We produce fewer CO₂ emissions than the traditional food system because our innovative, short supply chain means we can reduce transport time by making fewer stops between our suppliers and customers.

No detours

Reducing carbon emissions every step of the way

#343434

Thanks to our short supply chain, ingredients make fewer stops between the supplier and you. Food gets to you faster and stays fresh for longer, producing fewer carbon emissions and less food waste*.

With HelloFresh, it’s easy to reduce carbon emissions at mealtimes. 

As the world’s biggest recipe box provider, HelloFresh recognises the important role we play in the food industry and the opportunity we have to make a meaningful impact. HelloFresh is taking a number of actions to reduce carbon emissions across every step of our ingredient sourcing, packaging and delivery processes. Where possible, we look for ways to replace CO2 with renewable forms of energy.

Continuously improving the supply chain

HelloFresh conducted a life cycle assessment study (LCA) to analyse the journey and average impact of a vegetarian, chicken and beef meal from start to finish.

<h2 id="the-study-found-that-cooking-with-hellofresh-creates-25-fewer-carbon-emissions-than-the-same-meals-made-from-supermarket-ingredients">The study found that cooking with HelloFresh creates 25%** fewer carbon emissions than the same meals made from supermarket ingredients.</h2>


While ingredient production is the biggest contributor to carbon emissions, our short supply chain goes a long way to reducing CO2 emissions. 
<br><br>
Your HelloFresh ingredients are sourced locally wherever possible. Not only do they travel shorter distances, but there are fewer stops between the supplier and your door. This makes for fewer carbon emissions and, because we only buy ingredients in the right amounts, creates significantly less food waste**.

You can now add meals with fewer carbon emissions to your HelloFresh box. These are recipes on the menu with the smallest carbon footprint, producing at least 50% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than an average HelloFresh meal in a given week. 
<br> <br>
To calculate the environmental impact, HelloFresh partnered with HowGood to assess the “CO2 equivalent” (CO2e) of our recipes. This includes greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the production and processing of ingredients.

Serving up meals with fewer emissions

Reducing carbon emissions is a multi-faceted process. One of the direct ways to lower emissions is by making HelloFresh distribution centres more energy-efficient. This involves small- and large-scale changes, from replacing equipment to establishing strict criteria for energy suppliers. Across all markets, HelloFresh is transitioning to renewable forms of energy such as solar, wind and hydropower where possible.
