Sustainability
Sustainability
We recognize that sustainability is an integral part of how we operate across our value chain – from farm to consumer. Our mission is to bring the global fruit chain together in an efficient and sustainable way, because we want people around the world to be able to enjoy fruit. Now and in the future.Â
'Part of our legacy'
Workers in the Value Chain
We care about the people behind our products. From growers to logistics partners, we work to promote fair, safe, and ethical working conditions throughout our supply chain. In 2024, we intensified our supplier engagement, focusing more on social responsibility and certification to support better practices. Together with our partners, we strive for a supply chain where every worker is treated with dignity and respect.
Food Waste Reduction
At Olympic Fruit, we believe good food should never go to waste. In 2024, we launched Half-Baked, our upcycling hub where surplus fruit and vegetables are turned into new, high-quality products instead of being discarded. By working together with partners, we saved over 70,000 kilos of fruit in our first year. We continue to scale up our efforts, aiming to close loops, reduce food waste, and turn what was once waste into valuable ingredients for the future.
Climate Resilience (CO2 emissions)
Growing and transporting fruit across the world comes with a carbon footprint. In 2024, we calculated our Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions to better understand where our impact lies. We are working to reduce emissions in our own operations and energy use, and collaborating with growers and logistics partners to make farming and transport more sustainable.
Biodiversity and Ecosystem Health
Healthy ecosystems are essential for growing fruit. In 2024, we improved how we track pesticide use and residues, helping us understand and reduce our environmental impact. Together with our growers, we aim to protect biodiversity, soil health, and water quality by balancing crop protection with environmental care. Through projects on our own farm and close partnerships, we’re learning how to farm more sustainably and protect nature for the long term.
chain responsibility
Being part of a collective is crucial. Chain responsibility is a prerequisite for achieving sustainability objectives. We are dedicated to advancing sustainability throughout the entire supply chain by fostering collaboration among stakeholders, acting as chain directors, and mutually reinforcing each other.
