Raley's

Food Waste Reduction Strategies

• Partnering with Feeding America and Raley’s 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Food For Families, to ensure pallets of unsold food are donated to local food banks.

• Collecting donations from customers, team members, and vendor partners to alleviate hunger in the communities they serve.

• Streamlining donation processes and strengthening relationships with hyperlocal food agencies; Raley’s has donated more than 33 million pounds of food through its food rescue program as of the end of 2025.

• Utilizing three‑bin waste systems, supporting proper waste segregation and minimizing contamination.

• Partnering with Divert to convert material into sustainable energy that powers communities while returning nutrients to agricultural soils.

• Using advanced forecasting and dynamic pricing technologies to reduce excess on‑hand inventory and prevent avoidable food waste.

• Utilizing technology to review, track, and analyze waste streams by location, ensuring each store properly disposes of materials in the correct waste channels.
