1. Our position
2. Four areas
Grower and processor partnerships
Long relationships rather than annual re-tendering. A source who expects to be our source next year invests differently in their operation. Where a partnership warrants it, we invest directly in equipment, process, or training — the most concrete sustainability practice in this company.
Fruit that would otherwise be lost
Freight and inventory efficiency
The organic range
3. Nutrition
Nutrition is one of our named brand themes and it belongs here rather than in a separate corner of the site. Real fruit and vegetables, in formats built for manufacturing, let a formulator put recognisable ingredients on a label — the same ingredients a consumer would find in their own kitchen. Clean-label positioning only works if the ingredient behind it is actually the simple thing the label implies. Ours are. → Clean label and formulation: Applications
4. Data for your reporting
Your ESG report needs supplier data. Here is ours.
California’s climate disclosure laws are the current pressure point. SB 253 requires large companies doing business in the state to report Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions beginning in 2026, and Scope 3 — which is where purchased ingredients live — from 2027. The requests are already moving down supply chains, and a supplier who cannot answer them creates work for somebody on your team.
What we will not do is estimate a number we cannot support so that a form looks complete. If we do not have it, we will say so and tell you what we are doing about it. → Request Supplier Sustainability Documentation
- Completed supplier sustainability and ESG questionnaires, returned rather than deflected
- Sourcing, handling, and logistics information for your Scope 3 calculations, at the level we can evidence
- Certification documentation, current, in one package
- A named person who owns the request — the same one who owns your qualification file
5. What we’re not claiming
- A carbon footprint number. No verified figure yet for our operations or purchased goods. Publishing an unaudited estimate would be worse than publishing nothing.
- Regenerative or specific on-farm practices. We do not farm the acreage. Where a source operates to a recognised standard we can document that; we will not describe their agronomy as though it were ours.
- Net-zero or dated targets. No target until there is a baseline and a plan behind it.
- Water and packaging programmes. Both are real levers. Neither has a program here yet that would survive being read closely.
Review before publishing. If any of these do exist with evidence, move them up into section 2. This list should shrink over time, and a visible review date makes that progress legible rather than invisible.
The objection
“Everyone has a sustainability page. Why is yours worth reading?”
Because it is shorter than it could be. We could have filled this page — the vocabulary is free and nobody audits a website. What is on it instead is four things with evidence behind them and a list of the things we deliberately did not claim.
If your sustainability team wants to test that, the fastest way is to send us your supplier questionnaire. You will learn more about how we operate from the answers than from anything written above.
Last reviewed: [MONTH YEAR] — sustainability content ages badly and undated claims age worst. It also quietly proves the page is maintained rather than written once in 2026 and abandoned.
