SUSTAINABILITY PIONEERS
COVER STORY ReFED
ReFED is a US nonprofit organization working exclusively on food loss and waste, launched in 2015 from a research project between industry, nonprofit and government leaders, called Rethink Food Waste Trough Economics and Data. “After the report was published, the authors realized they had the data, but there was no centralized organization that could accelerate action,” says Jackie Suggitt, VP of business initiatives & community engagement at ReFED. Nearly a decade later,
as food waste takes center stage in sustainability discussions, ReFED has developed the most comprehensive US dataset on the issue. “It’s not perfect, but we’re very transparent, and constantly improving it,” says Suggitt. “Our focus is on packaging decision-ready data to enable action.” ReFED has positioned itself as a key convener in the food waste space. A notable result is the US Food Waste Pact, a collaboration co-managed with WWF that unites restaurants, retailers, and manufacturers to accelerate progress toward their waste reduction targets.
