Carbono Cero: recipes of the future

Can you make meals that are both delicious and CO2-neutral?

Yes indeed! Together with the company Quorn, we developed exclusively CO2-neutral recipes, such as the Louisiana Burger and Double Dip Korean Wings. Delicious dishes each and every one. We call it Carbono Cero.

and cholesterol-free. Healthy for the planet and for people!

500 grams of CO2

Each dish contains a maximum of 500 grams of CO2. We calculate this using Klimato, a globally accredited CO2 calculation tool. And to ensure that each serving is truly CO2-neutral, Quorn offsets all remaining carbon with certified projects that avoid or reduce CO2 emissions.

Tasty

We love the Carbono Cero dishes. But far more importantly is that our guests feel the same way. We currently offer the eight plant-based dishes at our clients’ premises, such as at EDGE Amsterdam West, DAF, Shell, Achmea and Aegon. The aim of this pilot is to fine-tune the dishes and learn to what extent our guests are willing to buy climate-neutral dishes. The first tentative results are positive; for example, on the first day of the Carbono Cero programme, 40% of the total dishes sold were CO2-neutral dishes.

Ready for the future

‘The future of Carbono Cero looks bright. Guest reactions to the dishes have been positive and feedback from colleagues in the workplace has been very valuable. The culinary development team is now working on 11 new CO2-neutral premium dishes that perfectly suit our guests’ needs. We will therefore see these dishes appear regularly in our menus in the future. The goal of reducing our CO2 emissions by 34% by 2025 is thus one step closer.’
