Aldi has extended their partnership with Company Shop Group to help reduce food waste.
The Company Shop Group is the UK’s leading redistributor of surplus food and household products. The Company will be working closely with Aldi, where items will be sold at discounted prices to help those in need.
Since first collaborating in 2015, Company Shop group has helped Aldi prevent over 14,700 tonnes of food going to waste.
Liz Fox, Corporate Responsibility Director at Aldi UK, said: “Reducing food waste is incredibly important to us, and we know that by rolling this scheme out nationally, it will make a huge difference to communities in Halton.
“The work that Community Shop does is vital to so many people and, sadly, the demand it is seeing for surplus food is currently higher than ever. By extending our partnership with them, we can make a positive difference together.”
Gary Scott, Executive Chairman for Community Shop, added: “We’ve worked with Aldi for a long time now and are incredibly excited to be able to extend our partnership with them.
“The surplus stock that we redistribute through Community Shop is a lifeline for so many people, and by rolling out the partnership to Halton, we can deliver positive impacts for people and communities on a much greater scale.”
