Operating as a responsible corporate citizen is equally as important as what we deliver to our customers.
AgroFresh’s sustainability commitment comes from 40 years of delivering innovative products, services and digital solutions to better protect and preserve the planet through prolonged produce freshness, reduced food waste, and significantly less food loss. Sustainability is at the core of what we do in service to our customers.
Our philosophy is grounded in results that make a greater sustainable impact. In 2019, AgroFresh quantified the environmental impact of SmartFresh™ in the U.S., France and Italy – three of the world’s largest apple producers. Read more about the positive impact of SmartFresh.
As individuals, the people of AgroFresh prioritize sustainability both personally and in their careers.
In 2022, we reinforced our commitment to deliver solutions that improve produce quality, help to reduce food waste and further advance sustainability for our customers, our community, and the planet.
