- Encourage behaviour change by providing practical tips and tools to reduce food waste
- Foster a sense of responsibility and empowerment among participants to take action towards food waste reduction
The Food Waste Awareness Day received active participation from Simply Lunch employees, with over 80% attending and engaging with the stand.
