Co-op food waste
Donate 100% of their unused food to charity
Why is this important?
Every evening I watch my local Co-op staff dispose of perfectly good food, rather than reduce any of it for a quick sale. I feel strongly that this Co-op policy is an obscene waste of perfectly good food, when there are people in the UK going hungry every night. They spout about their 'ethical' business and strong 'social responsibility' - not very evident in this policy is it? Starbucks have bowed to pressure in the US and are now being petitioned in the UK. About time our home grown businesses stepped up to the plate, don't you think?
