A ground-breaking, industry-wide roadmap and toolkit
IGD and WRAP have led an industry-wide programme of work developing a roadmap for how the UK food industry will help achieve UN Sustainable Development Goal 12.3, consulting widely with businesses, trade bodies and others from agriculture, production and manufacture, retail and hospitality and food service.
Key benefits:
- Allows businesses to measure and report consistently, and with confidence;
- Helps food businesses take targeted action to reduce waste in their own operations, their supply chain and from consumers;
- Helps the food sector deliver against the Courtauld Commitment 2025 targets; and
- Helps the UK play its part in delivering the UN's Sustainable Development Goal 12.3.
