How ARAMARK defines sustainability:
"The ability to meet the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own
needs"
At ARAMARK Parks and Destinations, we have a deep respect for
and commitment to protecting and improving the environment. We work
to reduce our environmental footprint while delivering exceptional
operational results. We also offer expertise and practical
solutions to our clients to help them reduce their environmental
impacts. Throughout our corporation, we develop and implement
long-term environmental stewardship programs and policies within

buildings; energy and water conservation; transportation; and waste
stream management. We call these programs and policies Green

day!
