Our country has reached its lowest food security level in over a decade. Today, on World Food Day, the Shoprite Group releases the South African Food Security Index 2024 to evaluate food security across four critical areas: availability, access, utilisation, and stability, highlighting the severe impact of economic and physical constraints on household hunger, particularly affecting children’s development. These insights are vital for informing the Group’s food-security programmes, an integral part of our sustainability efforts. By investing in initiatives like our Shoprite Mobile Soup Kitchens, community food gardens and supporting early childhood development (ECD) centres, we can contribute to a more food-secure future. #LetsActForChange #FoodSecurity

🌍 **WWF’s 2024 Living Planet Report: A Grim Wake-Up Call** 🌍 The latest WWF report is a sobering reminder that our planet is in serious trouble. The report, aptly titled "A System in Peril," reveals we're missing crucial global sustainability targets. From biodiversity loss to climate change, we’re falling short on many fronts: ❗ **50% of Sustainable Development Goals won’t be met by 2030** 🔥 **Global temperatures could rise nearly 3°C by 2100**, pushing us toward climate tipping points 💸 **Biodiversity plans lack the funding needed** to stop ecosystems from collapsing We cannot afford to keep ignoring the urgency of these issues. This is where the mission of Resq Bites becomes critical. At Resq Bites, we're not just about preventing food waste—we’re about fighting for the future of our planet. Every bit of surplus food we rescue helps reduce CO2 emissions, saves resources, and fights the waste crisis, contributing to the sustainable future we so desperately need. It’s clear: we need to act NOW, and Resq Bites is part of the solution. By reducing food waste, we help protect biodiversity and ease the burden on our ecosystems. Together, we can make a difference—one meal at a time. 👉 Let’s get serious about sustainability.

Proud to announce the nationwide rollout of our newly designed electronic waste recycling bins across Pick n Pay stores. In partnership with EWaste Africa (recycler) and the E-Waste Recycling Authority (ERA) (funder), this initiative not only increases access to e-waste disposal for our customers but also supports job creation for people with disabilities. For many years we have had smaller e-waste bins in our stores for lightbulbs and batteries. These new bins will handle a wider range of items, from cables to large appliances such as microwaves, helping us significantly expand our existing e-waste program. With a store footprint of 215 stores and a projected collection of 1,000 tonnes of e-waste annually, we are committed to reducing environmental impact and strengthening local recycling infrastructure. Thank you for helping put this together Ashley du Plooy, Joseph Jordaan, Grant McPherson, Pravashen Naidoo, and to Alderman Grant Twigg for joining from the City of Cape Town.
