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. 

To enact meaningful transformation, we have pledged our commitment to SIFAV and outlined our forward CSR strategy. This strategy focuses on five sustainability pillars where we believe we can make the greatest impact: Planet Smart Action, Regenerative Farming, Working Conditions, Water Stewardship, and Food Waste Reduction.

'Part of our legacy'

Planet Smart Actions

Taking action towards climate change is essential to building a resilient and future-proof value chain. By setting clear and measurable targets and working closely with our growers and logistics partners, we monitor and manage our COâ‚‚ emissions across the entire value chain. This collaborative approach enables us to identify reduction opportunities, improve efficiency in farming, transport, and operations, and continuously reduce the carbon footprint of our activities.

Regenerative Farming​

Healthy and resilient soil is key to sustainable produce and thriving ecosystems. By adopting regenerative agricultural practices, we aim to nourish and improve soil health, enhance biodiversity, and strengthen farm ecosystems. Through close collaboration with our growers, we contribute to long-term environmental sustainability while supporting climate-resilient farming systems that protect natural resources.

Water Stewardship

Water is an essential natural resource and a key element of sustainable agriculture. We strive to manage it responsibly by enhancing water availability for our stakeholders, complying with certification standards to reduce water-related risks, and promoting efficient use and conservation practices with our suppliers. Through these efforts, we contribute to protecting water resources and supporting resilient ecosystems.

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.

Working Conditions​

We are committed to guaranteeing safe, fair, and ethical working conditions for every worker across our value chain. By adhering to recognized social compliance schemes and actively engaging with our partners, we promote respect for human rights, fair labor practices, and responsible business conduct. Our goal is to build a transparent and inclusive supply chain where people are treated with dignity and respect.

We are proud to present our Sustainability Report 2024/2025.
Looking back, some highlights stand out. We sourced 85% of our total volume with a social certificate and saved 70,000 kilos of fruit from waste through our upcycling partner Half-Baked.
