Doing your bit with a simple bite
It’s time to change & we’re all up for it. But when the problem is the size of a planet, where to start? Electric cars, solar panels, swapping not shopping, recycling, upcycling – or simply cycling? The scientists have an easy answer. The more of us who put more plant-based on our plates, the better it is for the planet. Doing your bit with every bite (or sip). Good for you, good for the planet!

Why your food matters!
Right now, our little earth is feeling pretty rough. It’s being pushed to its limits – what the scientists call planetary boundaries. Long story short: what we eat impacts those environmental limits; biodiversity loss, water scarcity and climate change just to name some. Shouty megaphone time. What do we need to do? Whatever we can! When? Right now! How?
One Planet Thinking. Way more plants in our diets and at the same time reduce meat consumption. It’s not quantum physics. It’s what we’ve been talking and walking for 40 years. Right from the get-go, we knew there was a better way to feed the world. That’s why we’ve been pioneering plant-based and planet-friendly since way back in the 80s.
Good food starts with good ingredients
Good to know that all our plant-based products have a naturally light carbon and water footprint. So, whether you’re a soya hound, an oat fanatic or addicted to almond, you’re doing good! Like shopping sustainable and local for fewer food miles. European oats, Mediterranean almonds, even our soya’s grown practically next door! On top of this, we produce sustainably too and keep on improving the process. We hear you. It’s a double win!
Almonds
Our almonds come exclusively from small farms around the Mediterranean. We’re looking at ways for our growers to use as little water as possible, even though their orchards are already mostly watered by rain.
We’re also working with a few of our farmers to completely change the way they do things, using plants, ponds and hedges between their trees to invite wildlife back onto the land. We can’t wait to see who turns up! Oh, and let’s not forget about the bees. After all, they help feed the world, be(e)ing the most important pollinator of food crops. We’re getting together with the almond co-operatives we work with to make sure that by 2025 their farms will be really bee-friendly. Almond blossom honey. Now there’s a thought…
Soya
Our go-to ingredient and the one we use the most of. So, good to know, ours is all rainforest and GMO free. Most is grown right here in Europe (60% comes from France, Belgium and The Netherlands), the rest in Canada (and transported by sea for a lighter carbon footprint). Right now, we’re working with our farmers to check and measure water usage, the effect it has on their local ecosystems and ways it could be cut down. So, go ahead, enjoy the soya!
Oats
The mighty oat! Just like soya, oats are a highly sustainable crop with a just-as-light ecological footprint. Versatile oats may have come a long way from the porridge bowl, but they don’t have to travel far to get to us. All our oats are grown in Europe for fewer food miles. We think they’re pretty tasty, too, so there’ll be no change there.
Coconuts
Coconuts grow quite naturally in Indonesia, where we get them from. They’re a palm tree, for sure, but not related to palm oil in any way. The nuts are handpicked in the traditional way, and the trees left in place to bear more fruits. And coconuts are the crop that just keep on giving! From garden mulch to mats on your floors, every last fibre gets used. We just love it when the waste adds up to a big fat zero!
Making it better
We’re not big on bragging (modest cough). But, if there’s a better way to make it and pack it, we’re on it and proud of it! Recycling the water and heat we use. Recyclable, recycled or plant-based packs that make our products as good outside as they are inside. No more plastic straws or spoons. Yay!
Our One Planet promise. What it means
Remember that One Planet Thinking? For today, tomorrow, 2025 and beyond, here’s the promise we’ve made to you and the planet:
2025, bring it on
So, here’s to 2025
We say, there’s never been a better time to join the plant-based movement. Doing your bit one bite (or sip) at a time.
