For example, we have several types of recyclable cardboard packaging and our carry bags are made of paper instead of plastic. We also pack various products in a cellulose net that is 100% compostable. Because a good organic product deserves good, responsible packaging.<\/p>\n<h4>Responsible use of electricity<\/h4>\n<p>In our headquarters in Dronten, we work in a state-of-the-art, gas-free office building which has four electric charging stations. Our partners, growers, and suppliers also make responsible choices about their use of electricity and we regularly see solar panels appear on the rooftops and wind turbines in the fields.<\/p>\n<h4>Responsible use of food<\/h4>\n<p>What happens if a batch of vegetables or fruit is rejected despite all precautions, but it is still fit for human consumption? Then we will try to find a suitable use for this product. It could be a food bank, but it could also be a producer of juice and smoothies, for example, so that we waste as little food as possible.<\/p>\n<p>There are also other ways in which we contribute to a more sustainable world. A large number of our employees work on a hybrid basis: office days alternate with home working days, increasing numbers of staff consciously decide to opt for an electric or hybrid car when leasing a car, we work digitally as much as possible (paper-free invoicing) and we use time switches on lighting and equipment. And, of course, there will be more to come.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sustainability Home Sustainability Making the world grow through organic farming Sustainability means caring for the balance between people, the environment and the economy so that we don&#8217;t exhaust the world&#8217;s resources and that we leave a habitable planet behind for future generations.
