As a guest, it is easy to make smart environmental choices when you dine at 'Iolani School with Sodexo. We know today's student wants to do the right thing for the planet and we also understand you lead busy lives, so your Sodexo Chefs and Managers do a lot of the work for your behind the scenes!.  

We purchase local produce whenever possible. We work closely with local produce distributors to maximize the fruits and vegetables purchased from local farms. Keep an eye out for our Shaka to know what's Local! 

Xpressnap Dispensers save energy and waste. The napkins are made 100% recycled paper and the dispenser will encourage customers to take (and waste) fewer napkinds. Energy is saved because less power is used to recycle paper products than to create them from virgin material

On campus we recycle the following products: carboard, glass, paper, and plastic

We continue to look for ways to be more sustainable while delivering dynamic offerings to the students.  We have worked to eliminate sytrofoam on campus as well as all working towards 100% compostable packaging for food. Sodexo North America will eliminate single use plastic bags and stirrers by 2019, polystyrene foam items such as cups, lids and food containers by 2025, and shift straws to a “by request” item that will still be available to customers who need them while moving toward more sustainable materials.
