SAVOR…CATERING by SMG and the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment
Center, makes several efforts to be part of a sustainable community within our
realm of the industry. We do so by using compostable serviceware, participating
in a defined recycling program, and promoting sustainable seafood menu
options through our sustainable seafood program “Seafood For The Future”.
Our substainable seafood program “Seafood For The Future” offers choices that
are farmed or fished in an economically, socially, nutritionally, and environmentally
responsible way. We also work with area farms to source local produce, dairy, &
artisanal cheese.
Even our décor is planned around using items that will be reused, recycled or
renewed, such as live plants, river stones, & other natural elements that will not be
thrown away after use. We want to provide every opportunity to preserve
our resources for future generations.
We Proudly Brew Starbucks®
Certified Organic and Fair Trade Coffees.

Seafood for The Future
SAVOR…
SAVOR… in exclusive partnership with the Aquarium of the Pacific, is excited to join
in the Seafood For the Future program, for the past 5 years we have been serving
sustainable seafood to all of our guests. We do this at every location as well as for
all the special events here at the Aquarium. With the growing concern for ecologically
sound practices, Seafood For the Future ensures that all the fish we serve is
harvested in ways to allow these species and their ecosystems to survive and
flourish throughout future generations.
We are presently expanding our support for the Seafood for the Future
program by offering sustainable seafood options on our menus, not just at
this venue but also at venues across the country within our organization.
We hope this will increase the awareness of our clientele and encourage
hem to educate themselves towards making more earth-wise choices.
SAVOR … currently works with distributors that share the same
passion for sustainability and eco-friendliness, and as concerned about
our environment as we are.

WasteCon Event
 
This week the Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center has the pleasure to
host the Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA) for WASTECON 2009.
The show draws professionals within the solid waste management industry to learn
about the newest trends and developments, network and experience cutting-edge
exhibits. Since a main focus of the program will be solid waste management and
reducing the effects of waste on the environment, our recycling programs and how
we handle our discarded items will be at the center of attention.
Local government officials have all eyes on Long Beach as we service this
important client this week.
SAVOR... has been working closely with the City of Long Beach to "beef up"
the current recycling program. The City was kind enough to provide additional
recycling containers, as well as large "Recycle Here" signs that will be sure to
grab the attention of attendees.Also, we have taken extra steps to ensure that
recycled materials are sorted by adding signage to recycling bins so that guests
are sure to choose the proper receptacle. We hope that these most recent
initiatives will help to minimize our carbon footprint for this and future events
here in Long Beach.
