Our commitments to the planet
In 2022, our “be the change” Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) charter has evolved to align with the Paris Agreement on climate. It formalizes Newrest’s long-term commitment to sustainable growth.
Reducing food waste
- Objective: 40% reduction in food waste originating from our operations (in financial value compared to total purchases).
- In concrete terms: Deployment of a pre-ordering tool to optimize meal preparation & our purchases, collaboration with associations that recover our unsold or short-dated products to redistribute them to people in precarious situations.
Improving waste management strategy
- Target: 50% of total waste sorted by 2030.
- In action: Implementation of selective waste sorting and contracts to recycle our waste when recycling channels are available, as for example in the United States through the transformation of bio-waste into natural gas to power the city’s homes.

Developing paperless processes
- Objective: 100% of our operational sites implemented digital solutions in their processes.
- And in concrete terms: Implementation of digital solutions designed to combine sustainability, efficiency and reliability. These initiatives not only reduce paper consumption, but also improve traceability throughout our operations.
