Examples of the UN 2030 Goals and their alignment to our organization:
SDG 2: Zero Hunger
Relevance: This goal aims to end hunger, achieve food security, improve nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture. Frozen fruits and vegetables play a critical role in food security by extending shelf life, reducing waste, and ensuring year-round access to nutritious produce. Our historic donations of frozen products to US food banks directly supports this goal by addressing hunger and providing healthy food options.
SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being
Relevance: This goal focuses on ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being. Organic frozen fruits and vegetables retain high nutritional value, supporting healthy diets. Our SQF Level 2 and USDA NOP certifications ensure food safety, reducing health risks from contamination. Our rigorous food safety standards (as highlighted in the new Food Safety section) and organic focus provide safe, nutrient-rich products for B2B clients, contributing to consumer health. Steam-in-the-bag technology makes healthy eating convenient, encouraging consumption of vegetables and fruits.
SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
Relevance: This goal promotes sustainable production and consumption patterns, including reducing food waste. Frozen produce minimizes waste by preserving perishable items, and your food bank donations directly address waste reduction while supporting communities. Our focus on frozen foods reduce food spoilage, while your global supply chain optimizes resource use. Donating food further prevents waste. Providing industrial clients with bulk organic frozen produce reduces waste in their manufacturing processes, aligning with sustainability goals.
SDG 13: Climate Action
Relevance: This goal addresses climate change mitigation. Frozen food production can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by minimizing food waste and optimizing supply chains. Our global supply chain, vetted for sustainable practices, and focus on organic farming (which often uses fewer synthetic inputs) support climate-friendly agriculture. Efficient freezing processes and partnerships with growers minimize environmental impact. Supplying top-tier retailers with organic frozen fruits reduces the carbon footprint compared to fresh produce with shorter shelf life. Our continuous improvement on reducing packaging inputs and maximizing freight utilization further supports this goal.
SDG 15: Life on Land
Relevance: This goal focuses on sustainable land use, biodiversity, and combating land degradation. Organic farming for your frozen produce supports soil health and reduces chemical use, while your partnerships with small farmers promote sustainable agricultural practices. Our certified organic fruits and vegetables are sourced from growers prioritizing biodiversity and soil conservation. Supplying organic frozen vegetables to club stores promotes environmentally friendly farming practices to a wide audience.
SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
Relevance: By partnering with top-tier US retailers, foodservice, and industrial companies, you drive economic growth in the food sector. Our team in an above average tenure reflects stable, inclusive employment practices. Our partnerships create jobs across the supply chain, from farming to logistics, supporting economic development.
SDG 5: Gender Equality (Supporting Relevance)
Relevance: While not directly tied to frozen produce, this goal is relevant due to our team made up of mostly women. Empowering women in agriculture aligns with gender equality in the food supply chain.
