WEB SUMMIT 2023 – The Zero Waste Commitment
Digital Future Meets Innovation and Sustainability

One more edition of WEB SUMMIT 2023, the world’s largest event dedicated to start-ups, entrepreneurs, and technology innovation, will take place from November 13th, bringing 70,000+ people together with the companies redefining the tech industry to Lisbon, Portugal.

At a time of great uncertainty for many industries and the world itself, the WEB SUMMIT 2023 gathers policymakers, heads of state, and the founders and CEOs of technology companies and fast-growing startups to ask a simple question: Where to next? WEB SUMMIT 2023 brings together the people and companies redefining the global tech industry. Experts from every industry come together to share new ideas about the future and sustainability.

DARiACORDAR established a partnership with WEB SUMMIT 2023 so that it becomes a zero food waste event and zero plastic packaging waste. Every day, uneaten food items are recovered and donated. This is another important action and program towards a zero-waste future.

For each edition of WEB SUMMIT since 2016, 1,283 kilograms of food waste have been avoided, and an estimated 2,566 meals have been donated. This also means that more than 5,388 kilograms of CO2 emissions were prevented.

WEB SUMMIT chose to work with DARiACORDAR because it’s a Portuguese social and environmental non-profit organization that approaches waste holistically, tackling the entire waste hierarchy pyramid, from prevention to landfilling.

DARiACORDAR will raise awareness by promoting communication, information, education, and research activities to change behaviors and attitudes. Its ambition is to transform the world by thinking about circular and sustainable solutions, processes, and industries by concept and design – not just by default.
