End hunger in our communities

To help improve food security in our communities, we are focused on:

Accelerating donations
We are reviewing opportunities to increase donations through our Zero Hunger | Zero Waste Food Rescue program. This includes improved store execution of our current program, and working with our partners at Feeding America, WWF and others to include more items.
Applying analytics and insights
We are connecting insights from 84.51°—Kroger's customer insights and analytics team—with Feeding America's latest Map the Meal Gap data and other important inputs to identify areas where Kroger can uniquely contribute to ending hunger in our communities. This includes work with Feeding America's Center for Applied Research in Action (CARA).
Focusing on geographic hotspots
Leveraging these insights, we will focus on key areas of need in our communities around the country to test scalable solutions for improving food security for families.
Leveraging technology
We will evaluate and test innovative ideas and technology solutions that show promise in ending hunger and eliminating waste.
Raising awareness
Kroger helps promote the value of food, showing how to stretch the shelf life of food and waste less. We offer a monthly "Wilted to Wonderful" blog series on thekrogerco.com, featuring tips from our own Kroger Chef Brandon Fortener.
Commitment

Eliminate waste across our company

The Kroger family of companies is focused on preventing and reducing operational and food waste. As part of our 2020 Sustainability Goals and Zero Hunger | Zero Waste plan, we committed to achieve zero waste in operations and eliminate food waste. To understand our food waste footprint, we partnered with the World Wildlife Fund to study retail supermarket food loss and waste, collaborating with WWF's Food Waste Program leaders and analysts to:

  • Finalize the current state of food waste in our retail stores with year-end 2017 food loss and waste data
  • Set a baseline for achieving zero food waste
  • Establish a framework for transparency in food waste reporting
  • Create internal dashboards to report progress and celebrate achievements
  • Identify priorities for deep-dive work and pilot projects to reduce food waste
