Caffé Nero Saves Meal Waste
Caffè Nero Ireland has saved than 21,000 meals from going to waste through its partnership with Too Good To Go, the world’s largest marketplace for surplus food. This partnership is one of several ways the coffee house brand is cutting food waste and operating more sustainably across its 23 locations nationwide.
Since the partnership began in September 2021, Caffè Nero’s efforts have prevented nearly 57,000 kilograms of CO?e emissions - the equivalent of saving millions of litres of water and avoiding the use of valuable land and energy resources.
Irish customers have embraced the initiative. More than 8,000 people have collected Caffè Nero Surprise Bags through the free-to-download Too Good To Go app, and most say they plan to return. The most engaged group has been customers aged between 26 and 36, a clear sign of growing interest in simple, sustainable choices.
Martin Groundwater, Head of Operations at Caffè Nero in Ireland, said:
"It’s inspiring to see how such a simple partnership can create real impact. Every Caffè Nero Surprise Bag rescued means good food enjoyed instead of wasted - and that’s something about which our teams and customers can feel proud."
Machaela O’Leary, Sales Manager at Too Good To Go Ireland, said:
"The Too Good To Go partnership with Caffè Nero Ireland is an example of how businesses and communities can tackle food waste together. By rescuing thousands of Caffè Nero Surprise Bags through the Too Good To Go app, Irish customers are helping prevent CO? emissions, save resources, and enjoy quality food that would otherwise go to waste. It’s inspiring to see such strong local engagement with this initiative."
