"By sharing our own data and stories of sustainability in action, we hope to open-source some of our practices and empower others to take action." Safe to say we're inspired by Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group's 13th Sustainability Report, published this week. Their commitments towards the environment include introducing Winnow's AI food waste measurement technology to all 40 of their hotels around the world. Keep up the hard work! 👏 🌱 🌏

We're thrilled to be a part of the SHA community! Here's to driving impact through collaboration 🚀

We’re feeling energised post a couple of days in the Netherlands at Towards Halving Food Waste in Europe. The conference brought together representatives from companies, public and scientific organisations, and civil society with high ambitions of halving food waste by 2030. The only way we will achieve Sustainable Development Goal 12.3 is by coming together to eliminate food waste at all levels in the supply chain. A special thank you to our IKEA friends Cihan Kökler Jan Douw and the team at IKEA Eindhoven - as part of the programme we paid them a visit to learn first hand how they manage food waste, supported by Winnow’s AI measurement tools. IKEA announced they had cut food waste in half across all 400+ of their stores worldwide in 2022 - well ahead of the UN's global goal. Here’s to collective action, sharing knowledge, and inspiring others to halve food waste by 2030! Congratulations Stichting Samen Tegen Voedselverspilling for organising an inspiring event. #SamenTegenVoedselverspilling #ClimateAction #TechForGood

“We believe that there doesn’t need to be a trade off between the environmentally right thing to do and the economically right thing to do.” Our founder and CEO Marc Zornes discusses the financial opportunity of reducing food waste on this recent episode of The Sustainable Hospitality Podcast. Marc founded Winnow in 2013 on the belief that food is far too valuable to waste, and that technology like AI can help us to challenge what we throw away.

We’re thrilled to share the results of Hilton’s 2024 Green Ramadan campaign. Following the success of Green Ramadan 2023, where food waste was reduced by over 60%, this year's initiative expanded across 32 hotels in seven countries, serving 239,000 guests during iftars and suhoors. A collaboration between Hilton, UNEP West Asia, and Winnow's AI food waste tools, the campaign seeks to create a blueprint for more sustainable consumption within the travel industry. Participating hotels in the UAE and Asia broke through food waste awareness barriers through interventions like emotive guest messaging, smaller portions, live cooking stations, artfully reduced food displays, and switching to à la carte menus. Building on key learnings and results from Green Ramadan 2023, the 2024 campaign saw waste reduced by a further 21% - preventing 7.4 tonnes of CO2e emissions, or 488,523 smartphone charges. A huge congratulations to the Hilton team for pioneering impact at scale. There really is no time to waste.
