Sustainability as a strategic choice

At Den Berk Délice, sustainability is not an afterthought. It is embedded in everything we do — from how we grow and use energy to how we collaborate with people and partners. We are therefore proud to present our Sustainability Report 2025, in which we clearly outline where we stand today and where we are heading.

“Sustainability is not an afterthought, but a strategic choice”  - Coen de Ruiter, Group CEO

Building the future, today

Sustainable business for us means building a company that is ready for tomorrow. A financially healthy organisation that can continue to invest in a better, healthier and more sustainable future — for current and future generations alike.

We translated this ambition into a clear strategy, based on a thorough analysis of our impact, risks and opportunities across the entire value chain. This allows us to make conscious choices that make a difference both ecologically, socially and economically.

From intention to action

Our report shows that sustainability only truly has an impact when it is made concrete:

• We are working towards a significant reduction in our energy consumption, with the ambition to reduce our gas usage by 30% by 2030.

• We focus on cultivation methods with the lowest possible impact and on more efficient use of water and resources.

• We invest in our people, with attention to wellbeing, safety and growth opportunities.

• And we build strong partnerships to continue innovating together.

Healthy food as a positive impact

At the same time, we want to do more than just reduce our own impact. We also aim to make a positive contribution to society.

“We make healthy choices accessible and appealing.” 

By developing flavourful and high-quality tomatoes, we encourage consumers to choose healthy food more often. Because real impact starts with what people put on their plates every day.

Growing together - with focus on people, taste and sustainability

Our sustainability strategy is built around clear pillars, but the common thread is simple: growing together. With our employees, our partners and our customers.

“Together, we continue to build on a strong foundation, with a focus on taste, people and sustainability.” 

With this report, we not only want to be transparent about our approach, but also extend an invitation: to keep building together towards a future-proof sector.
