Tesco partners with its suppliers to tackle food waste
Tesco's CEO, Dave Lewis, announced during a meeting of Champions 12.3 in New York that the company's suppliers will publish food waste data for their own operations within 12 months.
The suppliers will follow the steps needed to reduce food waste in their supply chain and will come up with innovative solutions to make it easier for consumers to reduce waste in their homes, according to Tesco's press release.
Furthermore, Tesco's businesses from the Republic of Ireland, Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic and Hungary published their food waste data, following four years of publication in the UK.
"Great progress has been made, but the reality is that we need many more companies, countries or cities committing to halve food waste by 2030, measuring and publishing their data and acting on that insight to tackle food waste. I am delighted that many of our major suppliers have taken this important step so we can work in partnership to reduce food waste," said Mr. Lewis.
The suppliers involved in the agreement are: Yeo Valley; Gomez; Branston; Greencore; Icelandic Seachill; AMT; DPS; Kepak Meat Division; G's; Allied Bakeries; Moy Park; Richard Hochfeld; Ornua; Cranswick; Samworths; 2SFG; Hilton; Espersen; Greenyard Frozen; Müller Milk & Ingredients; Kerry Foods; Bakkavor; Froneri; Noble.
