What does sustainability mean to Ardo

Sustainability at Ardo. What does that mean exactly?

"A healthy planet is the key to providing nutritious food. At Ardo, we firmly believe this. Our products are gifts from nature, which is why protecting them has been a priority right from the start. Our family has translated that idea into our corporate strategy and culture since the first generation, ensuring sustainability is deeply rooted in both the company and its staff today. By opting for innovative and sustainable practices, we can deliver safe, high-quality products while protecting the environment for generations to come."

How do you make sure sustainability remains at the top of the agenda?
"My goal is to make Ardo future-proof by taking major steps on our path towards sustainability. Our Sustainability Team implements our sustainability strategy and manages the various actions and campaigns. Stephanie Cobbaert has also recently joined the team as Sustainability Coordinator. She is fully committed to harmonising our sustainability strategy within the Ardo Group."

"We keep the planet healthy by taking an innovative approach to our work"

What does the strategy look like?

"Ardo's sustainability strategy consists of five pillars: agronomy; efficient use of raw materials; food safety, quality and innovation; our staff, and Ardo's community. It is rather far-reaching: by providing healthy, safe, fresh-frozen vegetables, herbs and fruit, we want to support the transition to an increasingly plant-based diet. In addition, Ardo wants to have a positive impact on the people who work for us and the community. One way we do this is by donating food to NGOs and food banks."
