Ardo's sustainably produced plant-based offering is a contribution to the global movement towards a healthy, well-balanced plant-based diet . The products are grown in the open air and frozen locally right after harvest to retain maximum flavour and nutritional value .
To minimise its ecological footprint , Ardo has set up multiple initiatives, such as optimising water and energy resources, reducing packaging waste, increasing biodiversity on its fields , and using innovative farming techniques to maximise crop quality while minimising its environmental impact . The company also applies what it has learned from the organic industry , resulting in the majority of its conventional crops containing no detectable residues, and its organic production having more than doubled since 2015 .
Leadership is vital to achieving Ardo's sustainability objectives, and the company's perspective on sustainability seeps into its approach to leadership . The team pursues a common purpose and leverages each other's strengths , firmly believing that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts . Together, Ardo feeds the future .
