What we stand for

Why we do what we do

The hotel breakfast has become something it was never meant to be: a commoditised logistics operation, built around efficiency instead of hospitality. Hotels are under pressure, guests are underwhelmed, and the planet pays the price of a system nobody designed to work this way.

We exist to fix that.

TLANT was founded to bring the hotel breakfast back into balance: for the hotel, the guest, and the planet. Not by selling products, but by changing how breakfast works: step by step, hotel by hotel, until 10,001 hotels have made the shift.

That's why we do what we do.

People over labels

The hotel breakfast industry is not known for being especially diverse, equitable or inclusive. Long shifts, low pay, and low visibility for the people who actually make breakfast happen. We cannot fix the whole industry on our own.

We can fix how we operate.

TLANT is committed to justice, equity, diversity and inclusion in everything we do. We believe all people are equal in dignity and rights, regardless of race, ethnicity, colour, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, neurodiversity, family status, immigration status, or any other social identity.

That belief shapes how we operate, how we treat each other inside the company, how we work with hotel clients and suppliers, and how we show up in the communities where we live and work.

Concretely, we commit to:

• Hiring based on merit and ability, never on who someone is.
• Paying people fairly for the work they do, with transparent salary scales that apply equally to the same work.  
• Using inclusive language in everything we publish, internally and externally.
• Making reasonable accommodations for workers, applicants, suppliers and customers who need them.
• Working with suppliers and partners who respect the same principles, and challenging those who do not.
• Representing the communities we serve with respect in everything we publish and produce.
• Taking action when we get it wrong. Anyone who experiences discrimination or harassment connected to TLANT can raise it through our grievance procedure, with full protection from retaliation.

We do not claim to be perfect. We do claim to be honest about what we are working on. Our progress against this commitment is published once a year in our JEDI update on this website. If you see something at TLANT that does not match this commitment, tell us at feedback@tlant.nl

Respect, all the way down the chain

Hotels feed millions of guests every morning. The food on those buffets travels through long supply chains, across borders, often through people whose working conditions we never see. Human rights aren’t an abstract topic for us. They’re built into the system we operate in.

TLANT respects human rights as set out in the international human rights framework.

We commit publicly to:

• The UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.    
• The International Bill of Rights, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
• The International Labour Organization’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.

This commitment applies to our own operations and to our value chain. We expect our suppliers and partners to respect the same standards. Where we identify actual or potential negative human rights impacts connected to what we do, we act to prevent, mitigate or address them, in proportion to our connection to those impacts.

We operate a public Grievance and Feedback Procedure that is open to anyone affected by our operations or value chain: workers, suppliers, communities, customers. You can raise concerns through feedback@tlant.nl, in writing to our office in ’s-Hertogenbosch, or anonymously through our external whistleblowing officer.

If you think we are falling short of these commitments, tell us. That’s what the procedure is for.

This commitment was approved by the highest governing body of TLANT on 4 June 2026 and is reviewed annually.
