Real Impact, Baked Into Every Bite

These ongoing initiatives are active projects that the Sifted team is working on to reduce environmental impact and create a food system that works better for people and the planet.

Zero Food Waste Kitchens

We run every Sifted kitchen with a zero to low-waste mindset. Our chefs plan and prep with precision, adjusting portioning based on real-time data and consumption patterns.
  • Daily forecasting – reduces overproduction.

  • Consumption data – informs ongoing adjustments.

  • Comprehensive waste planning– empowers every team member to minimize waste.

All leftovers go to community partners and food scraps are composted.

Daily Donation Program

Sifted partners with local nonprofits in every market to donate surplus food daily. These donations are safe, high-quality meals prepared with care and delivered to communities in need.

  • Each Sifted kitchen is donation-ready with packaging, labeling, and protocols in place.

  • Built-in feedback loops ensure food reaches people—not waste streams.

  • Client impact reporting shows how many meals your company helped provide.

This is one of our proudest programs. It turns surplus into sustenance.

Climate-Friendly Menus

Our chefs are trained to design menus with climate impact in mind. From ingredient selection to protein balance, these dishes contribute to a lower carbon footprint without sacrificing flavor.
  • Plant-forward defaults reduce dependence on high-emission proteins.

  • Sourcing strategies prioritize seasonal, local, and responsible vendors.

  • Menu design that prioritizes whole ingredients and minimizes processing

We believe that delicious and sustainable can go hand in hand.

Emissions Tracking & Reporting

Food related emissions account for 40% of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Using peer-reviewed studies and global standards, we're calculating our emissions contribution with the goal of regular reporting on our reduction initiatives. We understand our place in the solution.
