We believe that sustainability is not a trend
When Freshtable launched in 2020, the company started as a direct response to many social and global issues. Sustainability is often (wrongly) treated as an isolated topic, but the opposite is true. Sustainability is also linked to social inclusion, nutrition and refugee policy. Our mission is to change the current view of sustainability and show you how easy it can sometimes be to contribute to a better world.
Our promise: the Sustainability Promise
We are an advocate of fairness and transparency. When it comes to sustainability, we believe that too often the responsibility lies with individuals themselves, where companies cause the most pollution. That is why we have made the Sustainability Promise from the start. A promise to take our responsibility as a company and to continuously challenge ourselves in the field of sustainable solutions. This means that our sustainability specialists continuously research relevant topics and are looking for innovative solutions and improvements to our current process.
