CFA members redistribute millions of food items, including chilled ready meals, sandwiches, desserts, pies and soups. In 2023, 12.4 million meals (up by almost 3.4 million onthe previous year)
went to those in need through partners such as Company Shop and FareShare. Since 2017 approximately 50 million meals have been redistributed by our members.
This is in line with CFA’s target for waste reduction with members helping to deliver against the UN’s Environment Programme’s Sustainable Development Goals 12.3 food waste target of a 50% per capita reduction in food waste by 2030 (based on our 2012 level). CFA continues to support WRAP’s Courtauld Commitment 2030, maintain its zero waste to landfill status and continue to redistribute surplus foods.
