Ahold Delhaize increases commitment to slash food waste in half by
2030
Ahold Delhaize joins “10x20x30” initiative
launched today in New York
Zaandam, the Netherlands, September 25, 2019 – Ahold Delhaize
today announced it will extend its commitment to cut food waste in
its brands’ operations. The reduction is in line with the global
goal of reducing food waste by 50% by 2030. It will also initiate
partnerships with its suppliers to further reduce food waste. This
new target further builds on our 2016 commitment to reduce food
waste by 20% by 2020.
Supporting this commitment, Ahold Delhaize has joined the World
Resources Institute’s ‘10x20x30’ initiative, which brings together
10 global food retailers that will each engage with 20 of their
priority suppliers to halve their rates of food loss and waste by
2030. Ahold Delhaize is a founding partner of the initiative, which
was launched today during Climate Week in New York. With this
commitment Ahold Delhaize fully supports the United Nation’s
Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Target 12.3.
“Reducing food waste in our stores and distribution chain is the
right thing for our business, for the climate, and for improving
food security. We join this exciting initiative to support momentum
across our industry and create new innovations for reducing waste
in partnership with suppliers,” said Frans Muller, President and
CEO of Ahold Delhaize.
Food waste reduction is a key component of our Leading Together
strategy as we work toward a healthy and sustainable future. Ahold
Delhaize brands across the U.S. and Europe have implemented many
changes in the past years to reduce food waste in our operations,
such as improving technology for store ordering and developing
partnerships with local communities to donate unsold food to people
in need. With this new target, we commit to accelerating
partnerships and innovations - in areas such as packaging,
discounting, fresh quality analysis, and smarter logistics.
“Wasting less food is critical to conserving natural resources
and improving food security,” said Megan Hellstedt, VP Sustainable
Retailing. “We have identified improvements to make in our own
operations for the coming years and will ask our key suppliers to
do the same.”
