Saffron, ‘a marketing leading solution’ developed by UK-based global software provider Civica, is used by more than 300 customers across the UK, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Norway, and Sweden to help identify exactly when and where food waste occurs.

Armed with this information, clients can make informed decisions to proactively tackle food waste by introducing better stock control and managing portion sizes. 

Phil Jones, managing director of Civica, said: “Food waste is a serious environmental and societal challenge, as recognised by the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

“As with any complex problem, the key to tackling it lies in having a much deeper understanding of the causes, and it is here that smart, data-driven software has a critical role to play. Better data drives smarter decisions and better outcomes. Our market leading Saffron software is already helping customers to tackle the causes of food waste across the UK.”

ISS has committed to reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions within scope 1 and 2 by 2030 and full-scope net zero emissions by 2040, including its full supply chain.

As a major player within food solutions for the workplace, both in Norway and globally, we have an obligation to drive food sustainability.

“Our goal is to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the food we serve globally by 25 percent by 2030, from our 2019 baseline. In addition, we will halve the amount of food waste by 2027.”
