In the United States, nearly 40 percent of food is wasted every year. Professional meetings and events significantly contribute to this problem, with uneaten delicacies and untouched platters quietly discarded after every buffet and coffee break, even though high percentages of meeting planners wish to host sustainable meetings. World Wildlife Fund collaborated with Astrapto, a sustainability consultancy, to survey meeting planners regarding their attitudes toward food waste prevention.

This white paper seeks to shed light on the gap between intention and action in addressing food waste in professional gatherings.
