- The company declares to make donations that have involved at least 50% of its shops, involve more than 100 tonnes of food or at least 70% of the supermarket's total unmarketable food.
The company must specify that the donation is linked to reducing food waste and carry out this practice on a programmatic basis at least annually and provide some quantitative data (the % or number of shops that have participated, detail the total weight of food donated or % of total unmarketable food) and to whom it is destined (food bank, soup kitchens, animal welfare association, NGOs, etc.).
We will assign a "NO" if :
- The donations declared by the company correspond to marketable food (those made by clients or by the company itself in solidarity campaigns, for example).
- The company declares to make donations, but omits some of the following data: the % or number of shops that have participated, the total weight or quantity of food donated or % over the total of non-marketable food, name of the receiving entity (food bank, social canteens, animal association, NGOs,...).
