One of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals is to end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture. In the Philippines food security has been a long-standing problem, with millions of children going hungry due to poverty and lack of access to food. Conversely, food waste is an environmental problem, as food materials that are thrown into the landfills decompose and release carbon dioxide, thereby contributing to the climate crisis.
Allianz PNB Life (AZPNBL) seeks to be part of the solution towards Zero Hunger by partnering with Scholars of Sustenance PH, a non-profit organization that rescues good quality surplus food to make nutritious meals available for the most vulnerable communities. Through this partnership, AZPNBL donated a food truck named “KaGat”, which the nonprofit was able to use for collecting and distributing meals to the communities. “KaGat”, which means 'bite' in Filipino—reflects the company’s unwavering dedication to taking a substantial "bite" out of food waste and hunger.
