Apply for CertificationAbout us
Ecofoodies promotes the implementation of more natural and sustainable food standards in the hospitality industry, identifying restaurants and hotels with higher food quality, greater care for a healthy human diet and less impact on the environment and animal welfare.
Through this identification, customers and visitors will be able to choose restaurants based on these criteria, and restaurants will achieve a greater customer influx and loyalty by committing to these fair practices that mean a higher food quality, taste and ethical values.
Standards
The level of commitment adopted by Ecofoodies certified restaurants is measured by the adoption to standards: basic, with medium-high level food commitment, and advanced, with maximum level commitment.
These commitments are articulated under three axes:
Environmental impact
Food production generates almost 25% of global greenhouse gases. This high environmental footprint can be reduced through more appropriate and seasonal food selection.
Animal welfare
Animal products are part of an omnivorous human diet. Care and respect for those animals is not only a more ethical practice, but also leads to a higher quality and better tasting ingredients.
Human health impact
Good nutrition is the main health factor. When eating more natural food, and in the right proportion, life quality and length improves.
