"As a global hospitality brand, Marriott International recognizes its responsibility to promote sustainability initiatives across its operations, including in food and beverage. We recently released The Future of Food 2025 trends report, where Conscious Cuisine stood out as a trend to watch, focused on food security and waste reduction. By hosting this competition, we aim to encourage and extend sustainable practices from food to the bartending community and reinforce new ways of thinking about the ingredients used in beverages", said Petr Raba, Vice President Food & Beverage, Asia Pacific excluding China, Marriott International.
