Food Waste Reduction Partnerships

The Lidl Redistribution Partnership is With Neighbourly and Olio

This Lidl redistribution partnership has been announced as part of the brand's initiative to build on its anti-food waste strategy. The initiative is built on the brand's redistribution partnership with Neighbourly and now includes food sharing app Olio, which will grow from 20 locations to almost 200 across the UK. The partnership will see Olio volunteer Food Waste Heroes stepping in to help get surplus fresh produce, meat and bakery items to families, shelters and community groups who need it most when local charities can't make it.

A spokesperson for the brand commented on the Lidl redistribution partnership saying, "Our trial has already been rescuing 1,200kg of food every week. As we roll this out nationwide by the end of the year, we’re on track to save 5,000 tonnes of food annually – the equivalent of nearly 11.9 million meals. A massive thank you to our store teams and local volunteers making these pickups seamless every day.”
