Gander

Gander has announced its nomination for The Earthshot Prize 2025, an accolade that celebrates groundbreaking solutions to the world's most pressing environmental challenges.

Nominated by BVRio, this marks Gander's third opportunity to contend for the prestigious prize, reaffirming its role as a global leader in waste reduction and sustainability.


The Earthshot Prize, spearheaded by Sir David Attenborough, Prince William, and The Royal Foundation, is built around five ambitious goals, or "Earthshots":

  • Protect and Restore Nature
  • Clean Our Air
  • Revive Our Oceans
  • Build a Waste-Free World
  • Fix Our Climate

Gander's nomination aligns closely with the goal of "Building a Waste-Free World." Through its pioneering SaaS technology platform, Gander enables retailers to market and sell items nearing their expiration date, reducing in-store food waste and promoting a circular economy.

Ricardo Salazar, CEO of Gander Brazil, highlighted the urgency of Gander's mission, “The urgency of transforming our efforts to reduce food waste is clear. Gander’s technology enables retailers to reach more consumers, ensuring perfectly good food is sold and consumed rather than wasted.

"This benefits everyone - retailers maintain their margins, consumers access affordable food, and the resources used in food production are preserved.”

Since its launch, Gander has saved an impressive 38.9 million food items from waste. Operating in the UK, Ireland, Australia and Brazil, the platform has become a global force for sustainability, leveraging local data feeds to connect consumers with reduced-price food in real time.

Gander’s nomination underscores its ambition to expand beyond food waste, tackling broader issues of global consumer waste by 2030.

Salazar adds, “Gander’s journey is about creating sustainable solutions that are both commercially viable and environmentally impactful. By addressing food and consumer waste, we’re helping to shape a better future for generations to come."

The Earthshot Prize represents more than recognition for Gander; it is an opportunity to amplify its mission and inspire other innovators worldwide.

As Gander continues to grow and evolve, it remains a beacon of hope and progress, proving that technology and collaboration can drive meaningful change.
