Amadeus trials carbon labelling at NEC

Amadeus has introduced carbon labelling at NEC Group venues, in a partnership with food technology and sustainability specialist Foodsteps. The trial assesses the carbon impacts of 1,800 recipes sold at the NEC and ICC, labelling dishes as low carbon footprint on its menus.

Developed alongside scientists and academics at the University of Cambridge, Foodsteps offers a cloud-based platform, as well as labelling capability and QR codes. On the platform, food providers can upload recipes and view the sustainability impact of each ingredient. It can also be used to monitor targets, develop new recipes and improve a menu or product's sustainability.

Marc Frankl, food and beverage director for Amadeus, said: “Innovation is front and centre in our work across the live events industry. We want to empower our visitors to make more sustainable choices and educate themselves about the carbon impact of food and this is a great step towards that.”
