Food waste reduction specialist Gander becomes a WRAP Courtauld Commitment 2030 signatory
SaaS-based food waste reduction system Gander has signed up to WRAP’s Courtauld Commitment 2030.
This is a voluntary agreement which brings together a broad range of organisations involved in the food system to make food and drink production - and consumption - more sustainable.
As such it enables collaborative action across the entire UK food chain to deliver farm-to-fork reductions in food waste, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and water stress that will help the UK food and drink sector achieve global environmental goals.
Stacey Williams, Business Development Director at Gander, says: “Adding our signature to the Courtauld Commitment 2030 shows we are serious about collaborating with other organisations to make the food and drink industry more sustainable.”
“By signing this Commitment, we are showing we are willing to be transparent in our endeavours and willing to be measured against the best in the industry. Success for us is success for the wider UK food and drink industry in meeting the Courtauld Commitment 2030’s ambitious goals.”
Catherine David, Director of Behaviour Change and Business Programmes at WRAP, says: “I’m immensely proud of what is being achieved through the Courtauld Commitment 2030 – our voluntary agreement to transform the food and drink sector in the UK.”
“With food and drink representing 35% of UK greenhouse gas consumption emissions, the work we are doing together on the most significant sustainability challenges that the sector faces - carbon reduction, improved water stewardship and food waste reduction - couldn’t be more important.”
“It is only through fundamental change like Courtauld 2030 is driving that we can reset our fragile global food system into a sustainable model that will feed us in the future and cut greenhouse gas towards net zero.”
