Ardo Information

Ardo, a world leader in the production and sales of fresh-frozen vegetables, fruit and herbs, has a strong focus on sustainability, which is at the heart of its mission and vision. The company strives to create a double positive impact by preserving natural resources and protecting the planet and communities, including the next generations. 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.
