal variations since the inventory covered a full year, i.e. all 4 seasons. Food supply reports from May 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018 were requested from all food service providers at the University of Montreal.

The inventory was carried out using an Excel tool that included a pivot table to facilitate product quantification (the table including in particularly: food categories, product description, brand and amount spent).

Products with third-party certifications (organic, fair trade and sustainable fishing) have been identified in the Excel document.

Plant-based: Using the pivot table, non-plant based categories were identified one at a time to validate if they matched for the accepted plant-based categories. Ultra-processed products have been excluded from the list.

The identified products were then recorded in the template provided by STARS.
