Food Loss & Waste Reduction
With food waste being a large contributor to the global waste problem. Food Loss & Waste Reduction will help in meeting various Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which were set by the United Nations (UN). The reduction of food waste works to directly affect the SDG Goal no.12, most specifically SDG no.12.3 its objectives to "halve per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer level and reduce food losses along production and supply chains, including post-harvest losses by 2030". “Ajinomoto”, as a world food-leading company, is aware of these waste issues and aims to be a part of reducing environmental problems to create a waste-free society in the future.
As a global leading food company, Ajinomoto strives to promote sustainability in production and consumption, reduce food loss and waste, and mitigate environmental impact by maximizing the efficient use of resources along the value chain. Refer to data from the United Nations Environment Program's Food Waste Index Report, one-third of the world's food production, or about 1,300 million tons, is wasted every year, and the destruction of this food waste raises greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming by 8%. When food rot in a landfill, it produces huge amounts of methane which is a greenhouse gas at least 25 times as potent as carbon dioxide. Therefore, reducing emissions from the food sector requires changes at all stages, from producers to consumers.
Ajinomoto Co., (Thailand) Ltd. is dedicating to achieving a long-term goal of reducing 50% of food loss and waste through the entire value chain by 2025 by developing cutting-edge technology and implementation of the 3R principle (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) into all business operations throughout all factories and establishments. We realize the importance of efficient management of food loss and waste which is now a serious global issue. The company is dedicated to addressing food loss and waste to promote food security and sustainable production throughout the value chain. Moreover, The last fiscal year 2021, Ajinomoto Thailand has been able to reduce food loss and food waste by up to 43% (or 843 tons) versus the goal of 50% reduction by 2025 and is continuing to work on this issue until these days through various activities to maximize the efficient use of resources, such as excellent management of production without causing any waste, modern supply chain management using digital technology, waste reduction throughout entire product distribution activities, etc.
For the purpose that, Ajinomoto also has been conducting sustainability awareness campaign for employee continuously to motivate and build green awareness through several activities and knowledge sharing which emphasize to reduce and separate food waste in daily life by themselves with sustainability basic knowledge training, green office activity and iSAVE Project.
Furthermore, Ajinomoto aims to support the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Company integrates these goals into its business operations to ensure that the Company’s growth takes place in a sustainable manner. As above-mentioned, “Food Loss & Waste Reduction” consistent with sustainable development goals No.12 Responsible Consumption and Production; Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns (12.2 & 12.3) and No.13 Climate Action; Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts (13.3) as well as No.14 Life Below Water; Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas, and marine resources for sustainable development.
