Sustainability

At Fruitful Office, sustainability isn’t about big promises. It’s about the choices we make every day. Less packaging, less emissions, fewer kilometres, and less waste. More of that less. That’s why our fruit doesn’t just taste great and feel healthy – it feels good too.

Our mission

We sink our teeth into what really matters: a healthy workplace and a healthy planet. That’s why we deliver smart, source locally wherever possible, and give fruit a second life instead of letting it go to waste. Our goal? Remove waste from the chain altogether and step by step move towards Net Zero.

Because for us, sustainability isn’t a side issue. It’s at the core of everything we do. And social impact is naturally part of that. More opportunities for people, more trees growing, more healthy choices at work. Together, bite by bite, we build a future that tastes good and feels even better.

We are carbon neutral in direct emissions.

Together we make the difference

Grown green

Our mission starts at the source. We buy as much as possible locally (in the UK and Western Europe) and directly from growers. That saves food miles and keeps fruit extra fresh. All our suppliers have Global GAP as a minimum, all our core suppliers are BRC certified and our core banana suppliers are also Rainforest Alliance certified.

Less packaging

We cut waste from the chain wherever we can. Growers are increasingly packing fruit either loose or in reusable or sustainable bags. All our crates are re-used ensuring 100% recyclability. We are also using paper bags for our grapes and cardboard punnets for our berries.

Smart logistics

Every food mile counts. More than half of our routes are already emission-free. We plan smart, drive the shortest routes, and deliver in crates that last forever.

Zero waste

Not a single piece of fruit is thrown away. Leftovers go to hundreds of foodbanks and charities right across the UK via The Felix Project (FareShare). Anything no longer edible is converted into green energy via ReFood UK.

More trees

For every three fruit crates we deliver, we plant one tree in Malawi. So with every delivery, not only do healthy office habits grow, but new forests too – capturing CO₂ and creating income for local families.

FAQs about sustainability of our fruit

Why is office fruit from Fruitful Office sustainable?

We deliver smart, local, and without unnecessary packaging. More than half of our routes are already emission-free, and for every three crates we plant a tree. That way, you combine healthy eating at work with real impact.

What happens to leftover fruit?

Not a single piece goes to waste. We donate surplus fruit to hundreds of foodbanks and charities right across the UK via The Felix Project (FareShare). Anything no longer edible is turned into green energy via ReFood UK.

Is your fruit really local and seasonal?

Yes. We source over half our fruit (excluding bananas) from the UK and Western Europe, and directly from the grower. That saves food miles and keeps fruit extra fresh. All our suppliers have Global GAP as a minimum, all our core suppliers are BRC certified and our core banana suppliers are also Rainforest Alliance certified.

Are you plastic-free?

Yes. We don’t use plastic in our products. All our crates are re-used ensuring 100% recyclability. We are also using paper bags for our grapes and cardboard punnets for our berries.

Do you deliver fruit electrically?

Yes. More than half of our deliveries are already fully electric. This saves thousands of miles of emissions each year. Our goal: step by step towards a fleet that is 100% electric and emission-free.
