There is Such a Thing as a Free Lunch: Changing Consumption Culture with Tessa Clarke

Published: May 20, 2020, 1:59 p.m.

(Thought Leader Chat Podcast) Co-founder of OLIO, Tessa Clarke, joins us for the latest episode of the TLC Podcast. OLIO was founded to combat food waste in the UK, and its app connects neighbours with each other and with local businesses so surplus food can be shared, not thrown away. This could be food nearing its sell-by date in local stores, spare home-grown vegetables, bread from the local baker, or the groceries in the user's fridge. For the user's convenience, OLIO can also be used for non-food household items too. OLIO has won numerous accolades including a UN Momentum for Change award, a Europa award, a Sustainable City award, a national CSR award, and two SPARKies tech awards. Olio shares more than 70,000 meals a month and has almost 2 million users. Tessa discusses the importance of being 'mission obsessed' over mission aligned, the task of changing how we consume food, the importance of community to driving OLIO forward and targetting 1 BILLION USERS by 2030.
