Barut Hemera has been awarded the 2025 Sustainable Food Award in recognition of the practices it has implemented to promote environmental responsibility, protect natural resources, and raise social awareness. This award once again demonstrates that Barut Hemera approaches sustainable restaurant practices with a holistic perspective and stands out as a leading example in this field.
Sustainable restaurant practices represent a comprehensive approach developed with the aim of reducing environmental impact, using resources efficiently, and leaving a livable world for future generations. This understanding is based on the awareness that restaurants are not merely service providers, but structures that carry responsibility for the environment, society, and the future. Within this framework, Barut Hemera is taking significant steps toward water efficiency. The use of water-saving fixtures, prevention of leaks, regular monitoring of water consumption, and implementation of efficiency-enhancing systems aim to reduce the water footprint. Waste management and recycling practices are among the fundamental elements of the sustainability approach. Through portion control to reduce food waste, separation and recycling processes, minimization of packaging waste, and preference for recyclable materials, the principle of “first reduce, then reuse, and finally recycle” is implemented across the entire operation.
Embracing environmentally friendly solutions in the field of energy efficiency, Barut Hemera reduces carbon emissions through energy-efficient kitchen equipment, LED lighting, and high-efficiency systems, while also ensuring the effective use of operational resources. In menu planning, the preference for local and seasonal products and the use of ingredients obtained through sustainable farming and fishing methods both reduce environmental impact and support local producers. This approach contributes to strengthening the sustainable food supply chain. The use of durable and sustainable materials in restaurant design and operational processes, along with the preference for long-lasting and recyclable equipment, limits resource consumption and waste generation. In addition, the use of environmentally friendly cleaning products to prevent chemical pollution and protect human health is among the priorities. The preference for reusable, eco-friendly, and biodegradable alternatives to reduce single-use plastics demonstrates Barut Hemera’s determination in combating plastic pollution.
The Sustainable Food Award earned through all these practices stands as a concrete indicator of Barut Hemera’s approach that places environmental responsibility at the center, beyond commercial concerns. Barut Hemera continues to pursue its sustainability efforts with determination, aiming to make environmental responsibility not a choice but a standard in the restaurant industry.
