50% Food Waste Reduction through sustainable initiatives
As part of its ongoing commitment to sustainability and responsible operations, NCC has partnered with Leanpath, a global leader in food waste prevention technology, to strengthen food waste monitoring and reduction across its catering operations.
This strategic collaboration represents a major milestone in NCC’s sustainability journey, supporting a clear and measurable goal: reducing food waste by 50% through data-driven insights, enhanced operational efficiency, and continuous team engagement.
By integrating Leanpath’s advanced food waste tracking system, NCC will gain real-time visibility into food preparation, plate, and disposal patterns. This empowers operational teams to identify waste hotspots, refine production planning, and make informed decisions that significantly reduce unnecessary food loss, without compromising quality or service standards.
Leanpath’s food waste management solution moves beyond simple measurement to meaningful action.
Its AI-powered platform enables kitchens to easily capture preparation, plate, and donation waste, transforming this data into actionable insights. This level of clarity allows teams to act decisively, improve daily practices, and embed waste prevention into routine operations.
Commenting on the partnership, Faek Awaida, Catering Operations Director at NCC, said “Food waste is not just an operational issue, it’s a responsibility. By leveraging technology like Leanpath, we’re holding ourselves accountable and empowering our teams to make smarter decisions every day. This initiative directly supports our 2030 vision by reducing our environmental impact while operating more efficiently and sustainably at scale.”
The initiative reinforces NCC’s commitment to smarter resource utilization, sustainability leadership, and continuous improvement, while maintaining the high standards expected across its large-scale catering operations. Through innovation, accountability, and collaboration, NCC continues to take meaningful steps toward a more sustainable future.
