Sustainable Contract Catering From a Certified B Corp

Sustainability can become a collection of broad promises. LP’s B Corp certification gives clients something clearer to consider.

It means LP has been independently assessed against B Lab’s standards for social and environmental impact, made a legal commitment to stakeholder governance and published its performance through a public B Corp profile.

This is how seriously we take it. Talk the talk? We are doing the doing.

Certification is part of an ongoing journey towards continuous improvement and collective action, working with our stakeholders to provide sustainable catering every day.

Sustainable contract catering means making responsible choices across sourcing, menus, budgets and everyday service. At LP Food at Work, this includes:

• Ethically sourced food
• Seasonal ingredients and locally grown vegetables
• Excellent quality meat
• Creative plant-based dishes
• Healthier food, snacks and drinks
• Suppliers suited to each client and workplace
• A practical balance between quality, sustainability and price
• Ongoing review and improvement

The right approach will vary between a staff restaurant, smaller office cafe, corporate event and pantry service. We work with each client to agree what can be achieved within their space, service model and budget.

LP was built around good food, ethically sourced, served well and honestly charged for, every time.

Our menus combine seasonal ingredients, locally grown vegetables, excellent-quality meat, healthier choices and more plant-based food ideas. There is still room for familiar favourites and the traditional served with a twist.

Plant-based dishes receive the same creativity and care as the rest of the menu. We introduce new ideas, listen to feedback and look at what people choose, keeping the offer fresh without giving anyone a lecture.

Your food service has to work for the workplace and the budget behind it. We treat your money as if it were our own and offer realistic advice based on years of experience.

We call a spade a spade. If a sustainability goal affects cost, service or menu choice, we’ll discuss it openly. We’ll then look for practical ways to improve the offer while keeping prices sensible.

Sustainability needs to carry through the everyday service. LP applies the same principles across:

• Workplace restaurants and staff dining
• Workplace cafes for London offices
• Office coffee bars and barista stations
• Corporate hospitality and event catering
• Office pantry supplies, fruit and snacks

Our menus can also help make nourishing, seasonal food and healthier snacks easier to choose. The details vary by service, but the principles remain the same: good food, ethical sourcing, honest advice and sensible use of budget.

Choosing a B Corp caterer gives workplace, facilities and procurement teams an independently assessed framework to consider alongside food, service and cost.

LP’s certification makes our commitment to social and environmental impact more visible and shows that accountability, transparency and stakeholder governance are part of how the business operates.

We are also independent and founder-led. Chris and Richard remain involved throughout our client partnerships, giving you continuity, direct access and honest conversations about the service.

Whether you are planning a new workplace food service, reviewing an existing contract caterer or looking for a supplier that better reflects your organisation’s values, tell us what matters.

We’ll talk through the food, sourcing, service, budget and practical decisions involved in creating a more responsible workplace catering offer.
