On 1st March WRAP published an update to the Food Waste Reduction Roadmap. This latest version of the Roadmap aims to accelerate action to reach the Courtauld Commitment 2030 food waste target and Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12.3.
Factors affecting the food supply chain such as the pandemic, Brexit and the war in Ukraine have played a significant role in the need for the Roadmap refresh. As a result, WRAP are now urging Food businesses to commit and implement ‘Target, Measure, Act’ principles to ensure they future-proof their business for potential regulatory requirements.
The target remains aligned to SDG target 12.3, but the milestones across ‘Target, Measure, Act’ have been adjusted to reflect the progress made to date and what needs to happen to achieve the approaching ambitious target.
This latest update, along with new and updated introductory resources, and an updated Roadmap toolkit can be accessed here.
