TAKING Bold Action Against Food Waste: A Year of Impact and Sustainability
At Goldex, we're not just about business; we're about making a tangible, positive change in the world. In March 2024, we made a commitment to tackle one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time—food waste. How? By partnering with Too Good To Go, a brilliant initiative that helps prevent perfectly good food from going to waste by connecting consumers with surplus food from restaurants, shops, and cafés.
​
This partnership has not only been an exciting step for us but a massive leap towards a greener, more sustainable future. And we’re proud to shout about the results from the rooftops!
In just one year, we’ve made a massive impact:
​
-
8,012 meals saved – that’s 8,012 delicious dishes that would have ended up in the bin, now being enjoyed by those who need them.
-
21,632 kg of CO2e emissions avoided – by saving all that food, we’ve prevented the release of over 21,000 kilograms of harmful CO2e, helping to reduce our carbon footprint significantly.
-
22,433m² of land use saved – the amount of land that would have been required to grow the wasted food has been spared, contributing to more sustainable land management.
-
6,489,720 litres of water conserved – that’s the same as keeping a shower running for 75.8 days straight! Every drop counts, and we’re doing our bit to conserve this precious resource.
-
74 one-way flights between London and Berlin avoided – in terms of emissions, we’ve cut out the equivalent of 74 flights! Imagine how much more sustainable our world could be if every company took small actions like this.
-
129,794 washing machine cycles saved – we’ve also avoided the energy consumption of nearly 130,000 washing cycles. That’s a whole lot of laundry saved from going through the wash!
​
These figures are more than just numbers—they represent a real shift in how we think about food, waste, and sustainability. Every meal saved is a win for the planet, and we’re proud to be part of a movement that’s not just reducing waste, but creating lasting change.
At Goldex, we believe in the power of business to do good. Our partnership with Too Good To Go is a testament to our commitment to sustainability and our drive to make a difference. We’re just getting started, and we’re excited to see what we can achieve in the years to come. Join us in celebrating this milestone and together, let’s continue the fight against food waste!
