Climate change mitigation project, Project Drawdown, has pointed to food waste reduction as the number one solution to tackle climate change. Since 2018, AIB has partnered with FoodCloud, a non-profit social enterprise tackling the twin issues of food waste and food insecurity by redistributing surplus food from the food industry to their network of charity and community partners.  FoodCloud has helped ensure more than 100 million meals have gone to people and not to waste. During the first three years of the partnership 6,300 tonnes of surplus food were redistributed – the equivalent of 15.1 million meals and 20,353 tonnes of CO2-eq avoided. In Feb 2021 AIB committed a further €1.5m to support FoodCloud for another three years.

AIB are very proud to support TASC where two very different communities – Phibsborough on Dublin’s Northside and the village of Ardara in West Donegal – are the first to sign up to TASC’s pioneering new People’s Transition project.  It promotes a participative decision-making model that views climate action as an enabler for thriving local development, more jobs and better and healthier standards of living.
