Task description
As part of the development of the Ocean Friendly Restaurants (OFR) campaign, we are looking for volunteers to do a benchmark of the initiatives for sustainable practices in restaurants in Europe. Your mission will be to identify companies or NGOs which are proposing sustainable practices for restaurants (such as waste reduction, promotion of local and organic products, returnable containers…) in Germany. This benchmark can also include initiatives at a local and international level. The information can be presented in a table with a description of the organisation’s activity, contact info, which OFR criteria does the initiative correspond to, and any additional remarks and/or suggestions are welcome.
