Food retailers and wholesalers take action to support sustainable operations through sector or company initiatives, reducing resource use and the environmental impacts of our operations. We innovate on packaging, help consumers and suppliers reduce food waste and phase out chemicals.
An Ecodes study has quantified the social benefit generated by the company at €42.5 million. Mercadona collaborated in the year 2018 with a total of 170 social canteens and other entities, among which it has distributed more than 8,300 tons of food worth €11.5 million. According to the report, thanks to this initiative, which is part of its social collaboration project, 12,900 families benefited from this support. The study based on SROI (social return on investments in its acronym in English) reflects that the program carried out by the retailer generates a clear multiplier effect until reaching a contribution in 2018 that, indirectly, exceeded €42.5 million in social returns.
