Sustainable approach

The bars and restaurants
at Ground Control are committed to
sustainable dining practices,
with a focus on short supply chains
and a goal of obtaining
Ecotable certification for all
operators.

Ground Control is taking concrete steps
to limit its environmental impact:
• Complete elimination of single-use plastic
through a shared dishwashing station,
• Waste sorting and recycling,
including food waste,
• Reuse of materials and furniture
in the site’s design,
• Repurposing and reuse
of event signage,

The venue supports several
social initiatives:
• Support for organizations promoting
access to education,
• Collaboration with the Refugee Food
Festival to showcase the talents
of refugee chefs,
• Hosting awareness-raising workshops
(climate, biodiversity,
food, mental health).
