HelloFresh has joined the Science Based Targets initiative with our sights set on reducing emissions across the supply chain. We would do this by, for example, increasing the renewable energy used in our operations.
By sourcing many of our ingredients directly from local suppliers we remove steps from the traditional supply chain. This saves carbon emissions by cutting back on transport time and extra storage. In fact, our Life Cycle Analysis has shown that HelloFresh meals create 15% fewer carbon emissions than the same meals made from supermarket ingredients. If you’re looking for recipes with the lowest carbon emissions on our menu each week, keep an eye out for the “Climate Superstar” tag.
We are continuously innovating to find more sustainable options or to remove packaging altogether. The good news is that a lot of the packaging from your box (including the box itself!) can be recycled. Head on over to our
packaging page to find out more.
