As 2013 comes to a close, 
Centerplate  at  the  OCCC 
looks  forward  to  expand‐
ing  its  overall  sustainabil‐
ity  efforts  by  continuing 
all  current  practices  and 
advancing  some  new  en‐
deavors in 2014. 
Some  of  the  on‐going 
sustainability 
projects 
include  the  composting 
program  detailed  above 

as  well  as  “smart”  sourc‐
ing,  new  local  menu  con‐
cepts  for  Retail,  and  a 
focus  on  repurposing 
kitchen  equipment,  roll‐
ing  stock,  and  overall 
physical space.    
New  projects  for  2014 
include  the  Vision  Tower 
Gardens,  on‐site  aero‐
ponic  gardens  capable  of 
producing  pesticide‐free 

herbs  &  vegetables  more 
quickly  &  safely  than  tra‐
ditional farming methods.  
Earning  Level  1  Certifica‐
tion  for  Food  &  Beverage 
through  the  ASTM/APEX 
Sustainability Standards is 
also a focus for 2014.  
Stay tuned for updates on 
these  new  projects  as 
well  as  other  items  of 
interest in 2014!

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Makes HUGE Impacts 
In  recent  years  ,  the  rise  of 
Corporate  Social  Responsi‐
bility  (CSR)  both  locally  and 
abroad  has  increased  tre‐
mendously.    Meeting  Pro‐
fessionals  International 
(MPI)  defines  CSR  as  a  con‐
cept  whereby  organizations 
consider  the  long‐term  in‐
terests  of  the  communities 
in  which  they  operate  and 
take  responsibility  for  the 

impact  of  their  actions  on 
employees,  customers/
members,  the  community, 
and the environment. 
Every  corporate  decision 
impacts  people,  planet  and 
profits,  the  so  called  “triple 
bottom  line.”  As  organiza‐
tions  increasingly  make  CSR 
a  business  imperative, 
meetings  and  events  are 

being affected by more and 
more  demand  for  sustain‐
able 
practices 
and 
“greening."  As  a  direct  re‐
sponse,  there  are  an  in‐
creasing number of industry 
standards,  benchmarks  and 
guidelines  on  delivering 
sustainable  events  and  so‐
cially responsible programs. 

Every corporate 
decision impacts

“triple bottom line.”

Centerplate (formerly The Lindley Group) Gains One Star SRA Rating 
Centerplate, 
formerly 
known as The Lindley Group 
in  Europe,  was  one  of  the 
first  two  operators  to  join 
the  Sustainable  Restaurant 
Association’s  (SRA)  contract 
catering model membership 
which  launched  in  2013.  
The  SRA  has  honored  Cen‐
terplate  as  a  One  Star  Sus‐
tainability  Champion  under

tensive  work  with  charities, 
local  communities,  and

The SRA honors Centerplate, formerly The 
Lindley Group, with its One Star Rating 
Overall Sustainable Trends for 2014 
After  carefully  reviewing  the  sustainability 
trends  that  shaped  2013,  there  are  some 
good reasons to be optimistic at 2014—even 
if  you’re  into  systematic  changes,  not  just 
incremental ones.  It’s not about choice edit‐
ing  and  ignoring  the  bad  news,  but  about 
identifying  which  sustainability  trends  be‐
came dominant and which ones are about to 
vanish. 
With that said, looking back at 2013 here are 
five  upcoming  trends  that  should  keep  you 
optimistic about sustainability for 2014: 
1.  Local is the new black.  IBM’s annual “5 
in  5”  predictions  report  states  that  in 
the  next  5  years  buying  local  will  beat 
online.  Shoppers want instant gratifica‐
tion.    Check  out  Farmingo.com  or 
GoodEggs.com  for  some  examples  of 
local buying networks that offer farm to 
fork options for the average consumer. 

2.  More  sunlight.    The power of the inter‐
net,  mobile  technology,  and  social  me‐
dia  will  make  it  increasingly  impossible 
to hide skeletons in the closet. 
3.  Upping the game.  The sustainable busi‐
ness world is getting more sophisticated 
and  “keeping  up  with  the  Jones”  will 
become  a  deciding  factor  in  business 
decisions. 
4.  Human  power.    Social  resources  are 
probably the most abundant ones.  The 
potential in terms of creativity of all this 
quantity of people is to create a sustain‐
able world.  
5.  Understanding  how  we’re  wired.    By 
understanding  how  we’re  wired  &  how 
to overcome our flaws, we can get peo‐
ple  to  behave  in  the  right  way  even  if 
not always from the right reasons.

  • 4. Overall Sustainable Trends for 2014  After  carefully  reviewing  the  sustainability  trends  that  shaped  2013,  there  are  some  good reasons to be optimistic at 2014—even  if  you’re  into  systematic  changes,  not  just  incremental ones.  It’s not about choice edit‐ ing  and  ignoring  the  bad  news,  but  about  identifying  which  sustainability  trends  be‐ came dominant and which ones are about to  vanish.  With that said, looking back at 2013 here are  five  upcoming  trends  that  should  keep  you  optimistic about sustainability for 2014:  1.  Local is the new black.  IBM’s annual “5  in  5”  predictions  report  states  that  in  the  next  5  years  buying  local  will  beat  online.  Shoppers want instant gratifica‐ tion.    Check  out  Farmingo.com  or  GoodEggs.com  for  some  examples  of  local buying networks that offer farm to  fork options for the average consumer.  2.  More  sunlight.    The power of the inter‐ net,  mobile  technology,  and  social  me‐ dia  will  make  it  increasingly  impossible  to hide skeletons in the closet.  3.  Upping the game.  The sustainable busi‐ ness world is getting more sophisticated  and  “keeping  up  with  the  Jones”  will  become  a  deciding  factor  in  business  decisions.  4.  Human  power.    Social  resources  are  probably the most abundant ones.  The  potential in terms of creativity of all this  quantity of people is to create a sustain‐ able world.   5.  Understanding  how  we’re  wired.    By  understanding  how  we’re  wired  &  how  to overcome our flaws, we can get peo‐ ple  to  behave  in  the  right  way  even  if  not always from the right reasons.  Source:  triplepundit.com  Upcoming Environmental Events  January 22/23 = Sustainable Foods Summit, San Francisco California  February 1 = Trash 2 Trends An Evening of Recycled Fashion, Orlando Florida  March 18/30 = Environmental Film Festival in DC, Washington DC  Centerplate  Treat guests like your business depends on it.    Orange County Convention Center  P. O. Box 691509  Orlando, FL  32869‐1509  Our mission is to make it better to be there.  Every time.   Everywhere.  Phone: 407.685.7545  Fax: 407.685.9859  E‐mail: molly.crouch@centerplate.com  By understanding what matters most—to guests, to fans,  to  communities—we  help  make  the  most  of  every  mo‐ ment  through  a  strategic  approach  to  hospitality.    We  craft  one‐of‐a‐kind  guest  experiences  that  reflect  pur‐ pose  &  place,  so  your  presence  is  valued,  your  returns  are  rewarding,  and  your  community  connections  are  authentic.  That’s the power of Centerplate.  Making it better to be there since 1929.
