Vipiteno is home to several LEITNER office and production locations, but come lunchtime, the unity in our diversity shines bright. Regardless of where we start our day, we all convene at the centrally-located canteen in Unterackern. This isn’t just about food; it's about our commitment to sustainability.
Eco-Friendly Commuting to the LEITNER Canteen
Recognizing that not all team members are based in Unterackern, LEITNER ensures that commuting to lunch doesn't compromise our green values. For our city-based colleagues, the company covers the cost of public bus tickets, reducing the need for individual cars. And to sweeten the deal? There's a dedicated bus stop right outside the canteen, exclusively for lunch hours! Those stationed closer can opt for company-provided bicycles for a quick, environment-friendly ride to lunch.

Innovative Canteen App Curbs Food Waste
Feeding a large workforce means producing a vast quantity of food daily. Traditionally, this also means significant food wastage. Addressing this, LEITNER introduced a canteen app, empowering employees to view and select from the weekly seasonal menu. From appetizers to fresh fruits, employees can pre-order their preferred dishes by 9 am, enabling precise food preparation and reducing waste. The South Tyrolean catering company Markas, sharing the same values, is using seasonal and regional products for our daily lunch. The origin of the ingredients, together with nutritional values and allergens can be found in the app and taken into consideration when ordering lunch.
Every step, no matter how small, steers us closer to a reduced ecological footprint. At LEITNER, our daily choices reflect our unwavering commitment to sustainability. Stay tuned for more insights of our daily operations at LEITNER in our next episode!
