Solutions against food waste [EN]
Food waste, the current global issue, concerns Romania as well. A big portion of food remains every day, once our consumption is over. What to do with what is left, a couple of days before the expiry date?
Retailers like METRO came up with the solution of the food banks. Metro was one of the founders of the food banks in Romania, starting five years ago. During this time, the company donated more than 2000 tones of food products to the poor communities in Romania through the food banks.
More about this topic, in our AHK Podcast. A discussion with Ivonne Julitta Bollow, Senior Vice President Corporate Responsibility & Public Policy, METRO AG, after the Romanian-German Business Conference in Berlin. Enjoy the listening!
