Sustainability
Together with Bon Appétit, Penn’s food service provider, dining has helped increase Penn’s commitment to sustainable practices with the goal of 21-50% (depending on season) of all ingredients produced locally using sustainable and organic practices. Food waste is collected and routed to a local organic composting facility.
Economic Inclusion
Bon Appétit and Penn Dining support the Dorrance H. Hamilton Center for Culinary Enterprises, which has as its mission cultivating and investing in minority food service entrepreneurs. Dining features products produced at the Culinary Center in its retail and residential facilities.
