“If food waste were a country, it would be the third largest emitter of greenhouse gases,” explains our guest Pierre-Yves Pasquier during this interview.
The founder of Comerso, a company that helps businesses dispose of their unsold goods without throwing them away, but by donating them to needy charities, explains what a circular economy is and how it can be implemented in a tangible way.
First of all, it helps reduce food waste, which is beneficial for both the environment and society. Food waste contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and exacerbates food security issues in many regions around the world.
Moreover, by donating their unsold goods, companies demonstrate their commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) and enhance their brand image. This can foster customer loyalty and public trust in the company.
Finally, donations of unsold goods directly help those in need. Charitable organizations can redistribute food to disadvantaged individuals, which has a positive impact on the fight against hunger and food insecurity.
In summary, donating unsold goods to charities in need is an ethical, environmental, and economically wise decision for a company, benefiting society as a whole while enhancing the company's reputation.
