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 🌱🌍.
