From achieving your commitments under Sustainable Development Goal 12.3 by reducing your food waste to boosting staff morale, working with FareShare will benefit your business in many ways.
Giving your surplus food to frontline charities helps you achieve your business’ commitments under the WRAP/IGD Food Waste Reduction Roadmap to Target – Measure – Act to reduce your food waste. It helps:
We will work with you to identify edible surplus food across your organisation then safely divert it through our UK-wide network of 8,500 charities and community groups, delivering measurable social impact in the communities you operate within.
As well as boosting businesses’ sustainability credentials, redistributing surplus food to charities also helps to engage customers and staff.
Fresh surplus food means charities can offer people accessing their services access to varied, healthy diet (by providing hot meals or food parcels). Additionally, the money the charities save on their food bills can be reinvested back into their vital support services. Without food from FareShare, one in five charities say they would have to close. Read some of our stories behind the meals.
Our pioneering Surplus with Purpose scheme can cover the extra costs of redistributing their unsold food to people who need it. Find out more about the Fund and if your business is eligible for funding.
