    • High-impact benefit at low per-employee cost
    • Strengthens sustainability culture and engagement

18+ years in professional food service

What is the VeggieFresh corporate program?

Companies enrol their workforce in a subsidised or fully covered VeggieFresh subscription. Employees receive a commercial-grade, 100% natural mineral technology — used in professional food service for over 18 years — delivered directly to their homes every 90 days.

The result: produce lasts up to 50% longer. Less food is wasted. Households save money. And the organisation captures the environmental impact as enabled emissions — a credible, auditable ESG contribution beyond direct operations.

Most corporate wellness programs require employees to log hours in an app, go to a gym, or radically change their behavior — resulting in low adoption. VeggieFresh is the ultimate passive benefit. You put it in the fridge, and it works.

Your employees eat healthier, save thousands of dollars, and your company gets a verifiable ESG win without changing a single corporate operation.

The ESG blind spot hiding in every household.

Most corporate sustainability strategies focus inward — optimising buildings, supply chains, and operations. But employee households represent a significant and largely untouched source of avoided emissions and financial inefficiency.

What makes this different from other ESG initiatives.

  • No behavior mandate

    VeggieFresh works passively. Employees do not need to change habits — the product does the work. Adoption is frictionless and universal from day one.

  • Immediate, tangible value

    Unlike carbon offset program, which can feel abstract, employees experience real savings on their very next grocery run. The benefit is felt directly, not just reported.

  • Proven at commercial scale

    The same technology has served restaurants, hotels, and hospitals for more than 18 years without contracts, because it works. VeggieFresh now brings that same reliability to the household level.

  • Credible ESG positioning

    Enabled emissions reporting is becoming increasingly standard. This program provides a real, auditable data point rather than a pledge or projection.

How to credibly communicate this impact.

This is “enabled impact” — not a Scope 1, 2, or 3 reduction claim.

When a company provides VeggieFresh to employees, it enables behaviour that reduces methane generation outside its direct value chain. Under the GHG Protocol and emerging BVCM (Beyond Value Chain Mitigation) standards, this qualifies as an avoided emissions contribution.

This category is increasingly recognised in voluntary climate frameworks used by companies such as Microsoft, IKEA, and Unilever. The impact is attributable, quantifiable, and additive to an existing sustainability portfolio. It does not require restatement of existing Scope 3 figures.
