"With shrinking margins and increased supply chain volatility, it's crucial for food businesses to take steps to understand where food waste is occurring in their value chains — and invest in solutions to reduce it and recover profits." Tanger continued, "To support businesses' efforts in food waste reduction and profit recovery, Deloitte has built robust waste and financial tracking tools. Retailers, restaurants and food-service providers should first identify where waste occurs in their operations and supply chains, then apply these tools to test, pilot and scale food waste solutions." "The ReFED project has been beneficial to inform Sodexo's waste strategy in the short term and inform considerations for the future," said Deborah Hecker, Vice President Corporate Responsibility, Sodexo.
