One more step towards sustainable food
Our job is to support restaurant owners in their ecologic approach.
We have created an impact measurement platform, a directory of committed suppliers and educational resources to help foodservice professionals reduce their carbon footprint.
Measure your environmental impact
We produce a detailed analysis of restaurant practices through our environmental audit based on eight axes:
- Supply
- Menu
- Health
- Waste
- Resource
- Non-Food
- Ethical & Social
- Communication
On our sustainable catering platform Impact by Écotable, we offer a set of tools to identify committed suppliers and implement eco-actions within a restaurant's teams. The recommendations delivered by our team allow you to keep a roadmap and implement actions in order to move towards eco-responsible practices.

One of our missions is to make as many people as possible aware of the impact of our food.
For nearly three years, the podcast "Sur le Grill d'Écotable", hosted by Fanny Giansetto (co-founder of Écotable), has been deciphering the environmental, sanitary and social issues of our food.
