ESG Goals & Actions
The WRI Food Loss Waste Protocol was established to help address wastefulness within the global food system. Worldwide, one-third of all food that is produced is lost or wasted before it reaches consumers. This inefficiency is responsible for 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions and equates to $940 billion in economic losses annually.
The 10x20x30 Initiative is helping food retailers and providers drive change in the industry by supporting their suppliers' efforts to reduce food loss and waste. All 12 founding partners have inspired nearly 200 commitments from their suppliers to cut their food loss and waste by 50% by 2030. Together with their vendors, these companies have developed concrete actions to combat food insecurity, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help establish sustainable business models for the future.
