Toast Brewing in the UK has turned 200,000 slices of unwanted bread into a "planet-saving beer," the Guardian reports.
It's all thanks to the generosity of Compass Group, one of the UK's biggest companies, which has spent more than $13 million with social enterprises since joining the Buy Social Corporate Challenge eight years ago.
The challenge encourages companies to spend at least half their profits from their supply chain on social or environmental causes.
Since its launch, Compass Group and Foodbuy have spent more than $13 million with social enterprises.
"These latest results show that our Buy Social Corporate Challenge is not some well-meaning experiment for businesses willing to try something differentit's a powerful force for change in corporate supply chains," says the deputy chief executive of Social Enterprise UK.
