A few years ago, Alvida started making its services more sustainable, so that we provide the events and parties for our customers in an environmentally conscious way with the climate as a starting point. We would like to take you through the steps we have taken.
We use the paperless office principle. Almost all internal and external documentation is sent digitally as much as possible. This includes contracts, quotes, invoices and other means of communication. All documents are stored on encrypted hard drives, which also ensures the security of our customers' data. These hard drives are encrypted and are stored in various safes.
Both at our location and at our customers' location, we only use LED lighting and energy-efficient equipment. This applies to, among other things, the lighting, the ambient lighting, the colored LED spots and the bar lighting. All our cranes have a water-saving aerator. This means that we saved 40% and 50% on water use in 2019 and 2020, respectively.
In recent years, transport reduction has helped us to go back to half of our fleet. By focusing efficiently on transport and the use of energy-efficient cars, we are contributing a very big step in reducing CO2 emissions.
Waste prevention, and in particular combating food waste. Using energy efficiently and creating recyclable packaging often result in less waste. The waste generated in our production is separated and processed daily so that 98% of our waste can be recycled.
Our products are produced by sustainable cultivation, so that no or less damage is caused to biodiversity, ecosystems, water and climate. Better for the environment, so better for you, that's why we work with fresh, local and seasonal ingredients.
Last but not least, an honest presentation. During an event, buffet, barbecue or food market, the presentation is of course just as important as the points mentioned above. We make extensive use of recycled products in the presentation of our dishes. This includes the well-known wooden crates, beautiful and responsible decorative items that we maintain in-house so that they can be used again at any event. You will also find our famous spice crates at all our buffets, food markets and barbecue events so that your guests cut the herbs themselves, it couldn't be fresher! In addition, where possible, we work with biodegradable disposables and the materials we use are purchased completely sustainably.
Thanks so much again for the successful drink! The colleagues were super enthusiastic and did not expect them to go so big at the drinks.
For the symbolic first post on our lot, we looked for a caterer and ended up at Alvida. It was quite a short day but we were kindly spoken to and helped by phone. A few days later, we were able to meet at the location to discuss things. Roy-Alexander was very friendly, thought along with us about our wishes and came up with great ideas himself. We found this to be very pleasant. On the day of our event, Alvida arrived right on time to build up. The bar looked good, and the other materials brought along were also neat and of good quality. The staff was very friendly and enthusiastic, even towards our guests. The snacks and drinks were delicious and people went around regularly, so we and our guests were not short of anything.
We are very satisfied with Alvida and glad that we asked you to provide catering on this special day for us. It was really a success and we had many reactions from our guests during and afterwards about the cozy atmosphere, the good catering and the friendly staff. Compliments! We will definitely think about calling you again when we deliver our house
There was plenty of great food and drinks. And I think we consumed well 😀
The men were very friendly and involved with our group of women 😀
A very successful evening that we can look back on with great pleasure!
Thanks for taking good care! And maybe until next time!
