Employee Engagement:
A Key to Success
Engaging employees in food waste reduction initiatives creates a powerful, organization-wide commitment to sustainability. Employees are often closest to the daily operations where waste occurs and can identify inefficiencies or opportunities for improvement. Empowering them to take ownership of solutions transforms food waste reduction from a top-down mandate into a shared mission.
