From awareness to structured action
DNV's ViewPoint research shows that many organizations are already taking action on food loss and waste, but fewer have embedded those efforts into a formalized approach:
- 85% are taking some form of action.
- 44% have a formalized system in place to manage food loss and waste effectively.
The webinar explores how organizations can bridge this gap through practical action, measurement, ownership and more structured ways of working.
