Food waste is a significant global issue where approximately one-third of all food produced goes to waste each year. Innodis, a leading food production and distribution company in Mauritius, recognises the severity of this problem and has taken a bold approach to tackle it. It initially set an ambitious target to redistribute over 25,000 meals during its Financial Year 2022-2023, but has already exceeded expectations by redistributing more than 35,000 meals in less than eight months!

Food waste can occur at various stages, such as production, handling, and at the point of sale. This results in lost food products, not to mention negative environmental impacts regarding their disposal. Innodis has partnered with FoodWise since 2019 to facilitate the donation of products to charities. Through this partnership, Innodis has reduced its food waste and ensured that products that were once difficult to sell now go to those in need.
