Driving food waste reduction in the hospitality sector
Challenge
Sofies, now a part of dss+, partnered with the Pledge on Food Waste to support the hospitality industry in food waste reduction.
The Pledge on Food Waste is a 3rd-party certification and benchmarking system designed to reduce food waste, save on costs and nurture the local ecosystem of solution providers.Sofies supports the implementation of the Pledge by:
- Setting-up processes and documentation;
- Engaging both internal and external stakeholders;
- Implementing a food waste monitoring system; and
- Defining KPIs and supporting tracking and quantification of benefits and progress.
dss+ Approach
- In 2021, we supported the implementation of the Pledge on Food Waste of the Lux Le Morne, a 5-star luxury hotel, as part of a wider project in Mauritius.
- We offered technical and project management support, as well as communications and environmental assessment of benefits.
- Lux is expecting to obtain the All-Star certification, the highest score possible.
