Changing The Restaurant Industry For Good.
Every transformation starts with the decision to do better. The Green Cook empowers restaurants to understand where they stand, take meaningful steps forward, and make that progress visible — to guests, staff, and the entire industry.
The hospitality industry is responsible for a significant share of global CO₂ emissions — driven by energy consumption, food sourcing, and waste. If we want to meet climate goals like the EU’s 1.5°C target, restaurants must play a leading role in reducing environmental impact. Change isn’t just urgent — it’s possible. But it starts with recognizing the problem and committing to real action.
The Green Cook is where restaurants commit to doing better — for people, the planet, and the future of food. We offer a structured assessment tool to help restaurants understand their current impact, track their progress, and receive recognition for their efforts. Through our certification and recognizable door sticker, we make those improvements visible to customers who care. We’re here to support real change — not just good intentions.
Our mission is to make sustainable dining the new normal — without greenwashing, without guesswork. We guide restaurants with a clear, practical framework grounded in global sustainability goals. We highlight progress and celebrate those leading by example, proving that doing good and doing good business can go hand in hand.
