Been Management Consulting x Tommy Tomato, our new partnership!

Tommy Tomato delivers (hot) lunches full of vegetables to primary schools and daycare centers and has the mission to make all children vegetable eaters for life! Did you know:

  • 1 in 9 children in the Netherlands grows up in ‘relative poverty’, which means that pupils increasingly come to school with an empty lunch box or do not eat breakfast at home (Youth Education Fund)
  • 49% of teachers sometimes or often see junk food in lunch boxes: such as fries, hamburger, pizza and candy (DUO Education Research & Advice, 2022)

This increases inequality between children and decreases energy and concentration in the classroom. With vegetable lunches, lesson packages (S’Kool) and cooking lessons (Soeperchefs) for children, Tommy Tomato makes learning about vegetables fun and focuses on equal opportunities and healthy food for every child. A mission that fits in perfectly with how we are committed to the food transition!

At Been Management Consulting we donate 1% of our net profit to Tommy Tomato. With this financial contribution we finance the lunch for children whose parents cannot (fully) afford it and thereby contribute to equal opportunities and a healthy lunch for every child. In addition, we also contribute personally by having all our employees participate as assistant cooks in the “Soeperchef” cooking program. In this program, children from participating primary schools are taught to cook with vegetables in a fun way.

We are very much looking forward to this collaboration. On to even more vegetable eaters for life!
