CoCooking announced a business partnership agreement with Kobe city (in the south of Honshu island) on food loss reduction and sustainable food sharing.

In this agreement, through the use of food sharing service “TABETE”, joint efforts to reduce food loss will be made, and seminars for citizens and business operators will be held.

It is aimed at building a mechanism for food loss reduction and sustainable food sharing and raising awareness among citizens and businesses.

Kobe city has launched a food loss reduction cooperative store system in which citizens, businesses, and the government work together to promote the reduction of food loss.

The company is also engaged in various efforts to reduce food loss, including the dissemination and enlightenment of its purchasing behavior, which is to actively select food items laying on the front of product shelves, discounted products, and other products with short sales deadlines, and the provision of its smartphone app, the Food Loss Diary, which records unused foods and leftovers that are disposed at home.

Going forward, the company and Kobe city will continue working together to reduce food loss on a sustained basis.
