Sustainability

Going green may seem a particularly daunting move, but many of us have made the decision to re-shape ourselves from the bottom up, improving our environmental profile and our public image, making financial savings and safeguarding against future environmental challenges. Despite the recent economic turbulence, one thing has become clear, there are profits to be made by embracing radical environmental policies and re-launching your business as a nature based eco-tourism destination.

The Ugly Duck Out, (TUDO), is starting to understand the growth potential of a legitimate green business and has developed an “ecotarian” style of dining and hospitality featuring local produce, sustainable seafood and harvest from the onsite herb and vegetable garden.

Our vision of “Serving Food for Fresh Thought” highlights:

Our reduction of carbon footprint and management of life cycle principle.

The importance of global benchmarking and accreditation

The purchasing policy to support those who protect the natural environment and sustainably produce food and fibre in a changing climate.

The people, planet, profit philosophy whereby health and wealth is ethically achieved, and not at the expense of other’s wellbeing.

The necessity to improve water, air and soil quality to ensure nutritious food for all in future generations.

An adaptable menu that features local produce sourced, prepared, and served to our guests knowing there is no cost to our environment for their dining experience.

The foundation to all our business policies, purchasing and marketing is ethics and sustainability.
