ClimatePartner teams up with the Felix Project to reduce food waste and feed London’s hungry

The charitable partnership confronts a crucial local and global issue

ClimatePartner, a leading solution provider for climate action, is volunteering to raise funds for The Felix Project, a London charity which rescues surplus food that would otherwise go to waste and delivers it to those in need.

1.5 million adults in London struggle to afford to eat every day and 400,000 children are at risk of missing the next meal—meanwhile, our food industry generates 3 million tonnes of good, edible surplus food each year.

In this year-long partnership, the ClimatePartner London office will host a series of events to raise money for the cause, as well as provide the Felix Project with pro-bono carbon accounting and climate action consulting work.

This will help the Felix Project understand their positive impact through the ‘avoided emissions’ of re-purposing surplus food and support them on their own decarbonisation journey as a charity.

Emilien Hoet, Head of Climate Partner UK, says, “The team at ClimatePartner overwhelmingly voted to volunteer with the Felix Project this year because of the critical role it plays in our community and our environment: reducing food waste is purported to be the number one solution to fighting the climate crisis (according to Project Drawdown). It’s wonderful that we can engage in an initiative that saves good food from landfills and generates 61 meals for every £10 we raise.”

Will Savage, Corporate Partnerships Manager at The Felix Project, says, “We are delighted to be partnering with ClimatePartner for 2022. This year will be so challenging for so many, with large numbers of Londoners facing the prospect of not knowing whether their next meal is going to come from. Together, we can help provide good food to so many people throughout the city and continue the fight against hunger. The Felix Project believes in a vision of London where no-one goes hungry and good food is never wasted. We believe we can win the fight against food waste and hunger in London.”
