Sustainability

Our Initiatives

Your Sodexo Campus Dining Team is dedicated to sustainability. We know we can all work together to make a positive impact right here at Limestone College. In addition to the many initiatives we take on as a company, we have implemented several programs specific to Augusta University.

Local Suppliers

We work closely with our local produce distributors to maximize the fruits and vegetables purchased from local farms. We also purchase from local dairies, and participate in farm to school initiatives. Tracking local purchases helps us to meet our Better Tomorrow Plan commitment of 20% local purchase by 2020.

Sustainable Fish and Seafood

We are committed to serving sustainable seafood and fish. Since 2015 100% of our fish and seafood is sustainably certified by the Marine Stewardship Council or the Best Aquaculture Practices. We do not purchase any at risk species.

Local Dairy

All of our fluid milk is purchased from local dairies that do not use rBST.

Recycling Fryer Oil into Biofuel

French fries to fuel. Indeed, our fryer oil is recycled into biodiesel that is used to power a variety of vehicles - from delivery fleets to farm equipment.

Recycling

On campus we recycle the following products: cardboard, glass, aluminum, paper, plastic.

Reusable To-Go Containers

The Atrium Dining Hall now offers reusable to-go containers for all patrons. Our dining program has eliminated the use of Styrofoam containers to help combat waste. Containers can be purchased from the dining hall for a one-time fee of $6.25 plus tax. Student may use flex dollars to purchase.
