April 30th, Stop Food Waste Day
At Kobatsiaris Bros S.A., responsibility towards the environment and society is an integral part of our philosophy. On the occasion of Stop Food Waste Day 2025, we highlight the importance of reducing food waste, helping to spread the message of more responsible and sustainable food management.
Stop Food Waste Day, celebrated globally every year, serves as a crucial reminder: over 30% of food produced ends up as waste—equivalent to food worth $1.2 trillion annually. At a time when natural resources are under threat and millions of people live in food insecurity, change starts with every plate.
Our commitment in action
As a leading contract catering company in Greece—serving hospitals, schools, military units, and businesses nationwide - Kobatsiaris Bros S.A. has developed a comprehensive strategy to reduce food waste:
- Careful Menu Planning
We design menus with flexible portions and choices that reflect the real needs of our clients and consumers.
- Technology-driven Inventory Management
We apply advanced inventory monitoring systems to ensure optimal management and minimize surplus that could lead to waste.
- Staff Training
We continuously invest in the ongoing training of our team on proper storage, appropriate use of raw materials, and conscious waste management.
- Collaboration with Organizations and Communities
We support food surplus donation programs for vulnerable social groups, strengthening our social impact.
Reducing food waste is everyone’s responsibility
Food waste is not just about the food we discard. It also means:
- Wasting water, energy, and resources used to produce food.
- Increasing greenhouse gas emissions from the decomposition of organic waste.
- Contributing to global inequality in food access.
At Kobatsiaris Bros S.A., we believe that through daily actions and responsible choices, we can make a difference. With a vision for a sustainable and fair future, we continue to invest in innovation and practices that respect both the environment and society.
On the occasion of Stop Food Waste Day, on April 30, 2025, we emphasize the importance of individual and collective responsibility in reducing food waste and encourage clients, partners, and the wider public to actively participate in this global effort.
Let’s redefine our relationship with food together.
Because every piece of food counts. Every choice we make holds power!
