科技賦能減少食物浪費
Sobeys 利用 FoodHero 轉移剩餘雜貨庫存
科技驅動的食物浪費削減方案，正協助 Sobeys 讓過剩食品得以持續流通，同時減少可食用食物送往堆填區的數量。透過 FoodHero 等計劃，現時已於加拿大逾 850 間門市提供，顧客可在過剩產品成為廢棄物之前，以折扣價購買。在 2026 財年，顧客透過此平台購買了 230 萬公斤食品，而 Sobeys 亦捐出 4,060 萬磅食物，支援超過 2,600 個本地慈善機構。整體而言，這些措施協助 Empire 相較 2016 年基準，將食物損耗及浪費減少 50.3%。
對雜貨零售商而言，將數碼折扣平台與捐贈網絡結合，帶來從過剩存貨中回收價值、同時達成可持續發展目標的機會。這類計劃亦有助吸引價格敏感的消費者、鞏固社區合作關係及降低棄置成本，展示減廢策略如何能同時帶來環境及商業效益。

Tech-enabled food waste reduction is helping Sobeys keep surplus groceries in circulation while reducing the amount of edible food sent to landfills. Through programs including FoodHero, available in more than 850 stores across Canada, customers can purchase discounted surplus products before they become waste. In fiscal 2026, shoppers purchased 2.3 million kilograms of food through the platform, while Sobeys also donated 40.6 million pounds of food and supported more than 2,600 local charities. Together, these efforts helped Empire reduce food loss and waste by 50.3% compared with its 2016 baseline.
For grocery retailers, combining digital discount platforms with donation networks creates opportunities to recover value from excess inventory while meeting sustainability targets. These programs can also attract price-conscious consumers, strengthen community partnerships and reduce disposal costs, demonstrating how waste-reduction strategies can deliver both environmental and commercial benefits.
