Eaternity
Project Title: Growing Eaternity’s climate friendly business and the market for climate friendly food
Company background
Eaternity’s goal as an ambitious but still small social business is to shape the future of gastronomy. It aims to provide the tools for sustainable menu options in any restaurant.
Eaternity started in November 2008 at the ETH Zürich, when co-Founder Judith Ellens won first prize at the ecoworks-workshop. Her idea was to measure and reduce the environmental impact of the food & beverage operation of restaurants. Back then food was widely ignored when it came to reducing climate-threatening greenhouse gases. The impact of the food supply chain, however, is measured at 1/3 of all CO2-eq. emissions and is therefor bigger than the global transportation sector.
In 2009 Eaternity launched its’ first project at the ETH canteen of the Science City campus, run by SV Group. The CO2-impact of all the meals offered at the canteen was calculated and Eaternity worked together with the cooks to create and serve the first ever climate-friendly menu to the public. After a lot of voluntary work under the Eaternity Association, other project requests and media interest began to materialize and Eaternity started to grow. In July 2014 Eaternity AG was founded. Today, the company supports players in the restaurant industry, providing them with the expertise, knowledge and tools to turn restaurants into climate-friendly operations.
Overall goal of the project
The overall goal of the project is to grow Eaternity’s customer base. Eaternity is currently working with a total of 250 restaurants, mainly in the corporate catering industry in Germany and Switzerland. Next to enlarging its existing customer base, Eaternity particularly aims at accessing new market segments through cooperations and joint ventures with providers of procurement systems and menu planning software, as well as policy lobbying on the institutional, state-run level of the food service industry (hospitals, nursing homes, schools).
Overall objective
Eaternity is looking to develop and grow its markets through:
Cooperations and joint ventures with:
- software providers for restaurant management systems (e.g. calcmenu, mbs5 etc.)
- food logistics (e.g. Saviva, Migros, Metro, Gemüsering)
- professional cooking schools and publishing houses of educational material (e.g. a-b-z.ch, PAULI)
Sales to institutional, yet independent corporate caterers (e.g. Daimler, Volkswagen, BMW, Siemens, Audi, Bayer, BASF, DB Gastronomie, LZ-Catering, Evonik)
Lobbying for policy execution in support of state-run, climate friendly food offerings (e.g. schools, hospitals, nursing homes etc.)
The objectives will be defined more specifically at the project launch.
