Fareshare are delighted to announce that Gousto has donated a grand total of 1 million meals to them.
“This partnership is such an important part of our purpose to have a positive impact on people and the planet, as we help put food on the table for those who need it, whilst continuing to tackle food waste. We can’t wait to create even more positive impact as our work with FareShare continues and evolves.”
Since Fareshare started working together in December 2020, Gousto has really prioritised minimising food waste. As well as sending food directly to Fareshare from their fulfilment centres they also take back undelivered boxes from their couriers, which are then diverted to FareShare.
This surplus food is then redistributed through our network of regional centres to charities and community groups across the UK. These groups then turn it into meals or food parcels for those who need it the most.
“We’re really proud to reach such an amazing milestone of having donated one million meals to thousands of different charities across the UK via FareShare, says Hugh Lewis, Head of Sustainability at Gousto.
“This partnership is such an important part of our purpose to have a positive impact on people and the planet, as we help put food on the table for those who need it, whilst continuing to tackle food waste. We can’t wait to create even more positive impact as our work with FareShare continues and evolves.”
FareShare Commercial Manager Hilary Nithsdale works closely with Gousto.
She says: “Gousto work tirelessly to achieve zero waste to landfill, starting with their fulfilment centres, then rescuing undelivered boxes from couriers and now we take 24 hour life product from them locally.
“They have dedicated colleagues at their distribution centres to manage their surplus to ensure it does not become waste.
“In between all of this, they remain completely dedicated to their customers with a market-leading proposition which includes offering great choice and a delicious range of healthy recipes.”
