Up to 40%1 of all food produced globally is wasted, while millions go hungry. Our ability to help bridge this shocking gap is one of the most important ways we can drive sustainable change. Currently, significant amounts of loss and waste happen in the food production stage.
Our expertise in food production puts us in a unique position to help address the problem of waste. Food supply chains can be strengthened and made more resilient by the adoption of efficient production facilities, food processing technologies and packaging solutions.
Innovating to reduce food waste
Cutting food loss and waste can deliver multiple benefits. That is why tackling this is one of our founding principles, and is an area where we believe we have a significant role to play. From our aseptic processing and packaging solutions, which protect perishable food, to added-value ingredients we make from food by-products, we’re investing in technology and processes that reduce waste and improve efficiency.
