EBOM-2009 MRc5:Sustainable Purchasing—Food

2 questions - first pet food, then people

1) There is a kennel on-site. Does this credit apply only to sustainable human food purchases or can we include sustainable dog food? 2) No food services on-site. Do we track individual, private food purchases?

Aron, I would see pet food as a gray area. The credit language simply says "food" so to be on the safe side I would include it, but if you didn't want to include it, you could make a case for that.I haven't seen anything specific about individual purchase being or not being included, but I assume they are not included, because a) including them would be a little too intrusive and diffiuclt to track, b) purchasing credits generally address management activities, and c) never heard it come up before.
