Opportunities for Irish food and drink suppliers

Dalata have been working on the development of their offer, engaging with
Irish suppliers through Bord Bia to develop menus using locally sourced
ingredients where possible.

Dalata are committed to only serve food sourced from Bord Bia Quality
Assured Suppliers who hold the Origin Green Certification on their hot
breakfast offer across Irish hotels.
A big emphasis is also on catering for guests with allergens with the
development of a full Allergens Policy including full information on
all menus. Dalata Hotels have also developed a Free From table in all
restaurants for breakfast, this offers a clear opportunity for suppliers.
As a leading PLC company in Ireland, Dalata understand the part they
have to play regarding Sustainability across the Irish and UK business. The
Company have set up an ESG Sub committee at Board level with a number
of pillar groups reporting to it.

The Environmental Steering Group looks at all areas where the impact
on the environment can be protected and works in conjunction with the
Procurement Team and Group Executive Chef on many projects around
Sustainable Procurement and Food Origin.

There is an expectation for all suppliers to have an understanding and a
proactive approach to all thing’s sustainability-linked.
