Register here.

Attendees can join the discussion to understand:

• The solutions needed to eliminate wasted food at the retail level
• Why addressing wasted food should play an important role in a retailer’s ESG goals
• How the right tools, data, and knowledge can empower retail associates and employees to drive real change
• How to achieve the highest level of landfill diversion, optimize edible food recovery, and reduce costs

“Wasted food is not a one-dimensional problem,” said Ben Kuethe, VP of Customer Solutions & Success of Divert. “At the same time, understanding how and why wasted food happens and how to prevent it has traditionally been fragmented or surface level. Divert is tackling this problem head on and we believe that industry-wide collaboration and knowledge sharing is critical to solving this crisis.”
