Problems and solutions

It is undeniable that social inequality exists in Thailand and many are living in poverty, struggling to afford food and good well-being. On the other hand, tons of edible food are thrown away every day, instead of being redirected to those in need. Furthermore, the problem with the waste management system in Thailand results in this surplus food being thrown into landfills causing pollution that contributes to global warming. These factors impact the quality of life of people in the community and have severe environmental consequences.

The Scholars of Sustenance, Thailand is a food rescue foundation rescue and serves surplus food to communities in need. Currently, from 2016 until 2022, over 16.3 million meals served (equivalent to 3.8 million kgs of surplus food not going to landfills) have been served! At HEAP, our community is our family, and we want to do more than just support local businesses, we want to sustainably improve their quality of life! It is undeniable that food waste and global warming are major issues in Thailand. That’s why we are continuously donating part of our profit towards supporting our partner foundation in combating these issues. We are determined to improve the quality of life of Thai communities, along with our core activity of supporting local businesses, we strive to do more for our community. Therefore, we partner with the Scholars of Sustenance Foundation, Thailand to sustainably combat food waste. We donate part of our profit to support meals for those in need, and to reduce food waste in Thailand. We continuously contribute to making a big impact!
