In his role as guest editor of The Grocer, Walker said food waste was “a big issue” he was “passionate” about addressing in his new role as director of sustainability, with several initiatives being looked at, including redistributing more surplus food to Company Shop, signing up to Courtauld 2025 and developing an app.
