Did you know that food production is responsible for as much as 25% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions? Shifting towards more plant-rich foods can make a substantial difference. That’s why we've teamed up with the World Resources Institute (WRI) to bring the Coolfood Pledge to healthcare facilities across Europe. Together, we are committed to cutting GHG emissions linked to food served in healthcare facilities and reducing its impact on the climate. Through the Coolfood Pledge, participants have the opportunity to: 🌱 Adopt science-based reduction targets for food-related emissions. 🌱 Track, calculate, and reduce their emissions. 🌱 Access best practices and support. 🌱 Receive personalised feedback. Ten healthcare facilities across Europe – representing 9 million meals annually – have already signed the Coolfood Pledge so far, reducing food-related GHG emissions by 7% per plate since 2015.
