At Forest Produce, we're committed to doing our part for the environment. From improving our delivery methods to reducing food waste and sourcing sustainably, we're always looking for ways to lessen our impact on the planet. Here's a look at some of the steps we're taking to become a greener business:

Above: Behind the scenes with our delivery team

SMALL STEPS, BIG IMPACT

We've taken our first steps towards greener transportation with our very own electric van, reducing emissions on our delivery routes. And this is just the beginning! With plans to expand our fleet in the future, we're working hard to reduce our carbon footprint, one delivery at a time.

RECYCLING IN ACTION

Did you know? We recycle all our cardboard and plastic on-site using a compactor. The very boxes we use are made from recycled cardboard, closing the loop on waste and reducing our environmental footprint! Simple, effective, and sustainable- It's just one of the many ways we're making a difference.

SMARTER WITH PODFATHER

We're proud to use Podfather, a system designed to optimise delivery routes and ensure the quickest, most fuel-efficient journeys. Combined with our switch to digital handheld systems, we've significantly reduced paper usage and minimised our carbon footprint- making every delivery as green as possible!

FIGHTING FOOD WASTE

We believe good food shouldn't go to waste. That's why we donate excess stock to local food banks, ensuring it goes to those who need it most. Combined with efficient stock management practices, we're doing our part to keep waste to an absolute minimum.

SUSTAINBLE SOURCING

We're proud to work with local growers and suppliers who share our commitment to sustainability. From supporting the incredible team at Good Earth Growers, who grow everything naturally and organically, to sourcing from other local suppliers, we're bringing you the very best in responsibly grown produce while reducing the miles your food travels.

LOOOKING AHEAD...

This is just the start of our green journey. As we continue to grow, we're exploring even more ways to reduce our impact and support a sustainable future.

We're always looking to do better, and we'd love for you to join us on our journey! Follow us across our socials for updates, tips, and exciting news about sustainability in food service.
