No Food to Waste: Addressing the Food Waste Crisis

Addressing the Food Waste Crisis for Investors, Corporates and Entrepreneurs
“If food waste globally were a country, it would be the third-largest source of greenhouse gas emissions after China and the United States.”
A staggering forty percent of the U.S. food supply is never eaten, the equivalent of over $218 billion in value, according to the recent Trillium and NRDC study, “Assessing Corporate Performance on Food Waste Reduction: A Strategic Guide for Investors.” The social, environmental and financial consequences of this large scale waste are widespread and ultimately, from an investor’s perspective, represent risks that cannot be ignored.
Join WISE, BASIC, and Net Impact Boston for a unique, collaborative event hosted by Greentown Labs to explore corporate best practices for evaluating and reducing food waste, the U.S. roadmap to reduce food waste at the regulatory level, the implications for institutional investors and how we can each make a difference individually.
We will begin the evening with brief introductions, then we will break into round-robin discussions with attendees rotating in small groups to chat with the speakers. Light appetizers and refreshments, provided by Trillium and ReFED, will be served.
