Historically Reported Initiatives
Programs and metrics described in the source materials supplied for this site.
Planet — pursuing Net Zero
The November 2022 sustainability framework stated a Net Zero and net-positive ambition. It attributed an estimated 20 million fewer plastic bags per year to string packaging and described carton-size logistics optimisation.
People — our key asset
By November 2022, our team had grown from 30 people in 2018 to more than 200. The same management materials reported that more than 60 team members had received high-skill training.
Prosperity — Food For All Africa
The November 2022 materials reported Daily Food's chairship of the Food For All Africa Advisory Board and described the NGO as reaching more than 10,000 people per month. A December 2018 report said the partnership planned weekly pastries for 300 vulnerable people and regular institutional donations.
Governance — sustainability from the top down
The November 2022 materials described Board-level sustainability oversight and reported ISO 22000 and FSSC 22000 certification, including a claim that Boss Baker was then Ghana's only ISO 22000-certified industrial bakery.
The FoodForAll Partnership
A December 2018 report covered the partnership launch at the maiden National Pastry Day in Accra with Chef Elijah Amoo Addo and Food For All Africa.
The December 2018 report said the partnership planned for 300 vulnerable people to receive free Boss Baker pastries every week across Accra and beyond, alongside regular institutional donations.
“National Pastry Day is an event many Ghanaians do not know about, but DailyFood, Boss Baker and FoodForAll are delighted to announce that the event will be celebrated annually in Ghana,” said Geoffrey Fadoul, MD of Daily Food, at the inaugural event.
At the inaugural event, Food For All founder Chef Elijah Amoo Addo said that one in four children in Ghana goes to bed without food, and approximately 45% of food is wasted along the supply chain — the gap the partnership aimed to address.
