October 24 2022 - 11:00AM
Sodexo, a leader in quality, multichannel, and flexible food
experiences, celebrates the 10th anniversary of WasteLESS week,
October 24-28, 2022. Sodexo uses WasteWatch powered by Leanpath,
which allows Sodexo teams to easily capture food waste data—whether
food waste is generated in the kitchen or discarded by
consumers—and take action to drive cultural and behavioral change.
Since the partnership with WasteWatch by Leanpath began in 2008,
Sodexo has saved 9,716,393 meals in North America.
“Food waste is a global crisis, squandering precious resources
and driving climate change, all while putting unnecessary financial
pressure on foodservice organizations,” Leanpath Executive Director
Dave Britton said. “Sodexo is a global leader in addressing the
food waste crisis and setting an example for the industry at large.
We are proud to partner with Sodexo to reach the goal of cutting
food waste in half by 2030 through our tailored solution,
WasteWatch powered by Leanpath.”
“Everyone should care about food loss and waste. People around
the globe are facing food insecurity and the effects of climate
change,” Sodexo Manager, Sustainable Operations Jude Medeiros said.
“Let’s do our part by focusing on operational efficiency to reduce
food loss and waste at our sites.”
Sodexo is focused on preventing all forms of waste through
changes in processes, consumer education, and collaboration with
external partners. Sodexo aims to follow the principles of the
circular economy to ensure all waste has a beneficial use and by
promoting reuse, recycling, and composting to eliminate avoidable
waste going to landfills.
Globally, WasteWatch powered by Leanpath is deployed in 30
countries at 2,025 sites. In North America since 2015, Sodexo has
avoided and saved approximately:
- Total carbon emissions avoided: More than 37,000 metric
tons of CO2
- Total amount of food saved: About 12 million pounds
- Total number of meals saved: About 10 million meals
saved
- Total amount of water saved: About 131 million bathtubs of
