Food Loss and Waste Management

Our food waste experts are at your disposal, ready to guide you on your journey to understand, measure, report and reduce food loss and waste across your entire value chain.

Why reducing food loss and waste is a strategic opportunity

Food waste is not just a cost, it’s a systems failure. Every year, about one-third of the food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted. At the same time, companies with food waste programs typically see a 14:1 return on investment.

  • Recover lost margin, not just food
    Every unsold, unused, or discarded item is a sunk cost—from sourcing to storage to staff time. Tackling food waste is one of the fastest ways to recover margin without touching pricing. In some sectors, this can outperform marketing ROI.

  • Tell a better supply chain story
    Food waste reveals where overproduction, poor forecasting, or misaligned incentives exist. By surfacing these issues, you strengthen supplier relationships, avoid reputational risks, and build resilience.

  • Create value from what used to be waste
    Surplus doesn’t have to go to landfill or charity. It can be reimagined as a product, a partnership, or a platform for innovation. Upcycled ingredients, secondary markets, and food-tech collabs are all growing spaces.

  • Make climate action tangible
    Food waste contributes to 8-10% of global GHG emissions but it’s one of the few climate levers companies can act on immediately. No offsets. No waiting on tech. Real reductions, right now.
