Sustainability is a core company value at FELFEL. We love our planet and try to keep our ecological footprint as small as possible. In order to be able to take sustainability into account as comprehensively as possible, we focus on the three dimensions of economy, society & health, and ecology.
We rely on small, Swiss producers, for whom it is difficult to generate sales compared to large industrial companies.
We focus on food that is classified as 'healthy' as well as on fair wages and long-term partnerships.
It is important to us that further generations find an intact nature. We are therefore committed to protecting the ecological system.
For us, acting sustainably also means that we work exclusively with small, local family businesses and thus support the best products from the region. Our fresh dishes are produced in Switzerland and in addition, the meat and many other ingredients come from Switzerland.
The proud Italian
The Story
FELFEL and Giovanni - a real Italian family story. We met Giovanni just as he founded his company: together with his wife, Giovanni cooked homemade pasta for us - and we were blown away. Since those days the small Sicilian family business has not only added a few employees to their clan, but also three bambini.

The cosy restaurant above Vals
The Story
"Ins Ganni - da gani" is the motto of Anke and Peter, who run the small mountain restaurant with 12 seats in Vals. With their Grisons recipes, our partner chefs cook hearty Swiss dishes for FELFEL.
The chalet restaurant in Château-d‘Oex
The Story
"Pierre-François is part of the family", as the people of Château-d'Oex like to say. With their Vaudois specialities, our partner Le Chalet create tasty, typical Vaudois dishes for FELFEL.
We offer a balanced diet that is based on the Swiss food pyramid. The FELFEL dishes are therefore made with purely natural foods that are clearly declared. We also ensure that the dishes are handmade and fresh. Artificial additives and highly processed foods often have hidden calories and are therefore taboo for us.
As enthusiastic food fans, we’re very much against wasting and throwing away food. That's why we work together with the local Caritas organization and donate leftovers from the FELFEL vending machines to them. This way, we can not only minimize food waste, but also support people in challenging situations with hearty and healthy food.
Conserving resources and avoiding unnecessary waste is very important to us at FELFEL. To keep our menus fresh and protected, they are carefully packaged in PP containers that are 100% recyclable. For this purpose, we provide each company with a recycling bin, empty it regularly and take the packaging to Swiss recycling partners in a climate-friendly manner using our biogas car. PET bottles can be disposed of via normal PET recycling.
Our coffee is a matter of the heart. That's why, as with FELFEL, we’re guided by the three dimensions of sustainability: From organic farming, to porcelain cups and no aluminum capsules: Learn more about sustainability at Gavetti.
