Offering vegan and/or vegetarian food at company events

Employees have decided to follow a vegan or vegetarian nutrition.

The main reason for us is climate protection and sustainability. Avoiding meat and other animal products means significantly reducing the CO2 footprint.

Other reasons are:inclusion of Diverseconvictions and Beliefs: Offering vegetarian and vegan menus can facilitate the integration of employees who follow specific diets due to their religious or ethicalconvictions. For instance we have a colleague of the Islamic faith who doesn't want pork.

Adaptation to Health Needs: Theinclusion of vegetarian and vegan options can also benefit those with dietary restrictions for health reasons, such as lactose allergies or intolerances. As this is now widespread among the population, we also have a number of colleagues who are allergic to lactose in particular.

Promotion of Culinary Diversity: Introducing varied and culturally inclusive menus can enrich the dining experience for all employees, fostering curiosity and respect towards different lifestyles and cultural preferences.

Increase the feeling ofinclusion by adding a vegetarian and vegan menu for the employees who do not to eat meat or animal products.

During the course of the year, there are regular internal events at which food/catering is organised. Lists are made available here in which all employees can enter what they would like. There is then a special offer for vegans and vegetarians.

Understanding that giving up meat and animal products is a personal decision, that must be respected. As there is sufficient offer today, the procedure does not involve any major effort.
