Restaurant Company Europe (RCE), a powerhouse with over 75 outlets across the Netherlands and a staggering turnover exceeding 200 million euros.
Familiar names like Loetje, Happy Italy, Stan, and Beers & Barrels all fall under the RCE umbrella.
200 million euros, a high turnover often signifies a company's significant impact on its surroundings.
This is where robust ESG regulations come into play.
These regulations ensure businesses operate responsibly, minimizing their environmental footprint, upholding ethical social practices, and maintaining strong corporate governance.
But with stringent ESG regulations in place, how exactly does RCE navigate this landscape and achieve such success?
On a recent episode of The Food Service Growth Show, I sat down with JacobJan van Duijvenvoorde, RCE's CFO, and Eric Maurits, their Director of Purchasing and ESG, to get the inside scoop on ESG regulations and how they're making it work for them.
One of the key components of ESG regulations is understanding and managing the different scopes of emissions.
Scope 1.
Direct emissions from owned or controlled sources.
This would include emissions from company vehicles or on-site fuel combustion.
Scope 2.
Indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling consumed by the reporting company.
Scope 3.
All other indirect emissions that occur in a company’s value chain.
For example, emissions from purchased goods and services, waste disposal, and transportation.
We delve into important topics such as...
⇾ How ESG compliance can drive financial gains
⇾ How RCE measures and manages its food waste
⇾ What does the future look like for the F&B industry
So, if you're curious about how a leading company like RCE is navigating the world of ESG regulations while achieving significant growth, tune into the episode.
