“Being recognised as Singapore’s No. 1 corporate caterer and receiving the EXSA 2025 reflects the dedication of our team and partners. We have always believed that corporate catering can be as innovative, memorable, and service-oriented as dining in a top restaurant, and these awards validate our approach. We would also like to thank our customers for their unwavering support.” said Ms. TL Tan, Head of Sales at Orange Clove.
Orange Clove’s operational investments include a centralised kitchen with cold-chain logistics to maintain consistent food quality and safety, as well as sustainable, heat-retaining packaging that enhances the dining experience while supporting environmental initiatives.
As part of its ongoing sustainability commitment, the company continues to advance its Clove for Climate initiative — a long-term pledge to champion eco-friendly practices across all aspects of its operations. Orange Clove was Singapore’s first caterer to offer biodegradable ware, introducing bamboo and bagasse plates, bento boxes, and wooden cutlery as alternatives to single-use plastics. Its paper cups are coated with plant-based polylactic acid instead of plastic wax, while serviettes are made from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)–certified paper.
Orange Clove also incorporates operational solutions to reduce waste and environmental impact. Reusable warmer bags are used for mini buffet orders, and traditional plastic bags have been replaced with custom-designed reusable tote bags to store self-heating trays, plates, and cutlery. The company also offers EcoPak water as a sustainable alternative to bottled mineral water and recycles used cooking oil into biodiesel — closing the loop in its pursuit of greener catering.
Through Clove for Climate, Orange Clove demonstrates that corporate catering can be both innovative and sustainable, setting a benchmark for environmentally responsible practices in Singapore’s food service industry.
Limited-Time Celebrations
To celebrate being named Singapore’s No. 1 Corporate Caterer, Orange Clove is offering special pricing on its signature Aurora Dessert Bar. First introduced as a pioneering concept in the catering scene, the Aurora Dessert Bar went beyond the traditional dessert table by combining oriental and western desserts in an upscale hotel–style showcase. Newly revamped, each piece is meticulously arranged and presented with exceptional attention to detail, reflecting Orange Clove’s commitment to innovation and elevated corporate dining experiences.
