Hospitality training programme for former homeless people 🤝 The pilot project took off in cooperation with #HousingFirst e.V. Düsseldorf and the street magazine #fiftyfifty. During a 4-week ‘hospitality training’ course in our test kitchen as well as our canteen in the Düsseldorf headquarters, participants are prepared for potential future work in the hospitality sector and can demonstrate their willingness, resilience and mental stability for work in the hospitality industry. ‘In order to really end homelessness and support sustainable reintegration into society, the integration of those affected into the labour market is crucial. We want to actively support this,' says Andrea K. Weber, who heads the project on our behalf. “We are happy to provide our expertise to this end, on the one hand by making resources available here on campus in Düsseldorf, but on the other hand we also see a great advantage in our close connection to the hospitality industry, which is desperately looking for workers”.

🗑 About 1.3 billion tons globally - according to industry data this is approximately one-third of all food produced for human consumption is wasted each year. As an international #wholesaler, we have committed ourselves as part of our #ESG strategy to taking action against food waste at all stages of the value chain and to halve the food waste generated in our own business operations by 2025.   This includes optimizing store inbound processes, ordering and Supply Chain Management, structured assortment steering and optimization, as well as collaborating with suppliers (e.g., addressing post-harvest losses) and driving product and technology innovations. On the other hand, through our close partnerships with #FoodBanks in 19 countries, we strive to donate as much surplus food as possible to prevent waste.

Grass, maturity and Irish serenity... ... that what makes our #ownbrand METRO Chef dry-aged Irish Beef so special. With lush green grass as far as the eye can see and laid-back locals, Ireland has a very special charm. It is also the ideal place to breed cattle for METRO Chef dry-aged Irish beef. The meat’s quality and flavour don’t just stem from the conditions in which the animals are kept. Special ageing rooms also play an important role. #MPULSE visited our long-lasting supplier Kettyle Irish Foods 📺 METRO/MAKRO #assortment #partnerships #productquality
