Our ambition is to show industry leadership on food waste, amplify redistribution to those most in need and enable a lasting positive impact in the community.
Targets
- Reduce food waste in our own operations by 20% by 2025 and halve it by 2030 (against a 2022 baseline).
- 100% of edible food surplus to be redistributed by 2025.
Food waste and hunger are urgent environmental and humanitarian challenges. At Ocado Retail, we recognise our responsibility and prioritise reducing food waste and increasing redistribution to address these pressing issues.
Globally, one-third of all food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted, impacting food security and the environment. Ocado Retail has long partnered with social enterprises, charities, food banks and initiatives to tackle food redistribution, including providing donations of groceries, cash and operational assets such as vehicles.
