The Eaternity Awards

The Eaternity Awards

Eaternity establishes the new standard in gastronomy: Daily CO₂ calculations of all served menus bring transparency to nutrition - and help in the decision for a sustainable and responsible lifestyle. Climate-friendly menus are marked with the Eaternity Awards. This distinguishes those menus which have a particularly low CO₂ value.

To this end, Eaternity has developed a CO₂ calculator which, based on study data and well-founded estimates, combined with current information on delivery and production conditions, calculates the CO₂ value of each individual menu in restaurant operations. Furthermore, a comparative value is established, which is based on the average of the complete existing menu offering of all participating restaurants. With the Eaternity Awards, approximately 50% of CO₂ emissions can be saved compared to this average menu in the restaurant.

We Make Chefs Climate Heroes

Sustainable Food: Healthy, Delicious, and Environmentally Friendly
Decisive for the ecological balance of a product are, on the one hand, the conditions under which certain products are produced. The production of beef, for example, causes a comparatively high burden on our climate. In addition, there are varying factors such as seasonality, transport, and processing. All factors together result in the climate balance of a food product. As a general rule: Those who want to eat climate-friendly should rather choose plant-based instead of animal products and pay attention to seasonality and regionality.
