At L’Orygine and Vieux Carré, every action is designed to reduce our impact on the planet. Here is how we put that commitment into practice every day:

1. Local, seasonal and responsible sourcing

  • 80% of our ingredients come from producers located nearby, which cuts down on travel and supports the local economy.
  • We make the most of seasonal produce — fresher, more nutritious and gentler on the environment.

2. Whole-vegetable cooking & less food waste

  • Peels and trimmings become stocks, dehydrated preparations or the base of a dish.
  • Imperfect vegetables are turned into faux cheeses, fresh pasta or artisanal breads, for zero waste.
  • Plant residues from our establishments are collected and put to use, giving them a second life.

3. Recovering and redistributing food

  • Unused kitchen surpluses go back into our dishes of the day.
  • Our edible surpluses are given away through community fridges to support people in need.

4. Less packaging & over-packaging

  • We buy in bulk whenever we can, which avoids over-packaging.
  • Thanks to our lasting partnerships, our suppliers deliver fruit, vegetables, herbs and mushrooms in reusable containers.

5. Systematic sorting, composting & recycling

  • All waste is carefully sorted to get the most out of composting and recycling.

6. Clear communication and recognition

  • We explain our eco-friendly practices to our guests through our menus, our materials and our staff — a matter of transparency.
  • We shine a light on our partner producers, their growing methods and our positive impact on the environment.

7. Responsible governance & quality control

  • We apply ethical and sustainable practices right through our supply chain (suppliers, inventory, waste, energy).
  • We track our environmental performance with clear indicators (waste statistics, local purchasing, energy use).
