LOOKS LIKE GOOD FOOD, FEELS LIKE A GOOD CAUSE

For us, every day is World Food Day. We feel that it’s our responsibility to lead the fight against food waste. To remind the world not to take food for granted, but to treat it with respect. Unlike humans, food doesn’t judge us or discriminate against us. Food doesn’t value us any less or more depending on how we treat it. It gives and gives and takes nothing back.
Food is life. Respect.

As a global brand with a strong eco conscience, by adopting a Respect Food initiative, we champion the cause of reducing food waste. Our Respect Food initiative, along with our innovative product technologies, aim to inspire and help people fight food waste.

Join us and let’s #RespectFood together.

How much food do you waste?

Did you know that a third of the world’s annual food production ends up in the bin? That’s 1.3 BILLION TONNES of edible food wasted every year. In fact, it’s 4-times the amount of food that is needed to feed the 868 million starving people across the globe.

Respect Food Partnerships

Though fighting food waste starts at home, and is helped along by innovation, it takes real people with real vision to lead the charge.  Enter Chef Massimo Bottura and his cultural association Food For Soul.
