The award recognises the successful implementation of its food waste project, demonstrating Fooditude’s commitment to sustainability and staff empowerment. The Employee Engagement Award honours those who inspire collective action by engaging their people in meaningful change.
Launched in January 2024, Fooditude’s food waste project set out to track and reduce food waste across client sites. The initiative brought together chefs, front-of-house teams, development, operations, and clients to build a new system to analyse data and change ordering practices.
Over the past year, Fooditude has reduced its food waste at its central production kitchen by more than 50%, with client site-level reductions of up to 57%. The programme’s success is rooted in a culture of accountability and collaboration.
Nathan Miller, managing director at Fooditude, said: “We are proud to have won the Employee Engagement Award at the Planet Mark Awards. This recognition is a testament to the passion and commitment of every member of our team.
“We believe that real change happens when everyone is empowered to take ownership and contribute ideas. This project has shown that, by working together, we can achieve extraordinary results for our clients, our communities, and the planet. I am incredibly proud of our people for making sustainability a core part of their daily work.”
The annual Planet Mark Awards celebrate those who lead with integrity, engage their people, and communicate their impact with purpose.
