Rita Benecke and her deserving team at Vanderbijlpark were awarded the prestigious GFR trophy, along with a cash injection of R50 000 towards future eco plans. The eco-friendly restaurant has multiple waste management initiatives in place, various water and energy saving techniques, an
on-site vegetable garden, staff incentives to keep everyone motivated and their involvement in multiple community projects is truly inspiring.

“I am proud of our staff involvement and the initiative they have taken in our green effort. The pride in staff when they achieved the 93% Green Ops was amazing to see! Educating our staff and seeing them involved has been the greatest milestone we have achieved. Owner or operator buy-in is nothing without our staff.” Rita Benecke

Spur Corp’s Green Feather Reward (GFR) is an initiative that recognises and celebrates the outstanding efforts of restaurants within the group that have made significant contributions towards promoting sustainability, reducing their carbon footprint, and positively impacting the environment. Restaurants scoring above 80% in the Green Ops Report are invited to enter the GFR by showcasing their commitment to green initiatives such as reducing water and electricity consumption, implementing recycling programs, and sourcing food locally. The reward aims to encourage restaurants to continue pursuing sustainable practices and to inspire other businesses to follow their example.

Spur Corp is set on becoming an industry leader in sustainable business practice and through proactive collaboration with our Franchisees and Ops Managers, this commitment can be achieved. We look forward to supporting our Franchisees in their endeavours to become sustainable businesses that focus on serving people, planet, and prosperity for all.
