A global consumer business looked to combat the impct of food waste – where 60% comes from households – by using its own internal waste-reduction experience to positively influence its customer base and be recognised as a source of products, services and insights to help consumers reduce their own impact.
With a third of all food produced globally wasted every year, our client had committed to, and achieved, significant reductions in its own food waste. As a leader in food waste reduction, our client felt they could play a vital role in influencing and supporting their own customers with product that reduced waste – if only there was a greater awareness of their leading role in tackling this global challenge.
Xynteo was approached to devise a global programme to unlock systemic strategies for reducing food waste by enhancing consumer awareness of our client’s achievements as a way for enabling them to better serve their customers with waste reducing products, services, and insights.
