The Food and Drink Federation publishes Ambition 2025 Progress and Mid-Term Review reports
Food and drink companies beat CO2 reduction targets five years early, leading to new sustainability commitments in far reaching report.
Tackling food waste wherever it occurs across supply chains is a key priority for FDF members. Particular emphasis is placed on driving out inefficiency in supply chains to prevent waste and surpluses from occurring in the first place, in line with the food waste hierarchy.
FDF members are committed to working collaboratively with their supply chain partners to meet the WRAP Courtauld 2025 and UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12.3 food waste reduction targets. This includes our support for important initiatives such as Step up to the Plate, the Food Waste Reduction Roadmap, and the Your Business is Food Campaign.
This is illustrated by the commitments the FDF has made around food waste within its Ambition 2025. These include the contribution we are making to the WRAP Courtauld 2025 target to reduce UK food waste by 20% per person by 2025 compared to 2015.
On 24 February, the FDF launched our Ambition 2025 Mid-term Review and Ambition 2025 Progress Report 2020 which was supported by a series of member case studies.
As highlighted in this year’s progress report, there has been exceptional progress in some areas, including:
The FDF also published a press release, with supporting quote from Environment Minister, Rebecca Pow MP. The launch has been extensively covered across the trade media.
