Doing the right thing keeps the trade alive

Fresh produce depends on healthy soil, fair farms and an efficient cold chain. Our sustainability work isn’t a brochure — it’s how we protect the supply we sell.

Energy-efficient cold chain

Natural-refrigerant plant, heat recovery and rooftop solar at our Rotterdam hub, plus route optimisation to cut transport emissions per tonne.

Less food waste

Tighter cold chains, programmed ripening and accurate forecasting mean more produce sold and less sent to waste. Surplus is redirected to food banks.

Fair grower relationships

Committed volumes, transparent pricing and prompt payment give the farms we buy from the stability to invest in better practice.

Smarter packaging

Reducing plastic where shelf life allows, switching to recyclable and fibre-based formats, and standardising reusable transport packaging.

Responsible sourcing

We support Rainforest Alliance, GRASP and organic chains, and audit social as well as food-safety practice at the farms we work with.

Measured, not assumed

We track energy intensity, waste rate and modal split, and report progress to customers who ask — honestly, including where we fall short.

Food waste

The most sustainable fruit is the fruit that gets eaten

A third of food is lost or wasted globally, and perishables are the worst affected. Every improvement we make to the cold chain — a tighter set point, faster cross-docking, better ripening — means more of what a grower harvested actually reaches a plate.

Where product is still perfectly edible but no longer meets a retail spec, we partner with food banks and redistribution charities rather than sending it to waste.
