Since October 2021, the management of HM Treasury's buildings has been the responsibility of the Government Property Agency (GPA). As a result, HM Treasury does not monitor the amount of food waste generated by its offices on a monthly basis, though does receive waste management information from the GPA each quarter quarterly basis.

Information on waste arising from HM Treasury's operations is published annually in the Department's Sustainability Report within the Annual Report and Accounts.
