Catering and flowers

One Planet Plate

KTH strives for as low a climate and environmental impact as possible, therefore the standard choices for ordering meals (lunch and dinner) are according to the requirements of One Planet Plate . In 2024, One Planet Plate will be implemented for the contracts for everyday catering, fine dining and academic ceremonies.

Things to think about

Determine what catering will be needed during the event early in your planning as this will affect the number and type of space/venue that needs to be booked. Identify any factors in the event that might affect the choice of catering, e.g. cultural backgrounds, environmental awareness, number of visitors, etc.

Keep a close dialogue with the caterer and be sure to communicate any expectations. The majority of KTH’s catering suppliers are accustomed to KTH and the buildings and places used for events. They can provide good suggestions on what works and not in the different locations.

Remember to ask delegates about allergies and dietary requirements during the registration process and communicate these to the supplier in a timely manner.

Ordering catering

Catering suppliers are divided into two categories “finare catering” (fine dining) and “vardagsrepresentation” (everyday catering), orders for both of them are done in Wisum by designated employees. Contact purchasing manager for access if you do not have it and state name, department and contact details for yourself or the employee that should have access.
