The introduction of the Sustainable Food and Drink Policy in 2022 has guided the catering team’s efforts, with a focus on reducing beef options with their "Beef with Beef" campaign, and increasing plant-based offerings. Beef has been reduced by 86%, and the goal is to phase it out entirely by 2025. Non-dairy milk is now offered for free, and wild-caught venison has replaced beef in some outlets.
Initiatives like the MiCup reusable cup program, a levy on single-use cups, and the introduction of vegan menus have further supported the college’s sustainability goals. These changes are expected to significantly reduce Imperial's carbon footprint, while educational campaigns encourage students and staff to make more sustainable food choices.
