The PLEDGE™ on Food Waste

Exhibitor

The PLEDGE on Food Waste is a pioneering third-party certification and benchmarking system designed to help hospitality businesses reduce food waste, cut costs, and boost sustainability performance. Built around a comprehensive methodology of 95 criteria, The PLEDGE empowers hotels, restaurants, and canteens to embed food waste prevention practices across their entire operations—from procurement and kitchen processes to staff engagement and guest communication.

Validated through independent certification bodies, such as SGS, The PLEDGE not only provides credible recognition but also delivers measurable impact. Properties that implement the framework typically achieve around a 5% reduction in food costs per cover while significantly cutting greenhouse gas emissions linked to food waste.

With growing legislation and customer demand for transparency, The PLEDGE equips businesses with the tools and data needed to comply with food waste reporting requirements, enhance operational efficiency, and position themselves as leaders in responsible hospitality.
