Many fish stocks around the world are used at increasingly unsustainable levels, according to the . This has negative impacts on both aquatic ecosystems and the communities around the world who depend on seafood as a primary source of protein.

To help fight against this global problem, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Hospitality Services is working with Aramark, the university카지노 게임 컬렉션s foodservices provider, to source all seafood served at campus dining locations from suppliers with sustainable practices. This new policy took effect in February 2021.

카지노 게임 컬렉션By committing to sustainable seafood, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s will contribute to the protection of the world카지노 게임 컬렉션s oceans and the preservation of underwater ecosystems. As a university that provides meals to thousands of people on a daily basis during a typical year, our choices can have a real environmental impact, so it is important for us to promote sustainable food service wherever possible,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Jessica Bertrand, Wellness and Sustainability Manager, Hospitality Services.

When procuring food for the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s campus, Aramark will select only seafood product that has been certified by a recognized third-party sustainable seafood certifier, such as Ocean Wise or the Marine Stewardship Council, as identified by Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션s SeaChoice seafood guide or the Monterey Bay Aquarium seafood watch guide.

Sustainable seafood will be used at all Kingston campus food services operated by the university. These currently include the three campus dining halls, Lazy Scholar, and Location 21. As more on-campus services resume after the pandemic, all other Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s-branded retail locations, along with the Donald Gordon Hotel and Conference Centre and Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s catering, will also serve sustainable seafood.

A variety of sustainable seafood options are now available to the campus community, including tuna sandwiches, daily in retail locations, as well as salmon, haddock, and basa on a rotating basis in the dining halls.

This new policy is the latest sustainability initiative implemented by Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Hospitality Services. Among other accomplishments over several years, the unit has reduced consumption of single-use items, increased food donations in the community, decreased food waste, and increased the amount of food procured from local and regional farms. Recognizing these efforts, Sustainable Kingston named Hospitality Services its Organizational Sustainability Champion of 2019.

Promoting sustainability across the university

Moving to sustainable seafood is a part of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s goal to promote sustainability on campus and around the world. Last fall, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s signalled its commitment to sustainability by taking part in the Times Higher Education 카지노게임사이트 Impact Rankings, which evaluate higher-education institutions by the work they do to advance the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

By procuring only sustainable seafood, the university is contributing to , which focuses on conserving and sustainably using the oceans, seas, and marine resources.

Principal and Vice-Chancellor Patrick Deane has also proposed that Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s align itself with the UN SDGs in his emerging strategic vision, which he has recently been discussing with the university community through a series of online town hall events.
