The public will be listening to this and will note there is not binding legislation tied into this for the retailer to make sure we can do more to reduce food waste. Under the same remit, we are probably bringing in a nitrates regulation that will have reduction in the dairy herd, which is mandatory. Everyone should play their role regarding the significant figure of 8% to 10% of greenhouse gases coming from food waste. My colleague beside me and I were debating that figure 30 seconds ago. Is 8% to 10% the actual figure?
