The Catering for a Sustainable Future Group (CSFG) is a voluntary organisation, formed in March 2006 from people within the UK catering equipment industry interested in developing ideas and initiatives to promote energy savings and sustainability in commercial kitchens, in the face of growing public awareness of this issue.


The CSFG has been formed as a sub-committee of the Catering Equipment Distributors Association (CEDA) the Catering Equipment Suppliers Association (CESA) and the Foodservice Consultants Society International (FCSI.) The CSFG therefore enjoys unparalleled support from right across the UK catering equipment industry.


Commercial kitchens are huge users of energy and much can be done to improve efficiency. The CSFG feels that this initiative should come from within the industry, rather than having it forced upon the industry at a later date. Input to the group’s work is welcomed, refer to “How can I help?”


The Group’s chosen mission statement is:

‘To provide the foodservice industry with a code of practice and guidelines for consideration towards energy efficiency and use of sustainable products.’
