“Making commerce more efficient shouldn’t just be about people and businesses. We also need to think about the bigger picture, like the impact on food waste. At Upside, we’re proud to not only connect retailers with local consumers, but also to make meaningful progress in reducing the environmental impact of the food sector, ” said Tyler Renaghan, Vice President of Retail at Upside.
“Upside has been instrumental in advancing our mission to create a more sustainable future, where everyone has access to nutritious food. Their support has been invaluable for our food recovery work. With their help, we’ve been able to expand into 42 locations across 24 states and DC,” said Dave Lampert, CEO of Food Rescue US.
“In the ever-changing world we live in, filled with challenges such as inflation, supply chain issues, and climate change, collaboration has become essential. Upside’s continued support of MEANS Database’s work to redistribute food to our neighbors in need is one example of a fantastic collaboration that benefits both people and the planet. Through this partnership with Upside, we have been able to redistribute over 394,600 pounds of food to people across the country this year, while simultaneously preventing 677,691 pounds of carbon from being emitted,” said Sammie Paul, Executive Director of MEANS Database
