Winning tenders shouldn’t feel like a second full-time job. Yet, for many contract caterers, proving your sustainability credentials and reporting climate data for each client still means digging through spreadsheets, manually calculating emissions, and piecing together ad hoc reports.
We built Klimato to change that.
If you’re in sustainable catering, you already know that climate-friendly services give you an edge with procurement teams. But the real win comes when you can quantify that impact (and communicate it clearly) without adding admin hours to your week.
Here’s how Klimato helps caterers automate climate reporting, reduce friction in the sales process, and win more contracts with less effort.
In both public and private sector catering contracts, sustainability has moved from a tick-box exercise to a strategic decision-maker.
Frameworks like the GOV.UK Procurement Policy Note 06/21 now require suppliers to account for carbon emissions and show a clear plan for reducing them. In Europe, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) expands that pressure to include Scope 3 emissions, meaning food-related climate impact is suddenly everyone’s business.
But what does that mean for you?
Catering teams that can measure and reduce the carbon footprint of food, and report on it seamlessly, are more likely to stand out in competitive tendering environments.
Klimato helps catering teams calculate the climate impact of every dish, meal, or menu using trusted Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data and the GHG Protocol. That means you can deliver accurate carbon reporting aligned with industry standards without the spreadsheets or guesswork.
Here’s what you get:
• Live emissions data for every dish
• CSRD-ready reports per site or client
• Tools that scale across large portfolios
• Smart dish suggestions to cut CO₂ without cutting quality
We’ve seen contract caterers use Klimato to streamline their operations and unlock commercial wins, from entering new regions to winning clients that demand detailed ESG reporting.
It’s one thing to tell clients you care about sustainability. It’s another to show them exactly how much climate impact you’re saving them, with visual, branded reports they can share with stakeholders.
Klimato’s reporting tools allow you to:
• Break down emissions by ingredient, category, or dish
• Benchmark performance across client sites
• Visualize improvements over time
• Export reports instantly, in a client-ready format
Your sales and account management teams can use these tools to differentiate your services, justify pricing, and create upselling opportunities around sustainability, all while building trust.
We’ve worked closely with catering teams who manage dozens (sometimes hundreds) of client sites. One recurring theme? Sustainability initiatives often stall due to lack of time or resources.
Klimato solves that by integrating seamlessly into your existing workflows. You don’t need to be a data analyst or sustainability expert—the application handles the heavy lifting, so your team can focus on food and service.
You can even generate individual sales and procurement reports at the push of a button, tailored for each prospective or existing client.
Whether you're bidding for a single new contract or scaling across several regions, Klimato adapts to your operation. The more sites you onboard, the more powerful your data becomes, helping you track climate performance across your portfolio and surface trends that drive both cost savings and emissions reductions.
And because we work with food businesses across Europe and the UK, we’re built to support multilingual, multi-country operations with local insights and global compliance in mind.
Sustainability is no longer just a brand value but a strategic lever. And Klimato gives you the tools to pull it.
From carbon tracking and GHG reporting to client-facing insights and branded emissions labels, our platform turns climate impact into a competitive advantage for caterers. All while saving your team hours of admin time.
