Software-based food waste reduction system, Gander, has signed up to the Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP’s) Courtauld Commitment 2030, a voluntary agreement which brings together organisations involved in the food system to make food and drink production – and consumption – more sustainable.
Gander’s new commitment clearly communicates its ambitions to be a leader in sustainability. However, its immediate goals remain unchanged – to help retailers successfully reduce their food waste, improve their bottom line, enhance their sustainability credentials and save millions of food items from going to waste. In turn, this gives consumers access to perfectly edible food at reduced prices.
The new Gander Local Data Feed, via the new cloud platform, means it reaches more channels than before, leading to more people being connected to reduced food near to where they live. Gander will achieve its goals through building on the platform through link ups with Snappy Shopper, Olio and more, and by taking the service into new territories.
The Courtauld Commitment 2030 enables collaborative action across the 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.
The Commitment is a great fit for Gander, it says, as its principles for participation include exchange of information – where organisations share information for the common good.
Stacey Williams, business development director at Gander, said: “Adding our signature to the Courtauld Commitment 2030 shows we’re serious about collaborating with other organisations to make the food and drink industry more sustainable. By signing, we’re showing we are willing to be transparent in our endeavours and to be measured against the best in the industry.”
