Tesco is first retailer in Malaysia to publish food waste data

Tesco donated 4.8 million meals made up of unsold but edible food since 2016 through collaboration with Food Aid Foundation and Kechara Soup Kitchen.

TESCO Stores (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd is taking a firm stance against the global issue that is food waste by becoming the first retailer in Malaysia to publish its food waste data.

Up to this point, Malaysia food waste data is mostly derived from household food waste which is estimated at some 16,688 tonnes daily, according to a report by the Khazanah Research Institute (KRI).
