 The UK has one of the most concentrated groceries retail sectors in the world, with just five supermarkets controlling around 80% of the market. Tackling greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in these supply chains can therefore have a huge impact. But with thousands of suppliers, fierce competition between retailers, and less-than-perfect measurement tools, how can this actually be achieved?
In the latest AFN Network+ webinar, Dr Stephen Mackenzie, a Senior Specialist on the issue of GHGs in food systems at WRAP, digs into this for us. WRAP is the UK’s leading climate change NGO focused on waste and resources, and Stephen is playing a major role in the charity’s recently launched Retailer Net Zero Collaborative Action Programme, a major collaboration between WRAP, WWF and eight UK retailers that aims to accelerate progress on reducing GHG emissions in the food and drink sector through pre-competitive collaboration. |
