🌟 This week, we highlight Walmart Canada's innovative efforts to reduce food waste across the supply chain. Since 2005, Walmart Canada has led waste-reduction initiatives. From 2015 to 2017, Walmart Canada cut food waste by 23%! Key actions include: 📉 Discounting repackaged or near-expiry products with the $1/$2 Bag Program. 🍞 Reducing over-production in bakery operations. 👩🏫 Providing training and resources to support employees. ♻️ Implementing organic recycling programs to convert unsaleable food into animal feed, compost, and energy. 🤝 Partnering with local food banks to maximize surplus donations. 📦 Improving packaging and food handling with suppliers. Walmart aims for zero food waste in its Canadian operations by 2025. "Food waste is a critical issue, and we have a unique role to play," says Rob Nicol, VP, Corporate Affairs, Walmart Canada. 📊 Globally, 31% of food is wasted, amounting to 1.6 billion tons annually in the U.S. alone. By 2030, this is projected to reach 2.1 billion tons, worth $1.5 trillion. In Canada, $31 billion worth of food is wasted yearly, contributing to 8% of greenhouse gas emissions. Walmart Foundation has invested $19 million to support Canadian initiatives and research on reducing food waste. 🚀 Walmart's commitment is a powerful example for other retailers.

🌟 This week, we spotlight Tesco for their trailblazing efforts in the fight against food waste. In 2013, Tesco became the first major UK retailer to publish its total food waste figures, aligning with the pledge to halve food waste by 2030. This transparency helps consumers understand where waste occurs and highlights the need for collective action. 🚜 By tracking 25 bestselling products from farm to fork, Tesco revealed that a staggering 35% of waste happens at home. In the first half of 2013 alone, 28,500 tonnes of food were wasted in stores and distribution centres. To combat this, Tesco collaborates with global experts and suppliers, including WRAP, to create comprehensive food waste footprints. Matt Simister, Tesco Group Food commercial director (in 2013, now CEO for Central Europe) emphasized, “We’ve all got a responsibility to tackle food waste and there is no quick-fix single solution. Little changes can make a big difference, like storing fruit and veg in the right way. Families are wasting an estimated £700 a year and we want to help them keep that money in their pockets, rather than throwing it in the bin." 🍅 Tesco is not just talking the talk but walking the walk by ending multi-buy promotions on large packs of bagged salads and continuously reviewing their processes to identify further waste reduction opportunities. Their commitment is a shining example for other retailers to follow. Together, we can make a difference. Let's get inspired by Tesco's dedication and take our own steps to reduce food waste. #FoodWaste #Sustainability #RetailInnovation #Tesco #ClimateAction #Inspiration Sources : https://lnkd.in/ej3qVY9B
