The Courtauld Commitment is a series of voluntary agreements that has reduced the carbon and wider environmental impact of the UK food and drink sector. The first Courtauld Commitment was launched in 2005 at a Ministerial event at the Courtauld Gallery in London and has proven to be a long-lasting and powerful vehicle for change, agreements have been funded by UK Governments and the food sector, and delivered by WRAP.

The current phase of the Courtauld Commitment, the Courtauld Commitment 2030, has more ambitious targets than ever before, which fully align the UK with global environmental goals.

The UK has been subject to significant shocks since WRAP reported food waste data in 2020 (for the period 2015 to 2018). The impacts of Brexit, a global pandemic, the war in Ukraine, the cost-of-living and other economic and political uncertainties presented significant challenges for signatories. As a result, the reporting we see is not currently comprehensive enough to allow for reliable reporting of data this year. As an evidence-based organisation, WRAP is committed to accurate and reliable data, and for this reason the organisation will now report comprehensive food waste data, including household food waste, in 2023.

Meat in a Net Zero World is Courtauld 2030’s cross-industry vision to optimise productivity and minimise waste.

Recent work has concentrated on gaining a better picture of meat waste across three themes: homes, hospitality, and the animal feed industry. Working group members are helping to set priority engagement areas for each.

Collective efforts of the food sector delivered a 16% increase in surplus food redistribution with more than 106,000 tonnes of surplus food - equivalent to 253 million meals - redistributed with a value of more than £330 million.

The hospitality and food service sector continues to face significant challenges. Businesses across the sector nevertheless took action to reduce food waste. The Guardians of Grub e-learning ‘Cost Saving Skills’ 15-minute module and behaviour change course, Becoming a Champion, saw hundreds of users completing online modules.
