REMA 1000 participates in Ch Approach / Supplier management / Data security / Products / Partnerships / Data At REMA 1000, we have Christmas surplus and distribute Christmas aid to those in need. — Today, we have participated in packing 1,400 packages for possibly Denmark’s largest single Christmas aid distribution. With the assistance of REMA 1000 Denmark, we have packed 700 kg of butter, 700 liters of cream, 700 kg of sausage, and 3.5 tonnes of pork roast. We have wrapped over 2,000 Christmas gifts. The first 750 aid packages have been delivered, and the remaining ones will be distributed at two distribution events. We are making 2,000 apple slices for all the families who come to collect. Thanks to REMA 1000 Vejgaard for DKK 30,000 ap- plied through KFI. It provides 100 additional families with a better Christmas. The next project is distribution tomorrow afternoon on Tuesday for 500 Ukrainian refugees and on Christmas Eve, the 24th, for over 50 singles and homeless individuals. This is done with the assistance of REMA 1000 in Gug and their application for DKK 30,000 for Christmas aid through KFI. Jacob Dalgaard, Store owner, REMA 1000 Stenbjergvej, Aalborg Ø REMA 1000 Denmark, Danish People’s Aid, and Stop Wasting Food were the first to start na- tionwide Christmas distributions of surplus food to vulnerable Danes directly from the stores on December 23rd. Thus, the first nationwide Christmas distribution of surplus food took place on Christmas Eve 2015 from REMA 1000 stores across the country in collaboration with Danish People’s Aid and Stop Wasting Food and became the three-year project ”Christmas Surplus”. Since then, it has become a movement, and many other retail chains and organisations have their own Christmas distributions on December 23rd. This year, Jacob Dalgaard from REMA 1000, Stenbjergvej in Aalborg Ø, wrote the greeting to the left on our internal social media, Workplace – what a Christmas party and what a surplus. Supermarket chains often experience a certain surplus of food on the evening before Christmas Eve on December 23rd. Stop Wasting Food, led by Selina Juul, took the initiative to combat this waste as early as 2011 through distributions of surplus food in collaboration with partners such as REMA 1000. Focus area: Responsible trade Employees busy packing so the stores can participate in Christmas Surplus 2023.
