Our Recipe Box: Sustainable by Nature

We source your ingredients directly from the producer and deliver to your home without any detours. Your recipe box comes with pre-measured ingredients which helps to avoid food waste. This shorter supply chain means we avoid packaging and repackaging along the way. As a result, your HelloFresh meals create 25%* 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 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.
No Detours

No Detours

We order all ingredients directly from our suppliers, so your groceries are delivered straight to your home without stopping at warehouses and retailers. This saves CO₂ emissions by cutting back on transport time and extra storage.
Keeping More on Your Plate

Keeping More on Your Plate

We only buy the quantity of ingredients required to fill our customers’ orders each week, and pre-portion these so you only receive what's needed.
Climate Conscious recipes

Climate Conscious recipes

We have now launched Climate Conscious recipes in our boxes. These recipes are responsible for the lowest amount of CO2e emissions on the weekly menu and produce at least 50% less carbon emissions than the average HelloFresh meal. Climate Conscious recipes are just as convenient, tasty and balanced as our other meals, but give you one more way to make everyday sustainable food choices with HelloFresh.
Innovative Packaging

Innovative Packaging

Your ingredients are always of the highest quality and are delivered to your door fresh and safe. We are continuously innovating to find more sustainable options or to remove packaging altogether.
Freshly Sourced

Freshly Sourced

Where food comes from is as important as how it tastes. We attach a great deal of importance to regional and seasonal produce, as well as sustainable agriculture, fishing, and animal farming.
