At Ninestone Holdings, sustainability is a core pillar of our business strategy. We believe that responsible sourcing, environmentally conscious operations, and inclusive menu development are essential to creating exceptional dining experiences that also protect the planet for future generations. Our brands — Rasel Catering and Purple Sage — exemplify this commitment through rigorous practices that align with our group-wide sustainability vision.
Rasel Catering has been recognised for its leadership in sustainable catering, most notably as the recipient of the Highest Tier Award 2023 under the Farm-to-Table Recognition Programme by the Singapore Food Agency. This distinction underscores Rasel’s dedication to sourcing from local producers, reducing carbon emissions, and incorporating environmentally friendly materials into its event setups.
Purple Sage advances the same values by prioritising locally sourced and sustainably produced ingredients across its menus. In addition, the brand offers a wide range of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options to accommodate diverse dietary needs, reflecting both environmental responsibility and inclusivity in its culinary approach.
Together, Rasel Catering and Purple Sage demonstrate Ninestone Holdings’ unwavering commitment to sustainability. By integrating innovation, environmental stewardship, and culinary excellence, we are setting new standards for responsible catering in Singapore while ensuring our practices benefit both our clients and the communities we serve.
