Using FareShare as part of your waste disposal programme is easy. By using our service to divert your quality surplus food you not only reduce your landfill costs, you are also able to demonstrate your CSR commitment.
How does it work?
It couldn’t be simpler! We agree with you what types & quantities of food you would like us to take. We will agree a suitable time for it to be delivered to us, so that it coincides with your normal delivery schedules & minimises additional transport costs.
Is it secure?
We recognise that the integrity of your brand is paramount. This is why we carefully audit all of our beneficiaries to ensure they are distributing the food in the agreed manner. This requires all food to be eaten on site of the respective charity and that items such as ready meals are served cooked and on a plate, rather than handed over in their packaging.
At any time we are happy for you as a beneficiary to audit the complete supply chain. We are confident that you will be as happy with process as some of our current partners such as Nestlé, Sainsbury’s, Marks & Spencer, Kraft, Pataks, and Greggs the Bakers.
Nestlé UK has been working in partnership with FareShare since 2005. Prior to this partnership 100% of Nestlé’s surplus finished goods were going into landfill. One year later this was reduced to an average of 5%. Alastair Sykes, Chairman and CEO of Nestlé UK, says:
“No-one in the food industry wants to see good food go to waste. Partnering with FareShare means good quality food from Nestlé can benefit those who need it most… Millions of people in Britain can’t afford a healthy diet – the more food companies who come on board the more people FareShare can reach and the greater impact on society.”
