FM’s October Innovator of the Month Seattle’s new Climate Pledge Arena (CPA) and its food and beverage partner Delaware North are planning a premium menu of options for fans in both the suites and the general seating areas. Incorporated into the arena’s unique Climate Collective food and beverage program are a series of curated vendors, local ingredients and partners that capture the spirit of the Pacific Northwest and are designed to align with the venue’s status as the first-ever net Zero Carbon certified arena in the world.
Among the commitments the F&B operations are making are to source 75% of food ingredients from within a 300-mile radius and utilize certified USDA Organic produce where applicable. Other commitments include the use of 100% cage-free eggs, seafood meeting Monterey Aquarium’s Sustainable Seafood Watch rating, Rainforest Alliance or Fair Trade certified coffee, antibiotic- and hormone-free protein and 100% grass-fed beef where applicable.
Here’s a brief look at some dishes being planned for the venue…
