Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility at HelloFresh

We believe that sustainability means caring for the planet and its people. We're committed to helping eliminate food waste, fight climate change, and innovate sustainable packaging—but our efforts extend beyond the environment.

Through community impact programs, we provide fresh, nutritious meals to people experiencing food insecurity while building the foundation for a more sustainable and equitable food system.

Community Impact and Philanthropy

Giving back to the community and sustainability go hand in hand. By reducing food waste and diverting fresh produce to those in need, we’re working towards creating a more equitable food system that makes nutrition accessible to the communities we serve. Beyond the Box aims to further HelloFresh’s mission of changing the way people eat forever. This initiative addresses the current food system by ensuring that fresh ingredients are available to anyone facing food insecurity in the United States.

We launched Meals with Meaning in 2020 to provide free meal kits to people facing food insecurity in America. Our team draws on the expertise of organizers and volunteers to support community needs wherever we operate. That could mean providing meal kits with step-by-step recipes, ingredient boxes for wholesome dishes, prepared food from local organizations, or even mobile markets. In 2021, we distributed 1.5 million meals, and in 2022, we hope to reach 2 million!

Our Social Impact and Culinary teams collaborated to create Hunger Matters where we empower our communities by sharing wholesome, budget friendly recipes, identifying local food banks and pantries, and healthy eating tips to live better.
