The new Directive (EU) 2025/1892 sets a clear direction for reducing food waste across the value chain, placing measurement, accountability and operational action at the center of compliance and sustainability efforts. This webinar will explore how EU policy translates into practical implementation within food service and hospitality operations, highlighting the role of daily decision-making, staff engagement, and structured management systems in achieving measurable results.
A dedicated focus will be placed on The PLEDGE on Food Waste, a certification scheme designed to help organizations implement practical food waste reduction measures through clear requirements, standardized methodologies, monitoring and independent verification. Participants will also gain insight into how certification frameworks support credible sustainability claims, strengthen compliance readiness and drive continuous improvement.
The objective of this webinar is to help organizations understand how emerging EU food waste policy can be translated into practical operational action through effective measurement, monitoring and certification. It will demonstrate how The PLEDGE on Food Waste scheme supports this process by providing a structured framework for food waste measurement, operational control and verified continuous improvement. The session also aims to show how reliable data, standardized methodologies and independent verification help organizations prepare for compliance while achieving measurable food waste reduction targets.
