Aldi Australia has joined the Australian Food Pact (the Pact) to help eliminate food waste while creating a more resilient food system.
The Pact is a voluntary agreement that brings together more than 40 organisations from ‘farm-to-fork’ in the Australian food industry. Coles, Woolworths, and Mars Australia are some of the Pact’s existing signatories.
Aldi says its relationship with End Food Waste Australia will help it consolidate its position as a collaborative partner in food waste reduction in stores and throughout the value chain.
Furthermore, this strategic relationship will allow Aldi to more high-impact projects that make a “Good Difference” in reducing food waste.
“As a key player in Australia’s food industry, Aldi is passionate about making a Good Difference in this space,” said Daniel Baker, Aldi Australia’s director of national sustainability.
“While our ambition is to halve food waste in our operations by 2030, by joining the Australian Food Pact we want to make an even bigger difference by contributing towards the solutions that will make meaningful change across the value chain.”
In 2021, Aldi committed to zero waste in landfills by 2025 as part of its attempts to become more sustainable. The announcement followed Aldi’s decision to run solely on renewable energy.
