Aramark

Foodservice

One of the nation’s largest foodservice companies with locations across the U.S., Aramark has made tackling food waste a priority, with a goal of reducing food loss and waste by 50% by 2030 against a 2015 baseline.

Food Waste Reduction Strategies

  • Educating employees across the organization about food waste prevention through learning modules that support analysis of production and service results to better inform future planning and forecasting.

  • Using technology-based waste tracking solutions like Leanpath and Aramark’s proprietary app ENABLE to quantify pre-consumer waste in over 675 locations with plans to expand.

  • Partnering with Food Donation Connection, the Food Recovery Network, Goodr, and other approved local recovery agencies.

  • Instituting a variety of other initiatives – trayless dining, post-consumer “Weigh the Waste” events, improved signage, plate waste studies, and operational sustainability trainings, to name a few – in locations across the country.
