When we waste food, we also waste all the energy and water it takes to grow, harvest, transport, and package it, compounding the environmental impacts of a decision to throw food away rather than find delicious ways to reuse it. At Compass Group we align with IFWC's mission to lead by example when it comes to tackling food loss and waste
