White Signature

What White Signature does

White Signature is the premium event catering brand operated by ISS Catering NV, a Belgian private limited company wholly owned by ISS A/S, the publicly-traded Danish facility services group founded in 1901. The brand delivers full-service catering for corporate events, conferences, galas, product launches, festivals, and sporting/cultural events across Belgium, supported by a luxury "White Signature Fine Dining" sub-brand featuring chefs with Michelin-star experience. Operations are anchored at a central production kitchen and logistics facility at BluePoint Antwerp (25 multifunctional rooms accommodating up to 600 participants), with the parent ISS network providing seven regional offices across Belgium and Luxembourg.

White Signature monetizes through customized, event-based professional services engagements; pricing is bespoke per event, varying with guest count, menu selection, and service requirements (no public pricing tiers). Its proprietary technology stack centers on Eezytrace, an exclusive digital food safety and traceability platform that ISS is the only Belgian food service operator to use, complemented by a partnership with Ecotarian to display CO2 impact scores on dish-level screens in corporate restaurants. Approximately 85% of services are delivered in-house for quality control, supported by a 729+ FTE catering workforce and a parent-ISS Belgium organization of roughly 8,000 employees serving 5,000+ customers.

The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting Belgian corporations, government bodies, healthcare providers, and educational institutions. The catering division grew revenue from approximately EUR 45.6 million in 2021 to nearly EUR 98 million in 2024, earning a Trends Gazelle 2026 nomination (Large Companies – Brussels) and an EcoVadis Gold certification (79/100, top 5% in the facility services sector). Differentiation rests on ISS's 100+ years of facility management heritage, modern production infrastructure, single-point-of-contact service model, and visible sustainability commitments including the Cool Food Pledge and Green Deal "Transition Protéique 2.0" protein-transition partnership.
