Carbon footprint of Nature's Pride
Blonk carried out a CO2 baseline measurement (carbon footprint) for Nature's Pride, a company based in the Netherlands. Nature's Pride supplies 230 different fruit and vegetable products from 59 countries, including avocados, berries, ginger, and papayas. One of their aims is to make the world healthier and more sustainable. In pursuit of this aim, the company runs various projects on food packaging and food loss reduction. Nature's Pride also supports projects to improve living conditions in communities where they source their products. The results of our baseline study will help Nature's Pride understand how they can best reduce their CO2 emissions and set goals to achieve this.
