Welcome to Leaders in Environmentally Accountable Foodservice (LEAF). We help restaurants realize their sustainability potential & recognize them for doing so. LEAF is setting the standard for sustainable foodservice practices in Canada.

LEAF-certified restaurants serve local, organic food, reduce their energy and water use, use supplies made from recycled materials, reduce consumption and waste, and much, much more.

With LEAF, it is easier than ever to become a green restaurant. Our evaluation process is designed to help you get the biggest return for your investment dollar, and a LEAF Accredited Consultant is trained to get the process done as quickly and efficiently as possible. At LEAF, we believe in accountability and do not permit online or self-certification. LEAF certification is only available through on-site audits by LEAF Accredited Consultants in Canada.

Restaurants: As consumers become more knowledgeable in environmental matters and weary of green-washing, they will look for companies that are not only taking steps to reduce their impact on the environment, but also achieve accreditation by an independent third party. LEAF assures customers that you are taking action to reduce your environmental impact.
