Leanpath commemorates prevention of more than 65M meals’ worth of food waste

Leanpath has surpassed its goal of preventing food from going to waste by the end of 2025, having prevented the equivalent of more than 65 million meals from being wasted in the past two years.

The London-based food waste solutions company joined 123 Pledge, a global effort to reduce food waste, in 2022. Along with several other global organizations, Leanpath says it sought to reduce food waste in alignment with the United Nations’ Sustainability Goal 12.3 to reduce food waste by half before 2030. Leanpath initially set a goal of preventing 50 million meals’ worth of food waste by the end of 2025.

"We are incredibly proud of achieving this milestone ahead of schedule," Leanpath CEO Andrew Shakman says. "This achievement isn't just a number; it represents a significant step forward in our collective fight against food waste and climate change. Our clients prove every day that with the right tools, food waste is a solvable problem that can deliver both financial and environmental benefits."

Since 2004, Leanpath has aided food service organizations in cutting food waste by an average of 50 percent. The Leanpath 12.3 Initiative aims to expand this reach by assisting educational and nonprofit organizations globally, providing expertise and free or reduced-cost hardware and software.
