Richard Thalemann

Advisor: Food Waste Working Group

Richard found his passion in the fight against food waste while successfully leading the UK Food Surplus Redistribution programme at Tesco - shifting the retailers' progress from 58% to 85% redistributed surplus in under a year across c.3,500 stores.

He believes that together and via ECR Retail Loss as a platform, we can accelerate all our efforts to tackle food waste by connecting businesses and organisations with a goal to reduce, repurpose and recycle food surplus, which in turn will have a significant contribution in reversing the effects of climate change.
