How your workplace deliveries are driving positive change
Your workplace fruit, milk, coffee and pantry deliveries might seem like a small decision – but they can have a big impact. Choosing a supplier committed to sustainability, ethical sourcing, and responsible business practices helps drive positive change.
At The Fruit Box Group, we embed Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into everything we do. From reducing waste and supporting communities to upholding HACCP-certified food safety standards. We’re committed to delivering with integrity – helping your business meet its own ESG goals.
Environmental: Reducing waste, cutting emissions and responsible choices
- Smarter sourcing and logistics. Local sourcing and warehousing, and optimised delivery runs reduce our carbon footprint
- Fighting food waste. We minimise waste by owning our supply chain – from sourcing to deliver – and donating any surplus to charities like FareShare
- Sustainable operations. A holistic approach to waste reduction – fruit with varying ripeness levels, milk straight to your office fridge and stock rotation, energy-efficient refrigeration, 100% recyclable pallets, LED lights and continually refining our recycling programs are just some of the ways we run a sustainable operation nationally
- Ethical supply partnerships. Every supplier we work with is held to our Supplier Code of Conduct. This ensures ethical sourcing and environmentally responsible practices
- Eco-friendly packaging. Our branded cardboard boxes are made from 76% recycled materials and are 100% recyclable
- Technology-driven waste reduction. Our online platform Fruit Box Connect and inventory management systems help us minimise overstocking and waste while improving efficiency
Social: Supporting staff wellbeing, local communities and ethical supply chains
- Making fresh food accessible to all. Using our infrastructure and national supply chain, our charity The One Box provides boxes of fresh fruit, vegies and bread to over 2,500 families each week, with the support of 117 partner schools
- Food safety and quality assurance. As a HACCP-certified business, we uphold the highest food safety standards, ensuring quality and compliance across our entire supply chain
- Supporting independent and responsible businesses. Wherever possible, we source fresh fruit and milk locally in each state and support independent and socially responsible businesses
- Backing First Nations businesses. We actively source from Indigenous suppliers, creating economic opportunities and driving long-term social impact
- Diversity, inclusion, and ethical workplaces. We foster an inclusive workplace and work with suppliers who share our values on diversity, equity, and ethical business practices
- Wellbeing at every level. From fostering a positive workplace for our own team to supporting workplace wellbeing across the businesses we work with, our fruit, milk, coffee, and pantry deliveries help businesses create healthier, more connected, and engaged workplaces
- First Nations community support. The One Box works with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to provide fresh food relief to families in need
- Community connection beyond food relief. Our charity The One Box provides more than nutrition and financial relief. It fosters a sense of support and connection for families, strengthening community ties
Governance: Transparency, accountability and ethical business practices that go beyond policy
- Integrity in every delivery. Transparency, accountability and responsible business practices drive how we operate, ensuring ethical governance standards you can trust
- A culture of responsibility. From Work Health & Safety to Inclusion, Diversity and Equity policies, we cultivate a healthy workplace grounded in fairness and accountability at all levels
- Zero tolerance for modern slavery. Through our Modern Slavery Statement, we hold ourselves and our suppliers accountable to ethical and fair labour practices
- Actionable sustainability. Through policies like Environmental Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility, we turn responsible governance into real-world impact
