What's in store for the planet report 2023
The global food system is responsible for more than 30% of greenhouse gas emissions and 60% of biodiversity loss, and retailers – the bridge between those who produce our food and the consumers who eat it – have an essential role to play in reshaping that system.
In November 2021, WWF announced the WWF Basket - our ambition to halve the environmental impact of UK shopping baskets by 2030. We published outcomes and measures to define the targets the retail industry should work towards and explain how we’re measuring progress.
We are pleased to share our second report, which is an in-depth review of the UK food retail sector’s impact across seven key areas, showing the distance to go towards the ambition of the WWF Basket and providing recommendations to help drive progress in the years ahead.
