Costa Coffee signs world-leading pledge to slash food waste by 2030
Costa Coffee has signed up to the government’s pledge to help halve food waste by 2030.
Last month Costa Coffee attended the ‘Step up to the Plate’ symposium, hosted by the government’s Food Surplus and Waste Champion, Ben Elliot. Alongside several leading High Street brands and supermarkets, Costa Coffee pledged to act and help raise public awareness in partnership with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
Commenting on the pledge, Victoria Moorhouse, Head of Sustainability for Costa Coffee, said:
“At Costa Coffee we are committed to playing our part in reducing waste wherever possible. We have a number of initiatives to ensure there is minimal food waste, which includes, first and foremost, an efficient ordering system designed to reduce waste before it is created. We also allow food sold during the last hour of trading that is in date but cannot be sold the following day to be discounted by 50% and empower our stores to make food donations to local charities via our Food Surplus Policy. Finally, for those stores whose waste streams we manage, any food waste that cannot be redistributed we send to Anaerobic Digestion, where it is turned into biogas and bio fertiliser.
We are delighted to be working alongside government to drive change and share best practice, stepping up to the plate and delivering collective action.”
Environment Sectary Michael Gove said:
“Congratulations to Costa Coffee for stepping up to the plate and committing to game-changing action to cut food waste, the UK is showing real leadership in this area, and together we will end the environmental and economic scandal that is food waste.”
