Our Commitment to Sustainable Agriculture

The choices we make today have a profound impact on the future of our planet. That’s why we are constantly incorporating sustainable practices into every aspect of our operations.

Reducing Food Waste

Food waste is a global issue, and we are committed to reducing it throughout the supply chain. Through efficient sorting, we ensure only top-quality produce reaches your inventory. Partnering with Banca de Alimente București, we help repurpose surplus food, redistributing it to those in need and minimizing waste and environmental impact.

Reducing Carbon Footprint

At Select Fruits, we are committed to environmental sustainability. In 2022, through our participation in GreenResources Management’s waste recovery system, we contributed to a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. By optimizing our packaging processes and waste management efforts, we helped save 297 tons of CO₂ equivalent emissions, further supporting our goal of minimizing our carbon footprint while delivering fresh, responsibly sourced produce.

Empowering Local Communities

We’re proud to support small-scale farmers around the world. By partnering with these growers, we not only provide economic stability to their communities, but also help preserve traditional farming methods and biodiversity. Our commitment to fair trade practices ensures that growers receive fair compensation for their hard work.

Sustainable Packaging

We understand the environmental concerns associated with packaging materials. That’s why we are constantly seeking eco-friendly alternatives. Our commitment to sustainable packaging options, such as biodegradable materials and recyclable packaging, reflects our dedication to reducing our carbon footprint.

Cold Storage Efficiency

Our cold storage facilities are designed with energy efficiency in mind. We invest in cutting-edge technology to minimize energy consumption and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This not only helps protect the environment but also ensures the freshness and quality of the produce we supply.

Transportation Solutions

Transportation is a significant contributor to carbon emissions in the agricultural industry. We strive to minimize our carbon footprint by optimizing our transportation routes and utilizing eco-friendly transportation options whenever possible. Our aim is to reduce emissions while ensuring that your produce arrives fresh and on time.
