1. A day to stop food waste
April 24 is officially Stop Food Waste Day, an international day of action to reduce waste and build awareness. Compass Group is joining in that action by enlisting its chefs to prepare and serve meals without creating any food waste. Globally, about 3 million zero-food-waste meals will be served throughout Compass cafes in hospitals, schools, arenas, corporations, museums and senior living communities. To build awareness and mobilize the public, the foodservice company has partnered with celebrity chefs such as Jose Andres and Tom Colicchio, who will lead live cooking demos, host zero-waste dinners and educate consumers on food waste reduction.
