Establishing an industry-wide sustainability framework: Learnings from the Sustainable Restaurant Association

In this podcast Sustainable Wine's Toby Webb speaks to Juliane Caillouette-Noble, managing director at the Sustainable Restaurant Association (SRA). The SRA was set up in 2009 to establish a common language and shared experience for the restaurant and hospitality industry. Starting out with 50 founding members, the SRA now works with around 12,000 kitchens throughout the UK.

They discuss the challenges of balancing the niche definitions of sustainability within a broader holistic framework, raising awareness of the sustainability issues throughout the wider value chain, consumer education, and the opportunities for cross-over between the Sustainable Restaurant Association and the Sustainable Wine Roundtable.
