About The Sustainable Restaurant Association
Since 2010, The Sustainable Restaurant Association (The SRA) has set the Standard for sustainable food and drink businesses, connecting businesses across the globe to accelerate change toward a hospitality sector that is socially progressive and environmentally restorative. They do this through the world’s largest sustainability certification tailored for the sector: the Food Made Good Standard (more details below), as well as through strategic partnerships with organisations like Green Media, The World’s 50 Best, the UK’s National Restaurant Awards, WRAP, Beans is How, LIFE Climate Smart Chefs, San Pellegrino Young Chef, Flor de Caña, Bar World of Tomorrow and more.
About the Food Made Good Standard
Created by The Sustainable Restaurant Association, the Food Made Good Standard is a global sustainability accreditation for the hospitality industry. The Standard is awarded to restaurants and other F&B businesses around the world that meet a set of rigorous, measurable criteria across three main focus areas: Sourcing, Society and Environment. The accreditation aims to encourage, support and recognise sustainability practices across the F&B industry worldwide.
The Food Made Good Standard takes a big-picture, holistic view of what sustainability should mean for the hospitality industry. Undertaking this work means a restaurant is not only minimising food waste, carbon emissions or water use, but also implementing sustainable sourcing policies, designing menus that are good for both people and planet, treating staff with compassion and dignity, and getting involved in the local community. The Standard changes what it means to be a sustainable restaurant in the 21st century.
In 2023, The SRA launched a new, improved version of the Food Made Good Standard. Supported by a more user-friendly platform, this updated Standard is now globally accessible, applicable and relevant, allowing restaurants anywhere in the world to sign up and assess their sustainability. The Standard can now be accessed and used in English, Spanish, Japanese and Traditional Chinese, with more languages still to come.
