To Bernard Looney, CEO

I work in a busy BP fuel station and supermarket which includes a Wild Bean takeaway Cafe and a large range of Marks and Spencer and other branded food items. Every day myself and colleagues are instructed to throw away bin bags full of food waste which have reached their Expiry or Best Before Date.

Open letter text

The price of food has recently increased dramatically, and with many now being reliant on food banks, I feel BP, and indeed ALL supermarkets, should be doing more to cut down on food waste, and look at joining food waste heroes, Tesco, in offering their food waste to staff at the end of each working day.

Change may be happening.. we made the NEWS!
https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/poster-bp-garage-tells-staff-27815414 My story in the news. Change MAY be happening. BP's response "We are currently trialling a new programme in which colleagues working at our sites can benefit from surplus food from their stores. If this proves successful, we intend to roll this out at scale across all sites in due course." If you're a BP staff member benfiting from this, please post experiences in the comments. Thanks to Julia Banim for running the story

Thank you to everyone who has signed and commented on the petition so far....
Over 17,000 signatures! If you work in food retail and are seeing large amounts of waste at your own place of work please consider starting a petition through Organise so your CEO's can be made aware of this issue. It's clear that food waste is a huge problem at many of the major Supermarket chains. The cost of living crisis continues, and with retail staff being some of the lowest paid workers in the country, we need all the help we can get right now. Together we can make change happen.
