Here’s what some of our users have to say about Guardians of Grub: Becoming a Champion:
“WRAP’s Guardians of Grub ‘Becoming a Champion’ online learning has been instrumental to IHG’s understanding of where and how our food is turning into waste. The ‘Becoming a Champion’ behaviour change course has really helped us to engage our teams on the value of food and reducing the impact of our food, and contributing to our net zero ambitions – protecting our profits, business and the planet.“
Hotel Food & Beverage Operations Director UK&I, IHG Hotels & Resorts

“Our nominated Guardians of Grub Champions did an excellent job of raising awareness within their teams and inspiring them to reduce food waste. Our teams found that just talking about wasted food influenced change and many of our sites put initiatives in place such as zero-waste dishes, utilising excess stock through menu innovations and donating surplus to the community, all of which were achieved through engagement on the Guardians of Grub Becoming a Champion pilot.” Charlotte Wright, Head of Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability, Elior UK; Current Chair of Hospitality Sector Council on Waste

“..really impressed with the quality of the Guardians of Grub: Becoming a Champion training materials.. Guardians of Grub is a great platform to get involved and get results”
Marten Lewis, Bluestone

“I can show staff our measurements of the wasted food we collect and it will lead to behaviour change, it’s as simple as that.”
