Bahrain: Carrefour, CBS save over 44,000 meals from waste

Carrefour in Bahrain has saved and contributed 44,210 meals — equivalent to 44 tons — to the Conserving Bounties Society, since the partnership began in January 2020.

This initiative helps reduce the amount of food waste, while raising awareness on the importance of food security. It also positively impacts the environment and the welfare of society.

So far, Carrefour City Centre, Carrefour Enma Mall, and Carrefour Jawad Dome Barbar have given 19%, 13% and 12% of total food waste contributions, respectively. Cumulatively, Carrefour Bahrain has provided 3% of all total food donations since the collaboration with Conserving Bounties started.

In total, the Conserving Bounties Society has contributed 1,393,638 meals by collecting food waste from several organisations since its operations started in 2014.
