There are many hungry people in the world, yet a large amount of food produced is wasted. The problem of surplus food is present all over the world, especially in developing countries.

As many as 1.4 million hectares of land are used for food that will never be eaten, and in the world every year more than 17% of food becomes garbage.

By reducing the amount of wasted food, we can help those who struggle for basic living conditions, but also contribute to a sustainable future and the preservation of our planet.

Consumption of resources, such as energy and water, occurs in the processes of food production, processing, packaging, storage and transportation. Therefore, reducing the amount of wasted food requires the efforts of the entire food chain - from producers to consumers.

International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste is celebrated around the world on September 29, with the aim of reducing the huge amount of food waste on a global scale.

As a company that operates respecting ESG principles and strives to contribute to positive changes in our environment, we want to support this initiative.

Through the "Donate" functionality within the Banca Intesa Mobi digital banking application, we will enable clients to, if they wish, contribute to the organization Food Bank Belgrade.

It's simple - when paying and entering a certain amount within the payment order on the mobile application, you will automatically be offered the option to round up the amount and donate the difference. The amount that can be donated is rounded up to the next hundredth, up to a maximum of 100 dinars, where the difference is directly transferred to the account of the Belgrade Food Bank. You can donate money an unlimited number of times, without additional costs.

Food Bank Belgrade is a humanitarian, non-profit organization founded with the aim of contributing to the reduction of poverty, hunger and food wastage and is a member of the European Federation of Food Bank - FEBA.

Let's provide help to those who need it most and together contribute to the reduction of poverty, hunger and food waste. Save the planet for more sustainable future.
