EAUC Pledge to Step Up To The Plate

30th May 2019

In May 2019 Ben Elliot, the Government’s Food Surplus and Waste Champion hosted a major symposium - ‘Step up to the Plate’ - at London’s prestigious V&A Museum.  Major players from the worlds of food retail and hospitality, along with social media influencers and well-known chefs, joined forces to pledge ground-breaking action to reduce food waste, a driver of climate change. 

EAUC pledged to join forces and commit to real action. 

Environment Secretary Michael Gove and Minister Thérèse Coffey were among the first to sign up to the Pledge – which includes a goal to halve food waste by 2030.  We also continue to support The Hospitality and Food Service Agreement (HaFSA) to help reduce unnecessary food waste.
 
Other food waste reduction campaigns from WRAP include Love Food Hate Waste, Food Waste Reduction Roadmap and the new industry campaign Guardians of Grub to tackle nearly £3 billion worth of food that is wasted every year across the entire hospitality and food service sector.
