Environmental Commitments

Last Updated: 31/12/2024

At Piderico, we recognise the importance of protecting the environment and reducing the environmental impact associated with food services and digital platforms. While Piderico operates as a technology marketplace connecting customers with independent restaurants and venues, we aim to encourage responsible and sustainable practices across the ecosystem of businesses using our platform.

Piderico provides a digital platform that allows customers to discover restaurants, place food orders, and make bookings. Restaurants and venues using the platform operate independently and are responsible for their own food preparation, packaging, delivery arrangements, and environmental practices.

Although we do not control restaurant operations, we aim to promote awareness of environmentally responsible practices and support restaurants that choose to adopt them.

We aim to operate our platform in a way that minimises environmental impact where possible. This includes:

• Operating digital services that reduce the need for printed materials
• Providing online ordering and booking systems that reduce administrative waste
• Encouraging efficient order management and communication between customers and restaurants

Food packaging used for orders placed through the platform is determined by individual restaurants. We encourage restaurant partners to consider environmentally responsible packaging options where possible, including:

• Recyclable packaging materials
• Compostable or biodegradable containers
• Reducing single use plastics where practical
• Minimising unnecessary packaging

We support initiatives that help reduce food waste and encourage responsible consumption. Restaurants may provide accurate menu descriptions and portion information to help customers make informed ordering decisions.

Piderico helps connect customers with local restaurants and venues. Supporting local food businesses can contribute to stronger local economies and may help reduce transportation distances associated with food services.

Environmental sustainability is an evolving area and we continue to review our platform and practices to identify opportunities to encourage responsible environmental behaviour among platform users and restaurant partners.

If you have suggestions regarding environmental practices or sustainability initiatives related to the platform, you can contact us through our support page.
