Nestlé is celebrating the theme of this year's World Environment Day by
participating in the 'Think.Eat.Save' campaign to prevent food waste and food
loss.
The campaign by the United Nations Environment Programme, the UN Food and
Agriculture Organization (FAO) and recycling organisation WRAP, is designed to
encourage people to become more aware of the environmental impact of the food
choices they make and to empower them to make informed decisions.
According to the FAO, about one third of global food production is either wasted
or lost every year. At the same time, one in six people worldwide go to bed
hungry and more than 20,000 children under the age of five die daily from
hunger.
Nestlé has been helping to avoid food waste ever since its foundation more than
140 years ago by transforming perishable raw materials such as milk, coffee
beans and cocoa into safe, value-added food products.
"Over the last ten years we have almost halved the quantity of waste generated
per kilo of product manufactured in our factories," said Pascal Gréverath,
Nestlé's Head of Environmental Sustainability.
"We are committed to further reducing food waste along the entire production
chain from farm to consumers and beyond, as well as to raising awareness of the
fact that the true value of food is often not reflected in its price."
