Civica unveils new software feature to help caterers cut down on carbon

08 Mar 2022
Global software provider Civica marks this year’s Food Waste Action Week with the launch of a new software feature which will allow catering providers to calculate and report on CO2 values for their foodservice and menus.

Civica Saffron is the ‘first catering management solution to integrate carbon values’, helping customers reduce their environmental footprint and deliver on their carbon reduction targets.

The new software has been unveiled during WRAP’s Food Waste Action Week (7-13 March), which Civica is proud to sponsor. Around a third of food produced globally is lost or wasted, which is having an impact on climate change.

Phil Jones, managing director (Saffron) at Civica, said: “Tackling food waste and cutting carbon are top priorities for our 300+ catering customers from the UK to New Zealand. Saffron’s new carbon footprint feature, which we’re delighted to announce today, will play a key role in helping our customers around the globe achieve their environmental ambitions.

“But food waste is a complex environmental and societal challenge and collaboration between business, government and leading charities like WRAP is therefore critical. For this reason, we’re delighted to support this year’s Food Waste Action Week. From helping our customers through our smart technologies to encouraging our colleagues to reduce food waste at home, there are lots of ways we can make a positive difference.”
