Addressing Global Food Waste and Emissions

With about one-third of the global food supply wasted annually, addressing food waste is crucial for reducing CO2 emissions and spoilage. Relex’s advanced demand forecasting and supply chain planning have cut down unsold perishable goods, preventing the emission of 950,000 tons of CO2 equivalents. This aligns with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal to halve food waste by 2030.

Understanding and Managing Emissions

Given that 70% to 90% of emissions for Relex customers come from purchased goods, Relex is enhancing its platform to help businesses understand and manage these emissions. By integrating greenhouse gas metrics into their planning and optimization tools, Relex empowers customers to make sustainable decisions that lower their environmental impact.

“Over the last year, Relex has deepened our global commitment to sustainability,” said Svante Göthe, Head of Sustainability at Relex. “We are proud to have helped our customers prevent approximately 280 million kg of food waste worldwide in 2023 and provide more visibility into the carbon footprint of purchased goods.”
