·    Anima France (formerly Assiettes Végétales)

Anima France is a nonprofit in France committed to ensuring that all people have access to healthy and responsible food by increasing the amount of plant-based food options in the catering industry.

Their goal is to ensure that the catering industry offers delicious, plant-based options, which serves as a powerful lever to act for the planet and its inhabitants. Dr. Bronner’s France and Anima France both recognize the need for plant-based nutrition. The majority of animal products are sourced from unsustainable models, and are harmful to the health of the environment, humans, and animals.

Anima France awards Assiettes Vertes (Green Plate) certifications to restaurants and cafeterias that increase the availability of plant-based or vegetarian options on their menus.

Anima France meets with stakeholders in the restaurant industry to support them in the implementation of a healthy and responsible plant-based option. They organized The Green Week with the Paul Appell University Restaurant in Strasbourg: A weeklong event during which collective restaurants offer and test different plant-based meal options, taking the first steps toward more ecological behavior.

Dr. Bronner’s France supports Anima France to expand their plant-based training program for cooks working in collective catering.
