Partnership aims to reduce food waste in Radisson Hotel Group hotels throughout Europe

Radisson Hotel Group has announced a strategic partnership with Too Good To Go company in Europe to reduce food waste and have a positive impact on the climate. The new partnership aims to reduce food waste in Radisson Hotel Group hotels throughout Europe and the goal of the partnership is to locally redistribute the surplus food of Radisson Hotel Group hotels in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Norway, United Kingdom, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland via the Too Good To Go app. Since its activation, Radisson Hotel Group has already saved 15,367 meals from going to waste, which corresponds to a Carbon Dioxide reduction of 37.6 tonnes. 

It is estimated that 40 per cent of all food is wasted globally. The partnership with Too Good To Go builds on Radisson Hotel Group’s current work towards responsible consumption. Radisson Hotel Group has already implemented measures such as portion control and improved food storage to aid in preventing food waste, and is now taking the fight against food waste one step further by selling ready-to-eat meals on the Too Good to Go app. Too Good To Go is a social impact company dedicated to fighting global food waste and its negative impact on the environment, including the waste of other natural resources. 

"The latest figures on global food waste from the WWF have discovered the problem to be even higher than previously believed, with 40% of all food going to waste. We need to address this urgently to avoid going backwards on the progress we’ve made in recent years. It is through partnerships like this that businesses can make an impact at scale, which we have a responsibility to do, on the complicated issue of food waste,” said Mette Lykke, Chief Executive Officer, Too Good To Go.

“In light of the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste, we are thrilled to announce our partnership with Too Good To Go. It strengthens our positive impact and is fully aligned with our sustainability goals, including setting science-based emissions reduction targets. This strong partnership across Europe, highlights the importance of tackling food waste in reaching the UN’s goal of SDG 12.3, to cut global food waste in half by 2030,” said Inge Huijbrechts, Global Senior Vice President Sustainability, Security and Corporate Communications, Radisson Hotel Group.
