CHARITABLE IMPACT

Working on Waste

From 2014 to 2016 the Working on Waste campaign engaged nearly two million people nationwide, raising employee awareness of household food waste and sharing tips on how to reduce it. 

The final stage of the programme connected non-competing companies through two interactive events ultimately creating a Champions Network to build lasting relationships and continue on the good work.
