According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 30% to 40% of the nation's food supply ends up being wasted. That adds up to billions of pounds every year rotting in landfills and emitting greenhouse gases like methane and carbon dioxide.
🌱 Mars cut GHG emissions 16.4% since 2015—thanks to 60+ ag projects, renewable energy, and a new $250M Sustainable Investment Fund.
Smart sourcing = climate action.
Public procurement can lead, too.

Olive oil producers are turning to biodiversity, circular systems & smarter sourcing to futureproof the industry.
For public procurement leaders, it’s a signal: sustainability is no longer niche—it’s a spec.

After two years of drought, disease, and soaring prices, the olive oil sector is bouncing back with a strong 2024/25 harvest. Producers are embracing sustainable farming, biodiversity, and eco-friendly packaging to protect against future climate and disease threats, ensuring this “liquid gold” remains a staple for generations to come.
♻️ Public procurement can drive sustainability—but only if we communicate it.
