At Bakers Delight, we bake everything fresh, every day, so nothing breaks our heart more than seeing our delicious leftover baked goods go to waste at the end of the day. That’s why our award-winning partnership with Too Good To Go, the world’s largest marketplace for surplus food, has become such an important part of our sustainability journey.
Together, we’re incredibly proud to celebrate the major milestone of saving 1 million Bakers Delight surprise bags from going to waste. This achievement has been made possible thanks to our customers and the more than 400 bakeries across our network participating on the Too Good To Go app.
Elise Gillespie, CEO of Bakers Delight, said, “Our partnership with Too Good To Go shows how we can take meaningful action on food waste while supporting our franchise network and delivering great outcomes for customers. Surprise Bags provide a simple, effective solution for managing surplus, while giving customers outstanding value. It’s a clear example of how small, everyday choices can add up to a significant positive impact for our communities and the environment.”
Accumulated across this milestone success, the 1 million Surprise Bags saved by Bakers Delight have successfully avoided:
- 2,700 tonnes of CO2e emissions from entering the atmosphere
- 810 million litres of water from being used unnecessarily
- 2.8 million m2 of land from being used unnecessarily for food production per year
"…Reaching this 1 million milestone with Bakers Delight - one of Australia's most loved and trusted brands - shows just how much of a difference we can make when a dedicated community comes together and demonstrates how small, everyday actions can make a big impact when scaled across a dedicated franchise network…" said Joost Rietveld, VP of Operations APAC at Too Good To Go.
Our partnership with Too Good To Go has proven to be a true win for everyone - a win for our franchisees, a win for our customers and a win for the environment. We remain committed to working together into the future to further reduce waste and create positive impact across our network.
