Here at Gousto, we’re passionate about more than just delivering delicious dinners to your doorstep across the UK. We believe that what ends up on your plate shouldn’t cost the earth. That’s why sustainability isn’t just a buzzword for us; it’s woven into the very fabric of how we operate, from the field to your fork. We’re on a continuous journey to minimise our environmental impact, and we want to share some of the ways we’re working towards a more sustainable future for food in the UK.
One of the biggest challenges in the food industry is waste, both in production and in our homes. At Gousto, we’re tackling food waste head-on. Our precisely portioned ingredients are a key part of this fight. By sending you exactly what you need for each recipe, we significantly reduce the amount of food that ends up languishing in your fridge and eventually in the bin. Think about it – no more half-used bags of spinach wilting away or forgotten vegetables turning to mush. We empower you to cook delicious meals while minimising your contribution to the UK’s food waste problem.
But our commitment doesn’t stop at your kitchen. We at Gousto are also deeply invested in minimizing the environmental footprint of our packaging. We understand that packaging is essential to ensure your ingredients arrive fresh and in perfect condition, but we’re constantly exploring innovative ways to make it more sustainable. This is an ongoing journey, and we’re actively working to reduce the amount of packaging we use, increase the recyclability of our materials, and explore alternative, eco-friendly options. From trialling new materials to optimising our box designs, we’re dedicated to making our packaging as kind to the planet as possible.
Furthermore, we at Gousto believe in the power of responsible sourcing, particularly within the UK. We’re committed to building strong relationships with British farmers and producers who share our values. By prioritising local sourcing where possible, we not only support the UK’s agricultural community but also reduce the carbon footprint associated with long-distance transportation. We strive to know where our ingredients come from, ensuring that they are produced in a way that respects both the environment and the people who grow them. This means looking closely at factors like farming practices, animal welfare, and the overall impact on the local ecosystem.
Gousto’s commitment to sustainability isn’t a static goal; it’s a continuous process of learning, adapting, and improving. We’re constantly seeking new ways to innovate and reduce our environmental impact across our entire operation. We believe that by taking responsibility for our footprint, we can help create a more sustainable food system for everyone in the UK.
So, when you choose Gousto, you’re not just choosing delicious and convenient meals. You’re also choosing a company that is committed to making a positive impact on the planet. We believe that flavour and sustainability can go hand-in-hand, and we’re proud to be on this journey with you, our customers, as we work towards a more delicious and sustainable future for food in the UK.
