Sustainability

All the plastic containers and corrugated boxes that we use are made from recycled materials. We also employ a Reuse and Recycle plan to minimize waste across the supply chain.

Sustainability also includes responsible water usage. To that end, we have implemented programs for water recycling to reduce overall usage.

The strong relationships we maintain with our growers and distributors allows us to collaborate with them to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, our highly experienced logistics team strives to minimize our carbon footprint when planning our delivery routes.

We make all these efforts to ensure that our products are always as “green” as possible.
