Sustainability
at HelloFresh

At HelloFresh, we want to change the way people eat forever. A large part of that is developing a more sustainable way to buy, prepare and enjoy food every day with our meal kits.

Our Meal Kits: Sustainable by Nature

By sourcing many of our ingredients directly from Aussie suppliers and delivering the produce to you without any detours, we remove steps from the traditional supply chain. This shorter supply chain means we avoid packaging and repackaging along the way. Plus, we use pre-portioned ingredients for our recipes, which means you also avoid food waste. As a result, your HelloFresh meals create 15% fewer carbon emissions than the same meals made from supermarket ingredients. Learn more about our Life Cycle Assessment Study.

Our Sustainability Efforts

Our Sustainability Efforts

HelloFresh takes sustainability seriously. In 2022, we committed to set science-based emissions reduction targets. These targets are in line with the Paris Climate Agreement's goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. To learn more, take a look at our 2023 Non-Financial Report and see our latest sustainability achievements and how we measure their impact.

Keeping More on Your Plate

Keeping More on Your Plate

Reducing carbon emissions every step of the way
